Sterile neutrino creating a reduced LSND effect
Although the hypothetic sterile neutrino νs is probably not involved significantly in the deficits of solar νe’s and atmospheric νμ’s, it may cause the possible LSND effect. In fact, we face such a situation, when the popular nearly bimaximal texture of active neutrinos νe , νμ , ντ is perturbed through a small rotation in the 14 plane, where ν4 is the extra neutrino mass state induced by the s...
متن کاملSterile neutrino decay and the LSND experiment
We propose a new explanation of the intriguing LSND evidence for electron antineutrino appearance in terms of heavy (mostly sterile) neutrino decay via a coupling with a light scalar and light (mostly active) neutrinos. We perform a fit to the LSND data, as well as all relevant null-result experiments, taking into account the distortion of the spectrum due to decay. By requiring a coupling g ∼ ...
متن کاملSeesaw Right Handed Neutrino as the Sterile Neutrino for LSND
Abstract We show that a double seesaw framework for neutrino masses with μ − τ exchange symmetry can lead to one of the righthanded seesaw partners of the light neutrinos being massless. This can play the role of a light sterile neutrino, giving a 3 + 1 model that explains the LSND results. We get a very economical scheme, which makes it possible to predict the full 4× 4 neutrino mass matrix if...
متن کاملSterile Neutrino as a Bulk Neutrino
If light sterile neutrinos are needed to understand the neutrino puzzles, as is currently indicated, a major theoretical challenge is to understand why its mass is so small. It is a more serious problem than understanding the small mass of the familiar neutrinos. We discuss a new way to solve this problem by identifying the sterile neutrino as gauge neutral fermion propagating in the bulk of a ...
متن کاملTesting LSND at long-baseline neutrino experiments
Recently it was suggested that two very different mass-squared differences play a role in atmospheric neutrino oscillations. The larger of these also accounts for the LSND result and the smaller of these also drives the solar neutrino oscillations. We consider the predictions of this scheme for long-baseline experiments. We find that high statistics experiments, such as MINOS, can observe a cle...
