We review the study of the inverse β-decay of uniformly accelerated protons in the context of neutrino flavor mixing. Letting ourselves be guided by some core theoretical principles, such as the general covariance of Quantum Field Theory and the conservation law of the family lepton numbers built into the Standard Model, we infer non-trivial results on the asymptotic nature of neutrinos.
