Status of Neutrino Fits

چکیده

The last five years have been extraordinary for neutrino physics, with the Super-Kamiokande evidence of atmospheric neutrino oscillations1, the SNO evidence of solar neutrino oscillations2,3, the KamLAND 4 and K2K 5 confirmations of these evidences with neutrinos from controlled laboratory sources. As a result of the findings of these and other important experiments, a scenario of bilarge mixing of three neutrinos has emerged as favored by the data. In this review I briefly summarize the results of solar, KamLAND, atmospheric and K2K neutrino experiments in Sections 2 and 3 and their interpretation in terms of two-neutrino oscillations. In Section 4 I describe the three-neutrino mixing schemes favored by neutrino oscillation data and I discuss the open problem of the determination of the absolute neutrino mass scale, including the recent stringent limit6 from cosmological data. Conclusions are drawn in Section 5.

Status of global fits to neutrino oscillations

We review the present status of global analyses of neutrino oscillations, taking into account the most recent neutrino data including the latest KamLAND and K2K updates presented at Neutrino2004, as well as state-of-the-art solar and atmospheric neutrino flux calculations. We give the two-neutrino solar + KamLAND results, and the two-neutrino atmospheric + K2K oscillation regions, discussing in...

The Neutrino Magnetic Moment and Time Variations of the Solar Neutrino Flux

The present status of the neutrino magnetic moment solutions of the solar neutrino problem is summarized. After a brief review of the basics of the neutrino spin and spin–flavor precession I discuss the experimental data and show how the neutrino resonant spin–flavor precession (RSFP) mechanism can naturally account for sizeable time variations in the Homestake signal and no observable time var...

SN 1987 A and the Status of Oscillation Solutions to the Solar Neutrino Problem

We study neutrino oscillations and the level-crossing probability P LSZ in power-law potential profiles A(r) ∝ r n. We give local and global adia-baticity conditions valid for all mixing angles ϑ and discuss different representations for P LSZ. For the 1/r 3 profile typical of supernova envelopes we compare our analytical to numerical results and to earlier approximations used in the literature...

Status of Trimaximal Neutrino Mixing

Trimaximal mixing is the mixing hypothesis with maximal symmetry. In trimaximal mixing there remains a still worrying conflict between the large values of ∆m preferred by the atmospheric fits (possibly supported by the early K2K data) and reactor limits on νe-mixing. However, the latest solar results do seem to point to energy-independent (ie. ‘no-scale’) solar solutions, like the trimaximal so...

Global Three-neutrino Vacuum Oscillation Fits to the Solar and Atmospheric Anomalies

We determine the three-neutrino mixing and mass parameters that are allowed by the solar and atmospheric neutrino data when vacuum oscillations are responsible for both phenomena. The global fit does not appreciably change the allowed regions for the parameters obtained from effective twoneutrino fits. We discuss how measurements of the solar electron energy spectrum below 6.5 GeV in Super-Kami...
