Atmospheric Neutrino Tests of Neutrino Oscillation Mechanisms
نویسندگان
چکیده
Recent Super-Kamiokande data on the atmospheric neutrino anomaly are used to test various mechanisms for neutrino oscillations. It is found that the current atmospheric neutrino data alone cannot rule out any particular mechanism. Future long-baseline experiments should play an important role in identifying the underlying neutrino oscillation mechanism.

Progress in the understanding of neutrino properties
I briefly summarize neutrino oscillation results and discuss their robustness. I mention recent attempts to understand the pattern of neutrino mixing within various seesaw mechanisms, with or without supersymmetry and/or flavor symmetries. I also mention the possibility of intrinsic supersymmetric neutrino masses in the context of broken R parity models, showing how this leads to clear tests at...
متن کاملBounds and Implications of Neutrino Magnetic Moments from Atmospheric Neutrino Data
The neutral current effects of the future high statistics atmospheric neutrino data can be used to distinguish the mechanisms between a νμ oscillation to a tau neutrino or to a sterile neutrino. However, if neutrinos possess large diagonal and/or transition magnetic moments, the neutrino magnetic moments can contribute to the neutral current effects which can be studied by the single π0 product...
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...
متن کاملLimit on Non-Standard Interactions from the atmospheric neutrino data
We searched for non-standard neutrino interaction with the whole atmospheric neutrino data in Super-Kamiokande I and II. Neutrino oscillations in atmospheric neutrinos as well as that in the solar and reacter neutrinos play a very important role in particle physics because they present the evedence for physics beyond the standard model. Focussing on the existing atmospheric neutrino data, they ...
متن کاملAtmospheric Neutrino Oscillations among Three Neutrino Flavors and Long-baseline Experiments
Anticipating future long-baseline neutrino experiments to search for neutrino oscillations in various oscillation channels, we have analyzed the atmospheric neutrino data in the framework of a model with mixing of three massive neutrino fields that can accommodate the data of solar neutrino experiments. The oscillations of atmospheric and terrestrial neutrinos are described in this model by thr...
