Solar and Atmospheric Neutrinos in Super-Kamiokande
نویسنده
چکیده
The Super-Kamiokande (SK) water Cherenkov detector has been operating for nearly 12 years collecting data for the study of both solar and atmospheric neutrinos as well as searching for neutrinos from supernovæ(and relic supernovæ) and for nucleon decay. The experiment has undergone three operating phases during the full running period: SK-I (40% photocathode coverage), SK-II (20% coverage), and SK-III (40% coverage). Soon, the experiment will move into its fourth phase when the data acquisition electronics are upgraded in late 2008. Presented here are neutrino oscillation results from SK-I and SK-II solar and atmospheric data, and a preliminary look at data from SK-III. Also discussed briefly is the upcoming electronics upgrade that will carry the experiment into its fourth phase.

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...

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 کاملSuper Kamiokande results: atmospheric and solar neutrinos
Atmospheric neutrino and solar neutrino data from the first phase of Super-Kamiokande (SKI) are presented. The observed data are used to study atmospheric and solar neutrino oscillations. Zenith angle distributions from various atmospheric neutrino data samples are used to estimate the neutrino oscillation parameter region. In addition, a new result of the L/E measurement is presented. A dip in...

It is shown that only two four-neutrino schemes are compatible with the results of all neutrino oscillation experiments. These two schemes have a mass spectrum composed of two pairs of neutrinos with close masses separated by the “LSND gap” of the order of 1 eV.
