Abstract
The Berry phase of mixed states, here neutrino oscillations, is calculated in an accelerating and rotating reference frame. It turns out to depend on the vacuum mixing angle, the mass-squared difference and on the coupling between the momentum of the neutrino and the spinorial connection. Berry's phase for solar neutrinos and its geometrical aspects are also discussed.
