Short-Baseline Neutrino Oscillations at a Neutrino Factory
نویسندگان
چکیده
Within the framework of three-neutrino and four-neutrino scenarios that can describe the results of the LSND experiment, we consider the capabilities of short baseline neutrino oscillation experiments at a neutrino factory. We find that, when short baseline (L ∼ 100 km) neutrino factory measurements are used together with other accelerator-based oscillation results, the complete three-neutrino parameter space can best be determined by measuring the rate of νe → ντ oscillations, and measuring CP violation with either νe → νμ or νμ → ντ oscillations (including the corresponding antineutrino channels). With measurements of CP violation in both νe → νμ and νμ → ντ it may be possible to distinguish between the threeand four-neutrino cases.

Four species neutrino oscillations at ν-Factory: sensitivity and CP-violation
The prospects of measuring the leptonic angles and CP-odd phases at a neutrino factory are discussed in the scenario of three active plus one sterile neutrino. We consider the νμ → νe LSND signal. Its associated large mass difference leads to observable neutrino oscillations at short (∼ 1 km) baseline experiments. Sensitivities to the leptonic angles down to 10 can be easily achieved with a 1 T...
متن کاملNeutrino Factories: Detector Concepts for studies of CP and T violation effects in neutrino oscillations
The ideal neutrino detector at the neutrino factory should have a mass in the range of 10 kton, provide particle identification to tag the flavor of the incoming neutrino, lepton charge measurement to select the incoming neutrino helicity, good energy resolution to reconstruct the incoming neutrino energy, and be isotropic to equally well reconstruct incoming neutrinos from different baselines ...
متن کاملNeutrino Oscillations at an Entry-Level Neutrino Factory and Beyond
We consider the parameters of an entry-level neutrino factory designed to make the first observation of νe → νμ oscillations, measure the corresponding amplitude sin 2θ13, and determine the sign of the atmospheric-scale δm 2 32 via matter effects. A 50 kt detector, a stored muon energy Eμ ≥ 20 GeV and 10 muon decays would enable these goals to be met provided sin 2θ13 > 0.01. The determination ...
متن کاملNeutrino oscillation physics with a neutrino factory
Data from atmospheric and solar neutrinos indicate that there are at least three neu-trino types involved in oscillation phenomena. Even if the corresponding neutrino mass scales are very different, the inevitable reference to mixing between more than two neutrino types has profound consequences on the planning of the accelerator experiments suggested by these results. We discuss the measuremen...
متن کاملR&D efforts towards a neutrino factory
The neutrino factory (νF ) is a muon storage ring where decaying muons produce collimated neutrino beams along its straight sections. Several νF designs have been proposed, such as the ones of references [1,2]: the CERN design is shown in Figure 1. A high intensity beam accelerated by a high power proton driver produces in a thin Hg target, after some accumulation and bunch compression, low ene...
