Probing the violation of equivalence principle at a muon storage ring via neutrino oscillation
نویسنده
چکیده
We examine the possible tests of violation of the gravitational equivalence principle (VEP) at a muon storage ring via neutrino oscillation experiments. If different neutrino flavours couple to the gravitational potential with different strength, flavour eigenstates are no longer the gravitational interaction eigenstates. This leads to the neutrino oscillation. If one starts with μ beam then appearance of τ, e and μ in the final state are the signals for neutrino oscillation. We have estimated the number of μ and τ events in this scenario in νμ(ν̄τ )−N deep inelastic scattering. Final state lepton energy distribution can be used to distinguish the VEP scenario from the others. A large area of VEP parameter space can be explored at a future muon storage ring facility with moderate beam energy.

CP and T violation in long baseline experiments with low energy neutrino from muon storage ring
Stimulated by the idea of PRISM, a very high intensity muon ring with rather low energy, we consider possibilities of observing CP-violation effects in neutrino oscillation experiments. More than 10% of CP-violation effect can be seen within the experimentally allowed region. Destructive sum of matter effect and CP-violation effect can be avoided with use of initial νe beam. We finally show tha...
متن کاملCP Violation with Three Oscillating Neutrino Flavours
We explore the prospects of observing leptonic CP violation in a neutrino factory in the context of a scenario with three strongly oscillating neutrinos able to account for the solar, the atmospheric and the LSND results. We address also the problems related with the fake asymmetries induced by the experimental device and by the presence of matter. [email protected] Scheck@dipmz...
متن کاملEmittance Measurement in MICE
A muon collider [1] may be the optimal way to study high-energy lepton-antilepton collisions, and a neutrino factory [2] based on a muon storage ring may be the ideal tool for the study of neutrino oscillation and the search for leptonic CP violation. Ionization cooling [3, 4], while not yet experimentally demonstrated, is essential for highluminosity muon colliders and has been shown by simula...
متن کاملSearch for CP Violation with a Neutrino Factory
We have discussed the search of the genuine CP violation in a neutrino factory, in which well known neutrino beams are provided by a high intensity muon storage ring. Both ∆P (να → νβ) and CP odd asymmetry ACP in neutrino oscillations are investigated by taking account of the atmospheric neutrino data and the solar neutrino data. If the large mixing angle MSW solution is taken, the magnitude of...
متن کاملSearch for T-violation in Neutrino Oscillation with the Use of Muon Polarization at a Neutrino Factory
A possibility to search for T-violation in neutrino oscillation with the use of muon polarization is studied. The sensitivity to T-violation is examined with different muon polarization as a function of muon energy and long-baseline distances.
