Super Kamiokande results: atmospheric and solar neutrinos
Atmospheric neutrino and solar neutrino data from the first phase of Super-Kamiokande (SKI) are presented. The observed data are used to study atmospheric and solar neutrino oscillations. Zenith angle distributions from various atmospheric neutrino data samples are used to estimate the neutrino oscillation parameter region. In addition, a new result of the L/E measurement is presented. A dip in...
متن کاملThe Solar Neutrino Day/Night Effect in Super-Kamiokande
The time variation of the elastic scattering rate of solar neutrinos with electrons in Super-Kamiokande-I was fit to the day/night variations expected from active two-neutrino oscillations in the Large Mixing Angle region. Combining Super-Kamiokande measurements with other solar and reactor neutrino data, the mixing angle is determined as sin θ = 0.276 −0.026 and the mass squared difference bet...
متن کاملSeasonal Dependence in the Solar Neutrino Flux
MSW solutions of the solar neutrino problem predict a seasonal dependence of the zenith angle distribution of the event rates, due to the non-zero latitude at the Super-Kamiokande site. We calculate this seasonal dependence and compare it with the expectations in the no-oscillation case as well as just-so scenario, in the light of the latest Super-Kamiokande 708-day data. The seasonal dependenc...
متن کاملSolar Neutrino Physics with Super-Kamiokande
Precise studies of solar B neutrinos provided the first evidence that the deficit in the solar neutrino flux observed by various detectors compared to the predictions of solar models is caused by flavor oscillations of solar neutrinos and also determined the oscillation parameters. These parameters predict a transition at around 3 Mev between the vacuum oscillations of low energy to the matter-...
متن کاملResults from Super-kamiokande
The results from Super-Kamiokande on atmospheric neutrinos and solar neutrinos are presented. The contained event analysis of atmospheric neutrinos shows a small value of p/e ratio and a large asymmetry in the zenith angle distribution. A distortion of zenith angle distribution is observed in the upward-through-going muons resulting from atmospheric neutrino interactions in the rock surrounding...

We calculate accurately the number of solar neutrino events expected as a function of solar zenith angle, with and without neutrino oscillations, for detectors at the locations of Super-Kamiokande, SNO, and the Gran Sasso National Laboratory. Using different earth models to estimate geophysical uncertainties, and different solar models to estimate solar uncertainties, we evaluate distortions pr...
