Neutrino Mass and Oscillations
The neutrino remains as exotic and challenging today as it was seventy years ago when first proposed by Pauli. What is known for certain about neutrinos is minimal indeed. They have spin 1 2 , charge 0, helicity -1, and exist in 3 flavors, electron, mu, and tau. Strictly speaking, only 2 flavors are certain: direct observation of the tau neutrino has not yet been achieved, but an experiment, DO...
متن کاملNeutrino Mass , Mixing and Oscillations
Neutrinos have been playing an important role in the evolution of our understanding of elementary particles and could have some signi cant impact on the evolution of the universe. We have strong motivations to search for non-zero neutrino mass both from theoretical and experimental aspects. Various observational data which are indicating the existence of neutrino mass and avor mixing are piling...
متن کاملSolar mass-varying neutrino oscillations.
We propose that the solar neutrino deficit may be due to oscillations of mass-varying neutrinos (MaVaNs). This scenario elucidates solar neutrino data beautifully while remaining comfortably compatible with atmospheric neutrino and K2K data and with reactor antineutrino data at short and long baselines (from CHOOZ and KamLAND). We find that the survival probability of solar MaVaNs is independen...
متن کاملAtmospheric 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 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 ...
