Sterile Neutrino Searches with Precision Measurements at Very Short Baselines

Neutrino Beams and Baselines

Sensitivities to neutrino oscillation parameters for possible very long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments are discussed. The reach for observing a non-zero mixing angle θ13, establishing CP violation and determining the mass hierarchy are compared between various experimental options. Different possibilities for neutrino beams are briefly described, as well as the assumptions about the ...

Search for Oscillations of Reactor Antineutrinos at Very Short Baselines

Anomalous results from a variety of neutrino experiments, astrophysical observations, and cosmology suggest the possible existence of sterile neutrinos. Most recently, a re-analysis of short-baseline reactor neutrino experiments has revealed a discrepancy between observations and the predicted antineutrino flux. While the spectral shape and uncertainties obtained in this work are comparable to ...

Short-Baseline Neutrino Oscillations at a Neutrino Factory

Within the framework of three-neutrino and four-neutrino scenarios that can describe the results of the LSND experiment, we consider the capabilities of short baseline neutrino oscillation experiments at a neutrino factory. We find that, when short baseline (L ∼ 100 km) neutrino factory measurements are used together with other accelerator-based oscillation results, the complete three-neutrino ...

Short-Baseline Electron Neutrino Disappearance at a Neutrino Factory

We discuss short-baseline and very-short-baseline νe and ν̄e disappearance at a neutrino factory. We take into account geometric effects, such as from averaging over the decay straights, and the uncertainties of the cross sections. We follow an approach similar to reactor experiments with two detectors: we use two sets of near detectors at different distances to cancel systematics. We demonstrat...
