Lepton mixing matrix in standard model extended by one sterile neutrino
We consider the simplest extension of the standard electroweak model by one sterile neutrino that allows for neutrino masses and mixing. We find that its leptonic sector contains much less free physical parameters than previously realized. In addition to the two neutrino masses, the lepton mixing matrix in charged current interactions involves (n−1) free physical mixing angles for n generations...

متن کاملExperimental studies of neutral current pion production at low energy
The unknown neutrino mixing angle θ13 is one of the most important goals in current neutrino experiments. For the next generation of long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments, T2K and NOvA, the precise measurement of neutrino-nucleus cross sections in the few GeV energy range is an essential ingredient in the interpretation of neutrino oscillation signals. Neutral current neutral-pion prod...
متن کاملFour–neutrino Oscillations at SNO
We discuss the potential of the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) to constraint the four–neutrino mixing schemes favoured by the results of all neutrino oscillations experiments. These schemes allow simultaneous transitions of solar ν ′ es into active νμ’s, ντ ’s and sterile νs controlled by the additional parameter cos(θ23) cos(θ24) and they contain as limiting cases the pure νe–active and νe...
متن کاملLimits on active-sterile neutrino mixing and the primordial deuterium abundance.
Studies of limits on active-sterile neutrino mixing derived from big bang nucleosynthesis considerations are extended to consider the dependance of these constraints on the primordial deuterium abundance. This study is motivated by recent measurements of D/H in quasar absorption systems, which at present yield discordant results. Limits on active-sterile mixing are somewhat relaxed for high D/H...
متن کاملActive to sterile neutrino mixing limits from neutral-current interactions in MINOS.
Results are reported from a search for active to sterile neutrino oscillations in the MINOS long-baseline experiment, based on the observation of neutral-current neutrino interactions, from an exposure to the NuMI neutrino beam of 7.07×10(20) protons on target. A total of 802 neutral-current event candidates is observed in the Far Detector, compared to an expected number of 754 ± 28(stat) ± 37(...
