Constraints on Neutrino Mixing Parameters with the SNO data
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper reviews the constraints imposed on the solar neutrino mixing parameters by data collected by the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO). The SNO multivariate analysis is reviewed. The global solar neutrino analysis is emphasized in terms of matter-enhanced oscillation of two active flavors. An outline of how SNO uses the data to produce oscillation contour plots and how to include the relevant correlations for the new salt data in similar oscillation analyses is summarized.

Constraints on neutrino oscillation parameters from the SNO salt phase data
The physics implications of the just published salt phase data from the SNO experiment are examined. The effect of these data on the allowed ranges of the solar neutrino oscillation parameters, ∆m21 and sin 2 θ12, are studied in the cases of twoand threeneutrino mixing. In the latter case we derive an upper limit on the angle θ13. Constraints on the solar νe transitions into a mixture of active...
متن کاملResults from the Salt Phase of Sno
The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) has recently completed an analysis of data from the salt phase of the experiment, in which NaCl was added to the heavy-water neutrino target to enhance sensitivity to solar neutrinos. Results from the 391-day salt data set are summarized, including the measured solar neutrino fluxes, the electron energy spectrum from charged current interactions, and the d...
متن کاملNeutrino Experiments and Their Implications
Solar neutrino experiments, especially with the announcement of recent results from the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) , have reached the precision stage. An analysis of the data from SNO as well as data from other solar neutrino experiments (Super-Kamiokande [SK] , Chlorine , and Gallium ), combined with the data from the reactor experiment KAMLAND , place severe constraints on the neutrin...
متن کاملDetermination of Solar Neutrino Oscillation Parameters using 1496 Days of Super-Kamiokande-I Data
A number of different fits to solar neutrino mixing and mass square difference were performed using 1496 days of Super-Kamiokande-I’s solar neutrino data. These data select two allowed areas at large neutrino mixing when combined with either the solar B flux prediction of the standard solar model or the SNO interaction rate measurements. A global fit combining SK data with the solar neutrino in...
متن کاملDetermination of Neutrino mixing parameters after SNO oscillation evidence
An updated analysis of all available neutrino oscillation evidence in Solar experiments (SK day and night spectra, global rates from Homestake, SAGE and GALLEX) including the latest SNOCC and NC data is presented. Assuming that the shape of the SNO CC energy spectrum is undistorted and using the information provided by SNO we obtain, for the fraction of electron neutrinos remaining in the solar...
