### Description

Abstract
Nowadays the standard way to describe neutrino oscillations is the quantum-mechanical approach in terms of plane waves, because the current description of the phenomenon within quantum field theory with the help of localized wave packets is very bulky [1]. However, there was an earlier attempt to describe neutrino oscillations within the standard Feynman diagram technique [2]. We elaborate upon this description and show that the processes of neutrino oscillations can be consistently described in the framework of a new quantum field-theoretical approach without use of the neutrino flavor states and wave packets. It is based on the Feynman diagram technique with a modified distance-dependent propagator, which takes into account the geometry of neutrino oscillation experiments [3,4]. The advantages of this description are physical clearness and technical simplicity. Within this approach, we discuss specific examples of neutrino oscillation processes in vacuum and a magnetic field, where the neutrinos are detected through the weak charged- and neutral-current interactions [5].
