Golden and Silver Channels at the Neutrino Factory
نویسنده
چکیده
I briefly review the source of the so-called intrinsic ambiguity and show how the combination of “golden” and “silver” channel at the Neutrino Factory can solve the problem, in the absence of other sources of degeneracies. I then relaxed the hypothesis θ23 = 45◦ and show how the different dependence of the two channels on θ23 can help in solving the intrinsic and θ23-octant ambiguity at the same time.

Neutrino factory optimization for non-standard interactions
We study the optimization of a neutrino factory with respect to non-standard neutral current neutrino interactions, and compare the results to those obtained without non-standard interactions. We discuss the muon energy, baselines, and oscillation channels as degrees of freedom. Our conclusions are based on both analytical calculations and on a full numerical simulation of the neutrino factory ...
متن کاملOptimization of a neutrino factory oscillation experiment
We discuss the optimization of a neutrino factory experiment for neutrino oscillation physics in terms of muon energy, baselines, and oscillation channels (gold, silver, platinum). In addition, we study the impact and requirements for detector technology improvements, and we compare the results to beta beams. We find that the optimized neutrino factory has two baselines, one at about 3 000 to 5...
متن کاملThe synergy of the golden and silver channels at the Neutrino Factory
We deepen the study of the so-called “silver channel” νe → ντ [1] and of its relevance to solve some of the ambiguities that can arise in the simultaneous measurement of (θ13, δ) at the Neutrino Factory by presenting in full detail the characteristics of the considered OPERA-like detector and the experimental treatment of the different backgrounds and signals. Furthermore, we perform a detailed...
متن کاملν μ disappearance at the SPL , T 2 K - I , NO ν A and the Neutrino Factory
We study the measurement of the atmospheric neutrino oscillation parameters, θ 23 and ∆m 2 23 , at the ν µ disappearance channel at three conventional beam facilities, the SPL, T2K-phase I and NOνA. These two parameters have been shown to be of crucial importance in the measurement of two of the unknowns of the PMNS mixing matrix, θ 13 and the leptonic CP-violating phase δ. In our analyis, the ...
