Tests of physics beyond the Standard Model with future low energy neutrino experiments
نویسنده
چکیده
Neutrino-electron scattering can be used to probe neutrino electromagnetic properties at low-threshold underground detectors with good recoil electron energy resolution. We study the sensitivity of Helium detector experiments, such as HELLAZ, for artificial anti-neutrino sources. We show that, for a Sr − Y source, one expects a sensitivity to the neutrino magnetic moment at the level of μν = 2 × 10 −11μB . We also report the sensitivity that these experiments could have in searching for an additional gauge boson in E6 models.

We discuss the possibility of using future high–intensity low–energy neutrino beams for precision tests of the Standard Model. In particular we consider the determination of the electroweak mixing angle from elastic and quasi–elastic neutrino–nucleon scattering at a superbeam or β–beam. 1. The High–Intensity Frontier and Neu-trino Beams The search for new physics beyond the standard model in th...
متن کاملA road map to solar neutrino fluxes, neutrino oscillation parameters, and tests for new physics
We analyze all available solar and related reactor neutrino experiments, as well as simulated future 7Be, p− p, and pep solar neutrino experiments. We treat all solar neutrino fluxes as free parameters subject to the condition that the total luminosity represented by the neutrinos equals the observed solar luminosity (the ‘luminosity constraint’). Existing experiments plus the luminosity constr...
متن کاملNeutrino Cross Section Measurements for Long-baseline Accelerator-based Neutrino Oscillation Experiments
Neutrino oscillations are clear evidence for physics beyond the standard model. The goal of next-generation neutrino oscillation experiments is to find a non-zero θ13, the last mixing matrix element for which we only know an upper limit. For this, next-generation long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments require an order of magnitude better sensitivities. In particular, accelerator-based e...
متن کاملLow Energy Probes of Physics Beyond the Standard Model
Low-energy tests of fundamental symmetries and studies of neutrino properties provide a powerful window on physics beyond the Standard Model (BSM). In this article, we provide a basic theoretical framework for a subsequent set of articles that review the progress and opportunities in various aspects of the low-energy program. We illustrate the physics reach of different low-energy probes in ter...
متن کاملSolar Neutrinos: What We Have Learned
Four solar neutrino experiments are currently taking data. The results of these experiments confirm the hypothesis that the energy source for solar luminosity is hydrogen fusion. However, the measured rate for each of the four solar neutrino experiments differs significantly (by factors of 2.0 to 3.5) from the corresponding theoretical prediction that is based upon the standard solar model and ...
