Question

Is it possible for quarks and charged leptons to 'oscillate' analogously to neutrinos?

Answer 1

The Cabibbo–Kobayashi–Maskawa (CKM) matrix mixes the flavor eigenstates of quarks) CP violations mix d, s and b quarks and u, c and t quarks. The weak interaction partners of mass eigenstates of down type quarks d'. s' and b' are according to d, s and b and similarly up-type quarks, u′, c′ and t′, in terms of u, c, and t.
i.e. would it be possible for the flavour eigenstate of a quark/lepton produced in a weak interaction to be detected as a different flavour eigenstate at a distant detector due to the states propagating according to their mass eigenstates
