Solar and Reactor Neutrinos: Upcoming Experiments and Future Projects
نویسنده
چکیده
Sub-MeV solar neutrino experiments and long-baseline reactor oscillation experiments toe the cutting edge of neutrino research. The upcoming experiments KamLAND and BOREXINO, currently in their startup and final construction phase respectively, will provide essential information on neutrino properties as well as on solar physics. Future projects, at present under development, will measure the primary solar neutrino fluxes via electron scattering and neutrino capture in real time. High precision data for lepton mixing as well as for stellar evolution theory will become available in the future. This paper aims to give an overview of the upcoming experiments and of the projects under development.

Review of Solar and Reactor Neutrinos
Over the last several years, experiments have conclusively demonstrated that neutrinos are massive and that they mix. There is now direct evidence for νes from the Sun transforming into other active flavors while en route to the Earth. The disappearance of reactor ¯ νes, predicted under the assumption of neutrino oscillation, has also been observed. In this paper, recent results from solar and ...
متن کاملFISIST/1-2000/CFIF hep-ph/0001264 Neutrino physics ∗
In the present lectures the following topics are considered: general properties of neutrinos, neutrino mass phenomenology (Dirac and Majorana masses), neutrino masses in the simplest extensions of the standard model (including the seesaw mechanism), neutrino oscillations in vacuum, neutrino oscillations in matter (the MSW effect) in 2-and 3-flavour schemes, implications of CP, T and CPT symmetr...
متن کاملSolar Neutrino Oscillation Parameters in Experiments with Reactor Anti-Neutrinos
We review the current status of the solar neutrino oscillation parameters. We discuss the conditions under which measurements from future solar neutrino experiments would determine the oscillation parameters precisely. Finally we expound the potential of long baseline reactor anti-neutrino experiments in measuring the solar neutrino oscillation parameters.
متن کاملNeutrino Experiments
Recent studies of neutrino oscillations have established the existence of finite neutrino masses and mixing between generations of neutrinos [1]. The combined results from studies of atmospheric neutrinos, solar neutrinos, reactor antineutrinos and neutrinos produced at accelerators paint an intriguing picture that clearly requires modification of the standard model of particle physics. These r...
متن کاملSignals of CPT Violation and Non-Locality in Future Neutrino Oscillation Experiments
We investigate the sensitivities of future neutrino oscillation experiments for measuring the neutrino mass squared differences and leptonic mixing angles independently with neutrinos and anti-neutrinos. We update the expected sensitivities of Neutrino Factories to the “atmospheric” (anti-)neutrino parameters using an optimized setup. A dedicated β-Beam facility, in combination with a SPMIN rea...
