1 Multi - Megaton Water Cherenkov Detector for a Proton Decay
The discovery of the neutrino oscillations in 1998 revisited the interest of proton decay search [2]. The existence of the tiny neutrino mass indicates the existence of the large energy scale behind and suggests the connection between the small neutrino mass and proton decay. There are strong indications of the unification scale of O(10 16)GeV: the running coupling constants with super-symmetri...
متن کاملSe p 20 02 Identification problems of muon and electron events in the Super - Kamiokande detector
In the measurement of atmospheric ν e and ν µ fluxes, the calculations of the Super Kamiokande group for the distinction between muon-like and electron-like events observed in the wateř Cerenkov detector have initially assumed a mis-identification probability of less than 1 % and later 2 % for the sub-GeV range. In the multi-GeV range, they compared only the observed behaviors of ring patterns ...
متن کاملSolar Antineutrinos from Fluctuating Magnetic Fields at Kamiokande
We consider the effect of a strongly chaotic magnetic field at the narrow bottom of the convective zone of the Sun together with resonant matter oscillations on the production of electron Majorana antineutrinos. Even for moderate levels of noise, we show that it is possible to obtain a small but significant probability for ν e → ν e conversions (1-3%) at the energy range 2-10 MeV for large regi...
متن کاملSupernova Relic Neutrino Search with Neutron Tagging at Super-Kamiokande-IV
A search for Supernova Relic Neutrinos ν̄e’s is first conducted via inverse-beta-decay by tagging neutron capture on hydrogen at Super-Kamiokande-IV. The neutron tagging efficiency is determined to be (17.74 ± 0.04stat. ± 1.05sys.)%, while the corresponding accidental background probability is (1.06 ± 0.01stat. ± 0.18sys.)%. Using 960 days of data, we obtain 13 inverse-beta-decay candidates in t...
متن کاملCurrent Status of Nucleon Decay Searches with Super-Kamiokande
In the Standard Model it is assumed that the proton is completely stable because there are no lighter products to which the proton could decay without violating baryon number conservation. However, the requirement for an interaction to conserve baryon number is not backed up by any symmetry in the Standard Model. If baryon number conservation is an incorrect assumption, then there are avenues f...
