Status and Prospects of Long Baseline ν Oscillation Experiments
نویسنده
چکیده
We will start with a brief overview of neutrino oscillation physics with emphasis on the remaining unanswered questions. Next we will discuss results and status of long baseline accelerator neutrino oscillation experiments that are in a mature data taking mode, have just started or are about to start data taking. Then, we will present the next generation of long baseline experiments with a primary goal to search for the yet to be measured third neutrino mixing angle. Finally we will introduce the plans for future long baseline accelerator neutrino oscillation experiments of which the primary goals are the search for CP violation in the neutrino sector, and the determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy. We will focus on experiments utilizing powerful (0.7 4.0 MW) neutrino beams, either existing or in the design phase.

Neutrino Mixing Sum Rules and Oscillation Experiments
The neutrino mixing sum rule θ 12 − θ 13 cos(δ) ≈ θ ν 12 provides a possibility to explore the structure of the neutrino mass matrix in the presence of charged lepton corrections, since it relates the 1-2 mixing angle from the neutrino mass matrix, θ ν 12 , to observable parameters of the PMNS mixing matrix. The neutrino mixing sum rule holds if the charged lepton mixing angles are CKM-like, i....
متن کاملFour-neutrino Ms 2 Mixing Typeset Using Revt E X 1
We present a simple scheme of mixing of four neutrinos that can accommodate the results of all neutrino oscillation experiments, the observed abundances of primordial elements and the current upper bound for the effective Majo-rana neutrino mass in neutrinoless double-β decay (assuming that massive neutrinos are Majorana particles). The scheme has maximal mixing in the ν µ , ν τ –ν 3 , ν 4 sect...
متن کاملRecent Results and Future Prospects of Neutrino Oscillation Experiments
Since the discovery of non-zero θ13 and oscillation-induced electron neutrino appearance, it has become possible to address the question of CP violation in neutrino oscillations in long-baseline experiments. Though current experiments have already begun to constrain δcp, the parameter responsible for CP violation in the PMNS mixing paradigm, uncertainties in other oscillation parameters remain ...
متن کاملThe neutrino puzzle in the light of SNO
SNO's neutral current measurement has added a new piece to the emerging neutrino physics puzzle. Putting together the presently available experimental information, an essentially unique picture emerges: The solar neutrino anomaly is explained by ν e → ν τ oscillations, the atmospheric neu-trino anomaly is explained by ν µ → ν s and the LSND data are explained by ν e → ν µ. This scheme will be t...
متن کاملFour species neutrino oscillations at ν-Factory: sensitivity and CP-violation
The prospects of measuring the leptonic angles and CP-odd phases at a neutrino factory are discussed in the scenario of three active plus one sterile neutrino. We consider the νμ → νe LSND signal. Its associated large mass difference leads to observable neutrino oscillations at short (∼ 1 km) baseline experiments. Sensitivities to the leptonic angles down to 10 can be easily achieved with a 1 T...
