The Oscillation Length Resonance in the Transitions of Solar and Atmospheric Neu- trinos Crossing the Earth Core
نویسنده
چکیده
The characteristic features of the neutrino oscillation length resonance, taking place in the ν2 → νe and νμ → νe (νe → νμ(τ)) transitions in the Earth of the solar and atmospheric neutrinos crossing the Earth core, are reviewed. The resonance enhances dramatically these transitions at small mixing angles but differs from the MSW one. It can be responsible, e.g., for the small excess of e−like events at Zenith angles θz ∼ (130 − 180) and can produce at least part of the Zenith angle dependence of the rate of μ−like events, exhibited by the Super-Kamiokande atmospheric neutrino data.

New Enhancement Mechanism of the Transitions in the Earth of the Solar and Atmospheric Neutrinos Crossing the Earth Core
It is shown that the ν2 → νe and νμ → νe (νe → νμ(τ)) transitions respectively of the solar and atmospheric neutrinos in the Earth in the case of νe − νμ(τ) mixing in vacuum, are strongly enhanced by a new type of resonance when the neutrinos cross the Earth core. The resonance is operative at small mixing angles but differs from the MSW one. It is in many respects similar to the electron param...

It is shown that the strong enhancement of the Earth (day-night) effect for solar neutrinos crossing the Earth core in the case of the small mixing angle MSW νe → νμ(τ) transition solution of the solar neutrino problem is due to a new resonance effect in the solar neutrino transitions in the Earth and not just to the MSW effect in the core. The effect is in many respects similar to the electron...

We perform a systematic study of the enhancement of the transitions ν µ (ν e) → ν e (ν µ;τ), ν 2 → ν e , ¯ ν µ → ¯ ν s , ν e → ν s , etc. of neutrinos passing through a medium of nonperiodic density distribution, consisting of i) two layers of different constant densities (e.g., Earth core and mantle), or ii) three layers of constant density with the first and the third layers having identical ...
متن کاملParametric resonance of neutrino oscillations and passage of solar and atmospheric neutrinos through the earth
We present an exact analytic solution to the neutrino evolution equation in matter with periodic step-function density profile and discuss in detail the parametric resonance of neutrino oscillations that can occur in such a system. Solar and atmospheric neutrinos traversing the earth pass through layers of alternating density and can therefore experience parametric resonance of their oscillatio...

We study the possible manifestation of the interference between the effects produced in the atmospheric neu-trinos due to oscillation driven by the solar parameters parameters ∆m 2 21 , sin 2 2θ21 and due to oscillation driven by Ue3.
