Tests of three-flavor mixing in long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments.

چکیده
We compare the effectiveness of various tests of three-flavor mixing in future long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments. We analyze a representative case of mixing in a simplified three-flavor scheme, whose relevant parameters are one neutrino mass-square difference, m, and two mixing angles, ψ and φ. We show that an unambiguous determination of ψ and φ requires flavor-appearance tests in accelerator experiments, as well as supplementary information from reactor experiments.

New Formulation of Matter Effects on Neutrino Mixing and CP Violation
Within the framework of three lepton families we have derived an exact and compact formula to describe the matter effect on neutrino mixing and CP violation. This modeland parametrization-independent result can be particularly useful for recasting the fundamental lepton flavor mixing matrix from a variety of long-baseline neutrino experiments.

متن کاملFour-neutrino mixing and long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments
We consider the two schemes with four massive neutrinos which are compatible with the results of all neutrino oscillation experiments. We show that in these two schemes the probabilities of ν̄e disappearance and (−) νμ→ (−) νe appearance in long-baseline experiments are strongly suppressed. The investigation of neutrino properties, in particular of neutrino masses and mixing, is one of the most ...
متن کاملSum rules of four-neutrino mixing in matter
Assuming the existence of one light sterile neutrino, we investigate the neutrino flavor mixing matrix in matter. Sum rules between the mixing parameters in vacuum and their counterparts in matter are derived. By using these new sum rules, we obtain the simple but exact expressions of the effective flavor mixing matrix in matter in terms of neutrino masses and the mixing parameters in vacuum. T...
متن کاملCan the Lepton Flavor Mixing Matrix Be Symmetric?
Current neutrino oscillation data indicate that the 3 × 3 lepton flavor mixing matrix V is likely to be symmetric about its Ve3-Vμ2-Vτ1 axis. This offdiagonal symmetry corresponds to three pairs of congruent unitarity triangles in the complex plane. Terrestrial matter effects can substantially modify the genuine CP -violating parameter and off-diagonal asymmetries of V in realistic long-baselin...
متن کاملLong baseline neutrino oscillation experiments
In the last decade, the study of flavor oscillations with neutrino long baseline experiments has been an extremely effective way to get information on the mass (up to an unknown scale) and the mixing between weak and mass neutrino eigenstates. In particular, accelerator driven experiments have determined precisely the so-called 2-3 sector and are beginning to tackle the 1-3 sector. Within a dec...
