Geophysical aspects of very long baseline neutrino experiments
Several proposed experiments will send beams of neutrinos through the Earth along paths with a source-receiver distance of hundreds or thousands of kilometers. Knowledge of the physical properties of the medium traversed by these beams, in particular the density, will be necessary in order to properly interpret the experimental data. Present geophysical knowledge allows the average density alon...
متن کاملTesting Matter Effects in Very Long Baseline Neutrino Oscillation Experiments∗
Assuming three-neutrino mixing, we study the capabilities of very long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments to verify and test the MSW effect and to measure the lepton mixing angle θ13. We suppose that intense neutrino and antineutrino beams will become available in so–called neutrino factories. We find that the most promising and statistically significant results can be obtained by studyi...
متن کاملLong 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...
متن کاملLong 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...
متن کاملPhenomenology of future long-baseline neutrino experiments
I review some basic ideas behind possible future long-baseline neutrino experiments to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy and uncover leptonic CP violation. With emphasis of “large θ13” hypothesis I try to illuminate the principles of the conventional method for resolving the mass hierarchy by using the earth matter effect, and for detecting CP violation as a vacuum effect. They include the ...
