Weak and electromagnetic nuclear decay signatures for neutrino reactions in Super-Kamiokande.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We suggest the study of events in the Super-Kamiokande neutrino data due to charged- and neutral-current neutrino reactions followed by weak and/or electromagnetic decays of struck nuclei and fragments thereof. This study could improve the prospects of obtaining evidence for tau production from nu(mu)-->nu(tau) oscillations and could augment the data sample used to disfavor nu(mu)-->nu(sterile) oscillations.

Estimates of weak and electromagnetic nuclear decay signatures for neutrino reactions in Super-Kamiokande
We estimate possible delayed b decay signatures of the neutrino induced reactions on O in a two-step model: the primary neutrino (n ,l) process, where l is the lepton in the final state, is described within the random phase approximation, while the subsequent decay of the excited nuclear state in the final channel is treated within the statistical model. We calculate partial reaction cross sect...
متن کاملSuper-Kamiokande data and atmospheric neutrino decay
Neutrino decay has been proposed as a possible solution to the atmospheric neutrino anomaly, in the light of the recent data from the Super-Kamiokande experiment. We investigate this hypothesis by means of a quantitative analysis of the zenith angle distributions of neutrino events in Super-Kamiokande, including the latest (45 kTy) data. We find that the neutrino decay hypothesis fails to repro...

متن کاملNeutrino-oxygen Interactions: Role of Nuclear Physics in the Atmospheric Neutrino Anomaly
The apparent anomaly in the ratio of muon to electron atmospheric neutrinos first observed by Kamiokande and IMB has been confirmed by Super-Kamiokande and Soudan-2. The experimental analysis, including the asymmetry in the zenithal distributions of the μ− type events in Super-Kamiokande gives a strong support to the neutrino oscillation hypothesis to solve the anomaly. In this work we are inte...

In 2001, Bernstein, West and Gupta [i] described a possible campaign to monitor nuclear fission reactions over large distances using arrays of Super-Kamiokande (SuperK) type water Cherenkov detectors, modified to include neutron-capture elements such as gadolinium. This modification would allow sensitivity to reactor and other low energy antineutrinos through the inverse beta decay interaction....
