A novel kind of neutrino oscillation experiment
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel method to look for neutrino oscillations is proposed based on the elastic scattering process ν̄ie − → ν̄ie−, taking advantage of the dynamical zero present in the differential cross section for ν̄ee − → ν̄ee−. An effective tunable experiment between the ”appearance” and ”disappearance” limits is made possible. Prospects to exclude the allowed region for atmospheric neutrino oscillations are given.

We review the status of the solutions to neutrino anomalies by flavor-changing as well as flavor-diagonal neutrino interactions. While it is difficult to explain the atmospheric neutrino data the solar neutrino data can be well accounted for by the massless neutrino oscillation induced by such non-standard neutrino interactions. We also discuss the possibility to test such kind of interactions ...

متن کاملNeutrino Oscillation Results from MINOS and MiniBooNE
After a brief introduction to neutrino oscillations and a review of the world knowledge of neutrino oscillation parameters, we introduce two current neutrino oscillation experiments, MINOS and MiniBooNE. MINOS makes precise measurements of the oscillation parameters |∆m 32 |and sin(2θ23). MiniBooNE tests neutrino oscillations in the parameter region reported by the LSND experiment, which would ...
متن کاملNeutrino Mixing : from the Broken μ - τ Symmetry to the Broken Friedberg - Lee Symmetry
I argue that the observed flavor structures of leptons and quarks might imply the existence of certain flavor symmetries. The latter should be a good starting point to build realistic models towards deeper understanding of the fermion mass spectra and flavor mixing patterns. The µ-τ permutation symmetry serves for such an example to interpret the almost maximal atmospheric neutrino mixing angle...
متن کاملK2k (kek to Kamioka) Neutrino-oscillation Experiment at Kek-ps * )
In recent years, several underground neutrino observatories 1) 3) have reported that the atmospheric neutrino ratio, R ≡ (νμ + ν̄μ)/(νe + ν̄e), is significantly smaller than the theoretical expectations. This “atmospheric neutrino anomaly” can be explained by a neutrino oscillation hypothesis with an oscillation parameter region of ∆m2 ∼ 10−2eV2 and sin 2θ ∼ 1. The atmospheric neutrino anomaly ha...
