Neutrino Properties from Measurements using Astrophysical and Terrestrial Sources
نویسنده
چکیده
The current knowledge of neutrino properties has been derived from measurements performed with both astrophysical and terrestrial sources. Observations of neutrino flavor change have been made with neutrinos generated in the solar core, through cosmic ray interactions in the atmosphere and in nuclear reactors. A summary is presented of the current knowledge of neutrino properties and a description is provided for future measurements that could provide more complete information on neutrino properties.

How astrophysical neutrino sources could be used for early measurements of neutrino mass hierarchy and leptonic CP phase
We discuss the possible impact of astrophysical neutrino flux measurements at neutrino telescopes on the neutrino oscillation program of reactor experiments and neutrino beams. We consider neutrino fluxes from neutron sources, muon damped sources, and pion sources, where we parameterize the input from these sources in terms of the flux ratio R = φμ/(φe+ φτ ) which can be extracted from the muon...
متن کاملNeutrino Observatories Can Characterize Cosmic Sources and Neutrino Properties
Neutrino telescopes that measure relative fluxes of ultrahigh-energy νe, νμ, ντ can give information about the location and characteristics of sources, about neutrino mixing, and can test for neutrino instability and for departures from CPT invariance in the neutrino sector. We investigate consequences of neutrino mixing for the neutrino flux arriving at Earth, and consider how terrestrial meas...
متن کاملNeutrino Flavor Goniometry by High Energy Astrophysical Beams
It is shown how high energy neutrino beams from very distant sources can be utilized to learn about many properties of neutrinos such as lifetimes, mass hierarchy, mixing, minuscule pseudo-Dirac mass splittings and other exotic properties; in addition, the production mechanism of neutrinos in astrophysical sources can also be elucidated.
متن کاملBest-Bet Astrophysical Neutrino Sources
Likely astrophysical sources of detectable high-energy (>> TeV) neutrinos are considered. Based on gamma-ray emission properties, the most probable sources of neutrinos are argued to be GRBs, blazars, microquasars, and supernova remnants. Diffuse neutrino sources are also briefly considered.
متن کاملTesting neutrino flavor mixing plus decay with neutrino telescopes
We discuss the interplay of neutrino oscillation and decay properties at neutrino telescopes. Motivated by recent unparticle scenarios, which open the possibility of new neutrino decay modes over astrophysical distances, we perform a complete classification of possible decay schemes, and we illustrate how different scenarios can be identified. Moreover, we show that the sensitivity of neutrino ...
