DESCRIPTION:The standard theory of neutrino oscillations is reviewed\, wit
 h a critical discussion of the main assumptions. The definition of the neu
 trino flavor states is clarified. It is shown that a flavor neutrino state
  that describes a neutrino produced or detected in a charged-current weak 
 interaction process depends on the process under consideration and is appr
 opriate for the description of neutrino oscillations as well as for the ca
 lculation of neutrino production or detection rates. Hence\, we have a con
 sistent framework for the description of neutrino oscillations and interac
 tions in neutrino oscillation experiments. A brief description of the wave
 -packet theory of neutrino oscillations is also given\, with a discussion 
 of its motivations. Finally\, we answer the commonly asked question "Do ch
 arged leptons oscillate?".\n\nhttps://indico.ific.uv.es/event/1611/
