Solar Neutrinos with Super-Kamiokande
نویسنده
چکیده
The discrepancy of the measured solar neutrino ux compared to the predictions of the standard solar model may be explained by the neutrino avor oscillation hypothesis. A more direct and less model-dependent test of this hypothesis is a measurement of the distortion of the shape of the solar neutrino energy spectrum. Super-Kamiokande studies the energy spectrum of recoil electrons from solar neutrino scattering in water above 5.5 MeV.

Results from Super-kamiokande
The results from Super-Kamiokande on atmospheric neutrinos and solar neutrinos are presented. The contained event analysis of atmospheric neutrinos shows a small value of p/e ratio and a large asymmetry in the zenith angle distribution. A distortion of zenith angle distribution is observed in the upward-through-going muons resulting from atmospheric neutrino interactions in the rock surrounding...
متن کاملStatus of the MSW Solutions to the Solar Neutrino Problem
In this talk we present the results of an updated global analysis of two-flavor MSW solutions [1] to the solar neutrino problem in terms of conversions of νe into active or sterile neutrinos including the the full data set corresponding to the 825-day Super–Kamiokande data sample as well as to Chlorine, GALLEX and SAGE experiments. the events. It is already three decades since the first detecti...
متن کاملResults on Neutrino Oscillations from 400 Days of Super-kamiokande Data
The Super-Kamiokande experiment, using the world's largest underground water Cherenkov detector, has been running since April 1, 1996. The total live time for the analysis has reached more than 350 days. The latest results on atmospheric neutrinos, solar neutrinos, and related topics are reported. c 1997 by Yoshitaka Itow.
متن کاملThe Solar Neutrino Day/Night Effect in Super-Kamiokande
The time variation of the elastic scattering rate of solar neutrinos with electrons in Super-Kamiokande-I was fit to the day/night variations expected from active two-neutrino oscillations in the Large Mixing Angle region. Combining Super-Kamiokande measurements with other solar and reactor neutrino data, the mixing angle is determined as sin θ = 0.276 −0.026 and the mass squared difference bet...
متن کاملAstroparticle physics with solar neutrinos
Solar neutrino experiments observed fluxes smaller than the expectations from the standard solar model. This discrepancy is known as the "solar neutrino problem". Flux measurements by Super-Kamiokande and SNO have demonstrated that the solar neutrino problem is due to neutrino oscillations. Combining the results of all solar neutrino experiments, parameters for solar neutrino oscillations are o...
