Limit on Non-Standard Interactions from the atmospheric neutrino data

چکیده

We searched for non-standard neutrino interaction with the whole atmospheric neutrino data in Super-Kamiokande I and II. Neutrino oscillations in atmospheric neutrinos as well as that in the solar and reacter neutrinos play a very important role in particle physics because they present the evedence for physics beyond the standard model. Focussing on the existing atmospheric neutrino data, they are explained very well by νμ → ντ oscillation scheme, here we can use the robustness of the imprementation in order to obtain tight limits on a lot of mechanisms proposed alternative to the neutrino oscillations. Our main interest in this paper is on the placement of stringent limits on one possible alternative solution, non-standard neutrino interaction, in νμ → ντ sector with 2flavor atmospheric neutrino framework.

Probing neutrino non–standard interactions with atmospheric neutrino data

We have reconsidered the atmospheric neutrino anomaly in light of the latest data from Super–Kamiokande contained events and from Super–Kamiokande and MACRO up-going muons. We have reanalysed the proposed solution to the atmospheric neutrino anomaly in terms of non–standard neutrino–matter interactions (NSI) as well as the standard νμ → ντ oscillations (OSC). Our statistical analysis shows that...

Standard and Non-Standard Physics in Neutrino Oscillations

We analyze the impact of recent solar and atmospheric data in the determination of the neutrino oscillation parameters, taking into account that both the solar νe and the atmospheric νμ may convert to a mixture of active and sterile neutrinos. Furthermore, in the context of the atmospheric neutrino problem we discuss an extended mechanism of neutrino propagation which combines both oscillations...

Non-standard Interactions: Atmospheric versus Neutrino Factory Experiments

We consider the potential of a generic neutrino factory (NUFACT) in probing non– standard neutrino–matter interactions (NSI). We find that the sensitivity to flavourchanging (FC) NSI can be substantially improved with respect to present atmospheric neutrino data, especially at energies higher than approximately 50 GeV, where the effect of the tau mass is small. For example, a 100 GeV NUFACT can...

Neutrino Properties Before and After KamLAND

We review neutrino oscillation physics, including the determination of mass splittings and mixings from current solar, atmospheric, reactor and accelerator neutrino data. A brief discussion is given of cosmological and astrophysical implications. Non-oscillation phenomena such as neutrinoless double beta decay would, if discovered, probe the absolute scale of neutrino mass and also reveal their...

EXOTIC SOLUTIONS TO THE SOLAR NEUTRINO PROBLEM AND SOME IMPLICATIONS FOR LOW ENERGY SOLAR NEUTRINO EXPERIMENTS a

It is considered that observed data coming from atmospheric neutrino experiments 1 are compelling evidence of neutrino oscillation indicating the presence of neutrino mass and flavor mixing . This is now being confirmed by the ongoing K2K experiment . Results of the solar neutrino experiments 5 are also supporting such mass induced neutrino oscillations hypothesis, either through the matter enh...
