The electron neutrino correlation, a, expresses the dependence of decay rate on the angle between the neutrino and electron, cos(Vev) = cos(Ve)cos(Vv) + sin(Ve)sin(Vv)cos([phi]e - [phi]v).
On the measurement of the electron-neutrino correlation in neutron ... by Bowman, J. David / Journal of Research of the National Institute of Standards and Technology
What's really been going on is that electron neutrinos change, or oscillate, into one or both of the other two neutrino flavors en route from the sun's core.
