Implications of Solar and Atmospheric Neutrinos
نویسنده
چکیده
The importance of non-zero neutrino mass as a probe of particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology is emphasized. The present status and future prospects for the solar and atmospheric neutrinos are reviewed, and the implications for neutrino mass and mixing in 2, 3, and 4-neutrino schemes are discussed. The possibilities for significant mixing between ordinary and light sterile neutrinos are described.

Implications of CHOOZ results for the decoupling of solar and atmospheric neutrino oscillations
We have considered the results of solar and atmospheric neutrino oscillation experiments in the scheme of mixing of three neutrinos with a mass hierarchy. It is shown that the recent results of the CHOOZ experiment imply that |Ue3| ≪ 1 (U is the neutrino mixing matrix), that the oscillations of solar neutrinos are described by the two-generation formalism and that the oscillations of solar and ...
متن کاملNeutrino Masses and Mixing: Evidence and Implications
Measurements of various features of the fluxes of atmospheric and solar neutrinos have provided evidence for neutrino oscillations and therefore for neutrino masses and mixing. We review the phenomenology of neutrino oscillations in vacuum and in matter. We present the existing evidence from solar and atmospheric neutrinos as well as the results from laboratory searches, including the final sta...
متن کاملNew Enhancement Mechanism of the Transitions in the Earth of the Solar and Atmospheric Neutrinos Crossing the Earth Core
It is shown that the ν2 → νe and νμ → νe (νe → νμ(τ)) transitions respectively of the solar and atmospheric neutrinos in the Earth in the case of νe − νμ(τ) mixing in vacuum, are strongly enhanced by a new type of resonance when the neutrinos cross the Earth core. The resonance is operative at small mixing angles but differs from the MSW one. It is in many respects similar to the electron param...
متن کاملNEUTRINOS, GRAND UNIFICATION and LEPTOGENESIS∗
Data on solar and atmospheric neutrinos provide evidence for neutrino masses and mixings. We review some basic neutrino properties, the status of neutrino oscillations and implications for grand unified theories, including leptogenesis. ∗Lectures given at the 2001 European School of High-Energy Physics, Beatenberg, Switzerland
متن کاملImplications of the Sno and the Homestake Results for the Borexino Experiment
Using the recent result of the SNO solar neutrino experiment, we have demonstrated in a model independent way that the contribution of Be and other medium energy neutrinos to the event rate of the Homestake experiment is 4σ smaller than the BP2000 SSM prediction. We have considered the implications of this result for the future BOREXINO experiment. The recently published first data of the SNO e...
