Atmospheric Neutrino Oscillations, θ13 and Neutrino Mass Hierarchy
We derive predictions for the Nadir angle (θn) dependence of the ratio Nμ/Ne of the rates of the μ−like and e−like multi-GeV events measured in water-Čerenkov detectors in the case of 3-neutrino oscillations of the atmospheric νe (ν̄e) and νμ (ν̄μ), driven by one neutrino mass squared difference, |∆m31| ∼ (2.5− 3.0)× 10−3 eV2 ≫ ∆m21. This ratio is particularly sensitive to the Earth matter effect...
متن کاملOn the Atmospheric Neutrino Oscillations, θ13 and Neutrino Mass Hierarchy
We give predictions for the up-down asymmetry in the Nadir angle dependence of the ratio Nμ/Ne of the rates of the μ−like and e−like multi-GeV events measured in water-Čerenkov detectors (Super-Kamiokande, etc.) in the case of 3-neutrino oscillations of the atmospheric νe (ν̄e) and νμ (ν̄μ), driven by one neutrino mass squared difference, |∆matm | ≡ |∆m 2 31| ∼ (2.0 − 3.0) × 10 −3 eV2 ≫ ∆m21 ≡ ∆m...
متن کاملThree-Neutrino Oscillations of Atmospheric Neutrinos, θ13, Neutrino Mass Hierarchy and Iron Magnetized Detectors
We derive predictions for the Nadir angle (θn) dependence of the ratio Nμ−/Nμ+ of the rates of the μ− and μ+ multi-GeV events, and for the μ−−μ+ event rate asymmetry, Aμ−μ+ = [N(μ −)−N(μ+)]/[N(μ−)+N(μ+)], in iron-magnetized calorimeter detectors (MINOS, INO, etc.) in the case of 3-neutrino oscillations of the atmospheric νμ and ν̄μ, driven by one neutrino mass squared difference, |∆m31| ∼ (2.0−3...
متن کاملAtmospheric Neutrino Oscillations with Three Neutrinos and a Mass Hierarchy
A comprehensive formalism for the description of neutrino oscillations in the Earth in a general scheme with three massive neutrinos and the mass hierarchy m1 ≪ m2 ≪ m3 is presented. Using this formalism, which is valid both in vacuum and in a medium, the matter effect on the oscillations of low-energy neutrinos is discussed, pointing out the existence of very long oscillations which are indepe...
متن کاملLepton Mass Hierarchy and Neutrino Oscillations
Starting from the symmetry of lepton flavor democracy, we propose and discuss a simple pattern for the mass generation and flavor mixing of the charged leptons and neutrinos. The three neutrino masses are nearly degenerate, and the flavor mixing angles can be calculated. The observed deficit of solar and atmospheric neutrinos can be interpreted as a consequence of the near degeneracy and large ...
