Cosmological neutrino mass detection: The best probe of neutrino lifetime
Future cosmological data may be sensitive to the effects of a finite neutrino mass even as small as the ∼0.05 eV lower limit guaranteed by neutrino oscillation experiments. We show that a cosmological detection of neutrino mass in agreement with expectations would improve by many orders of magnitude the existing limits on neutrino lifetime, and as a consequence on neutrino secret interactions w...
متن کاملNeutrino mass spectrum from the results of neutrino oscillation experiments
All the possible schemes of neutrino mixing with four massive neutrinos inspired by the existing experimental indications in favor of neutrino mixing are considered in a model independent way. Assuming that in short-baseline experiments only one mass-squared difference is relevant, it is shown that the scheme with a neutrino mass hierarchy is not compatible with the experimental results. Only t...

متن کاملIdentifying the neutrino mass spectrum from a supernova neutrino burst
We study the role that the future detection of the neutrino burst from a galactic supernova can play in the reconstruction of the neutrino mass spectrum. We consider all possible 3ν mass and flavor spectra which describe the solar and atmospheric neutrino data. For each of these spectra we find the observable effects of the supernova neutrino conversions both in the matter of the star and the e...
متن کاملUsing muons to probe for new physics
Searches for new physics using muons are reviewed. Particular attention is paid to muon number non-conserving processes, like the decay μ → eγ and muon–electron conversion in muonic atoms. Also, experimental determinations and theoretical predictions for the muon anomalous magnetic moment are reviewed. Muons were first observed in cosmic ray detectors in 1936 [1, 2]. However, for several follow...
