Where do we stand with solar neutrino oscillations?

چکیده

We determine parameters for MSW and vacuum oscillations (active and sterile neutrinos) that are allowed by separate, and collective, imposition of the constraints from total event rates in the chlorine, GALLEX, SAGE, and SuperKamiokande experiments (504 days), the SuperKamiokande energy spectrum, and the SuperKamiokande zenith-angle dependence. The small mixing angle MSW solution is acceptable at 7% C.L. (8% for sterile ν’s) and the vacuum solution is acceptable at 6% C.L. . The best-fit global MSW solution for active neutrinos is: ∆m = 5 × 10−6eV, sin 2θ = 5.5 × 10 (and for sterile neutrinos: ∆m = 4 × 10−6eV, sin 2θ = 7 × 10 ). For vacuum oscillations, the best-fit solution is: ∆m = 6.5× 10eV, sin 2θ = 0.75 . An arbitrary combination of undistorted (no oscillations) pp, Be, B, and CNO neutrino fluxes is inconsistent with the combined data sets at the 3.5σ C.L., independent of astrophysical considerations. We use improved calculations of solar model fluxes, neutrino absorption cross sections and energy spectra, and a detailed evaluation of regeneration effects.

Embed Zee Neutrino Mass Model into Susy

We have seen substantial amount of experimental evidences from solar and atmospheric neutrino experiments that neutrinos in fact have masses. Among the experiments, SuperKamiokande 2 provided the strongest evidence for the atmospheric neutrino deficit, especially the impressive zenith angle distribution. The neutrino oscillation of νμ → ντ provides the best explanation for the atmospheric neutr...

Neutrino spin-flavor oscillations in rapidly varying external fields

We study the neutrino oscillations in presence of rapidly varying external fields. The effective Hamiltonian describing the evolution of the system of the neutrinos is derived. We examine the resonance conditions in the case of general rapidly varying external fields. The neutrino spin-flavor oscillations in the combination of the constant transversal and twisting magnetic fields are considered...

Neutrino Oscillations Induced by Two-loop Radiative Effects

Phenomena of neutrino oscillations are discussed on the basis of two-loop radiative neutrino mechanism. Neutrino mixings are experimentally suggested to be maximal in both atmospheric and solar neutrino oscillations. By using Le −Lμ −Lτ (≡ L )-conservation, which, however, only ensures the maximal solar neutrino mixing, we find that two-loop radiative mechanism dynamically generates the maximal...

Neutrino oscillations: Current status and prospects

I summarize the status of neutrino oscillations from world neutrino oscillation data with date of October 2005. The results of a global analysis within the three-flavour framework are presented. Furthermore, a prospect on where we could stand in neutrino oscillations in ten years from now is given, based on a simulation of upcoming longbaseline accelerator and reactor experiments.
