چکیده

New low-cost, high-power proton cyclotrons open the opportunity for a novel precision search for CP violation in the light neutrino sector. The accelerators can produce decay-at-rest neutrino beams located at multiple distances from a Gd-doped ultralarge water Cherenkov detector in order to search for CP violation in nu(mu)-->nu(e) oscillations at short baselines. This new type of search complements presently proposed experiments, providing measurements that could lead to a substantially better exploration of CP violation in the neutrino sector.

Long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments and CP violation in the lepton sector

We discuss possibilities to investigate the effects of CP (and T) violation in the lepton sector in neutrino oscillation experiments. We consider the effects of CP violation in the framework of two schemes of mixing of four massive neutrinos that can accommodate the results of all neutrino oscillation experiments. Using the constraints on the mixing parameters that follow from the results of sh...

CP violation in neutrino mixing matrix and leptogenesis

The CP violation required in leptogenesis may have different origin, but in an effective theory they all are related to the rephasing invariant CP violating measure in the mixing matrix of the leptonic sector. We point out that the maximum amount of CP violation in some models can be estimated with our present knowledge of the neutrino mixing angles, which can help us understand the CP violatio...

Maximal Neutrino Mixing and Maximal CP Violation

We propose a phenomenological model of lepton mixing and CP violation based on the flavor democracy of charge leptons and the mass degeneracy of neutrinos. A nearly bi-maximal flavor mixing pattern, which is favored by current data on atmospheric and solar neutrino oscillations, emerges naturally from this model after explicit symmetry breaking. The rephasing-invariant strength of CP or T viola...

Measurement of three-family neutrino mixing and search for CP violation

The measurements of the parameters of the neutrino mixing matrix in the present and future neutrino oscillation experiments at accelerators are presented. The perspectives for high intensity new neutrino facilities as SuperBeams, BetaBeams and Neutrino Factories devoted to precise measurements subleading numu to nue oscillation parameters at the atmospheric scale are discussed. Emphasis is on t...

CP Violation in the lepton sector

By using an exact method to impose unitarity on the neutrino data we show that around the central values of the moduli of the PMNS matrix there is a continuous approximate unitary set of matrices, all of them being consistent with a maximal CP violation in the lepton sector, i.e. δ ≈ 90◦, over a wide range for Ve3 values.
