Alternating ions in a β-beam to solve degeneracies

نویسنده

چکیده

We study how the eightfold-degeneracy in the (θ13, δ) plane observed in γ ∼ 100 β-beams can be reduced by periodically changing the ions in the storage ring. This “ions cocktail” allows to change the neutrino energy, at fixed γ, by choosing ions with different decay energies. We propose to combine the standard He and Ne beams with Li and B ones. These latter two ions have peaked νe → νμ oscillation probabilities for γ = 100 at a baseline L ∼ 700 Km. At this distance and this γ the oscillation probability of He and Ne neutrinos is at its second maximum. This setup is particularly suited for large enough values of θ13 (within reach at T2K-I) and it allows solving most of the eightfold-degeneracy, measuring θ13, δ and the sign of the atmospheric mass difference for values of θ13 ≥ 5 ◦.

Degeneracies at a β-Beam and a Super-Beam Facility

The presence of degeneracies can considerably worsen the measure of the neutrino oscillation parameters θ13 and δ. We study the physics reach of a specific “CERN” setup, using a standard β-Beam and Super-Beam facility. These facilities have a similar sensitivity in both parameters. Their combination does not provide any dramatic improvement as expected due to their almost identical L/E ratio. W...

Resolving Eight-Fold Neutrino Parameter Degeneracy by Two Identical Detectors with Different Baselines

Abstract We have shown in a previous paper that two identical detectors with each fiducial mass of 0.27 megaton water, one in Kamioka and the other in Korea, which receive the (anti-) muon neutrino beam of 4 MW power from J-PARC facility have potential of determining the neutrino mass hierarchy and discovering CP violation by resolving the degeneracies associated with them. In this paper, we po...

A Projected Alternating Least square Approach for Computation of Nonnegative Matrix Factorization

Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) is a common method in data mining that have been used in different applications as a dimension reduction, classification or clustering method. Methods in alternating least square (ALS) approach usually used to solve this non-convex minimization problem.  At each step of ALS algorithms two convex least square problems should be solved, which causes high com...

Application of Electron Beam/MnII Process for Humic Acid Removal from Aqueous Solutions

Introduction: Natural organic matters (NOMs) existing in water resources led to various problems such as formation of disinfectant by-products (DBPs). Humic matters like humic acid (HA) are component of NOMs that should be removed from water. Advanced oxidation process (AOPs) is one of the NOMs removal methods. The aim of this study was to survey the degradation of humic acid by electron beam i...
