Status of neutrino oscillations I: the three-neutrino scenario
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a global analysis of neutrino oscillation data within the threeneutrino oscillation scheme, including in our fit all the current solar neutrino data, the reactor neutrino data from KamLAND and CHOOZ, the atmospheric neutrino data from Super-Kamiokande and MACRO, and the first data from the K2K long-baseline accelerator experiment. We determine the current best fit values and allowed ranges for the three-flavor oscillation parameters, discussing the relevance of each individual data set as well as the complementarity of different data sets. Furthermore, we analyze in detail the status of the small parameters θ13 and ∆m 2 21 /∆m 31 , which fix the possible strength of CP violating effects in neutrino oscillations.

Status of Neutrino Fits
The last five years have been extraordinary for neutrino physics, with the Super-Kamiokande evidence of atmospheric neutrino oscillations1, the SNO evidence of solar neutrino oscillations2,3, the KamLAND 4 and K2K 5 confirmations of these evidences with neutrinos from controlled laboratory sources. As a result of the findings of these and other important experiments, a scenario of bilarge mixin...
متن کاملStatus of neutrino oscillations II: How to reconcile the LSND result?
We present an analysis of the global neutrino oscillation data including the LSND result in terms of four-neutrino mass schemes and a CPT violating three-neutrino framework. We find that the strong preference of oscillations into active neutrinos implied by recent solar+KamLAND as well as atmospheric neutrino data allows to rule out (2+2) mass schemes at 5.8σ, whereas (3+1) schemes are disfavou...
متن کاملNeutrino 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.
متن کاملNeutrino masses and oscillations
I summarize the status of three–neutrino oscillations that follow from combining the relevant world’s data. The discussion includes the small parameters α ≡ ∆m2 sol /∆m2 atm and sin2 θ13, which characterize the strength of CP violation in neutrino oscillations, the impact of oscillation data on the prospects for probing the absolute scale of neutrino mass in ββ0ν and the robustness of the neutr...
متن کاملModels of Neutrino Mass and Interactions for Neutrino Oscillations
I review the various mechanisms for obtaining nonzero neutrino masses. I focus on the possibility of adding one light singlet neutrino to the three known doublet neutrinos νe, νμ, and ντ to accommodate the totality of neutrino-oscillation experiments. I review the various theoretical suggestions for this singlet. I discuss also a scenario in which there are only the three doublet neutrinos but ...
