Abstract
By resorting to recent results on fermion mixing which show that the F ock space of definite flavor states is unitarily inequivalent to the F ock space of definite mass states, we discuss the phenomenological imp lications on the neutrino oscillation formula. For finite momentum the oscillation amplitude is depressed, or ''squeezed'', by a momentum de pendent factor. In the relativistic limit the conventional oscillation formula is recovered.
