Accurate GPS orientation of a long baseline for Neutrino Oscillation Experiments at Fermilab

Neutrino Oscillation Experiments at Fermilab

Neutrinos are special. They are the only elementary fermions which are neutral, thus they can be their own antiparticles. Their masses (if nonzero) are several orders of magnitude smaller than those of charged leptons or quarks. These two facts may be, in fact, related: with both Dirac and Majorana, masses present, the neutrino mass eigenstates will naturally split, with the light mass eigensta...

Long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments

In the last decade, the study of flavor oscillations with neutrino long baseline experiments has been an extremely effective way to get information on the mass (up to an unknown scale) and the mixing between weak and mass neutrino eigenstates. In particular, accelerator driven experiments have determined precisely the so-called 2-3 sector and are beginning to tackle the 1-3 sector. Within a dec...

Long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments

Evidences for neutrino oscillations coming from atmospheric and solar observations can be probed by terrestrial long baseline experiments. This requires accelerator beams or nuclear power plants. The current status of these searches as well as future activities are discussed. A precise determination of all matrix elements and searches for a leptonic CP-violation will be possible with high inten...

Four-neutrino mixing and long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments

We consider the two schemes with four massive neutrinos which are compatible with the results of all neutrino oscillation experiments. We show that in these two schemes the probabilities of ν̄e disappearance and (−) νμ→ (−) νe appearance in long-baseline experiments are strongly suppressed. The investigation of neutrino properties, in particular of neutrino masses and mixing, is one of the most ...
