Possible tests for sterile neutrinos ∗
نویسنده
چکیده
It is shown that the future SNO and Super-Kamiokande experiments, in which high energy 8 B neutrinos will be detected through the observation of CC, NC and ν–e elastic scattering processes, could allow to reveal in a model independent way the presence of sterile neutrinos in the flux of solar neutrinos on the earth.

MiniBooNE Results and Neutrino Schemes with 2 sterile Neutrinos: Possible Mass Orderings and Observables related to Neutrino Masses
The MiniBooNE and LSND experiments are compatible with each other when two sterile neutrinos are added to the three active ones. In this case there are eight possible mass orderings. In two of them both sterile neutrinos are heavier than the three active ones. In the next two scenarios both sterile neutrinos are lighter than the three active ones. The remaining four scenarios have one sterile n...
متن کاملSterile neutrinos, dark matter, and pulsar velocities in models with a Higgs singlet.
We identify the range of parameters for which the sterile neutrinos can simultaneously explain the cosmological dark matter and the observed velocities of pulsars. To satisfy all cosmological bounds, the relic sterile neutrinos must be produced sufficiently cold. This is possible in a class of models with a gauge-singlet Higgs boson coupled to the neutrinos. Sterile dark matter can be detected ...
متن کاملPossible LSND effect as a small perturbation of the bimaximal texture for three active neutrinos
A particular form of mixing matrix for three active and one sterile neutrinos is proposed. Its 3× 3 part describing three active neutrinos arises from the popular bimaximal mixing matrix that works satisfactorily in solar and atmospheric experiments if the LSND effect is ignored. Then, the sterile neutrino, effective in the fourth row and fourth column of the proposed mixing matrix, is responsi...
متن کاملSignature of sterile species in atmospheric neutrino data at neutrino telescopes
The MiniBooNE results have still not been able to comprehensively rule out the oscillation interpretation of the LSND experiment. So far the so-called short baseline experiments with energy in the MeV range and baseline of few meters have been probing the existence of sterile neutrinos. We show how signatures of these extra sterile states could be obtained in TeV energy range atmospheric neutri...
متن کاملSterile neutrinos: direct mixing effects versus induced mass matrix of active neutrinos
Mixing of active neutrinos with sterile ones generate “induced” contributions to the mass matrix of active neutrinos ∼ mS sin θaS , where mS is the Majorana mass of the sterile neutrino and θaS is the active-sterile mixing angle. We study possible effects of the induced matrix which can modify substantially the implications of neutrino oscillation results. We have identified the regions of mS a...
