چکیده
We discuss oscillations of atmospheric and solar neutrinos into sterile neutrinos in the 2+2 scheme. A zero order sum rule requires equal probabilities for oscillation into νs and ντ in the solar+atmospheric data sample. Data does not favor this claim. Here we use scatter plots to assess corrections of the zero order sum rule when (i) the 4× 4 neutrino mixing matrix assumes its full range of allowed values, and (ii) matter effects are included. We also introduce a related ”product rule”. We find that the sum rule is significantly relaxed, due to both the inclusion of the small mixing angles (which provide a short-baseline contribution) and to matter effects. The product rule is also dramatically altered. The observed relaxation of the sum rule weakens the case against the 2+2 model and the sterile neutrino. To invalidate the 2+2 model, a global fit to data with the small mixing angles included seems to be required. E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] 1

We report on dispersive and finite energy sum rule analyses of the electroweak penguin matrix elements (ππ)2|Q7,8|K 0 in the chiral limit. We accomplish the correct perturbative matching (scale and scheme dependence) at NLO in αs, and we describe two different strategies for numerical evaluation.

The observation of atmospheric neutrinos (See, e.g., Ref.[1]) and solar neutrinos (See, e.g., Ref.[2, 3]) gives the information on the mass squared differences and the mixings, which can be written in the three flavor framework of neutrino oscillations as (|∆m32|, θ23) and (∆m21, θ12), where I have adopted the standard parametrization [4] for the 3× 3 MNSP [5, 6] matrix. On the other hand, the ...
