چکیده

We investigate the impact of the 766.3 Ty KamLAND spectrum data on the determination of the solar neutrino oscillation parameters. We show that the observed spectrum distortion in the KamLAND experiment firmly establishes ∆m21 to lie in the low-LMA solution region. The high-LMA solution is excluded at more than 4σ by the global solar neutrino and KamLAND spectrum data. The maximal solar neutrino mixing is ruled out at 6σ level. The 3σ allowed region in the ∆m21 − sin 2 θ12 plane is found to be remarkably stable with respect to leaving out the data from one of the solar neutrino experiments from the global analysis. We perform a three flavor neutrino oscillation analysis of the global solar neutrino and KamLAND spectrum data as well. The 3σ upper limit on sin θ13 is found to be sin θ13 < 0.055. We derive predictions for the CC to NC event rate ratio and day-night (D-N) asymmetry in the CC event rate, measured in the SNO experiment, and for the suppression of the event rate in the BOREXINO and LowNu experiments. Prospective high precision measurements of the solar neutrino oscillation parameters are also discussed.

Constraints on the Neutrino Parameters from the ‘Rise-up’ in the Boron Neutrino Spectrum at Low Energies

The rise-up in boron neutrino spectrum at low energies has been studied within the framework of ‘pure LMA’ scenario. Indirect bounds on the spectral ‘upturn’ have been obtained from the available solar neutrino data. These bounds have been used to demonstrate the efficacy of the precision measurements of the ‘upturn’ for further constraining the neutrino parameter space allowed by SNO salt phas...

Solving Solar Neutrino Puzzle via LMA MSW Conversion

We analyze the existed solar neutrino experiment data and show the allowed regions. The result from SNO’s salt phase itself restricts quite a lot the allowed region’s area. Reactor neutrinos play an important role in determining oscillation parameters. KamLAND gives decisive conclusion on the solution to the solar neutrino puzzle, in particular, the spectral distortion in the 766.3 Ty KamLAND d...

Measurement of neutrino oscillation with KamLAND: evidence of spectral distortion.

We present results of a study of neutrino oscillation based on a 766 ton/year exposure of KamLAND to reactor antineutrinos. We observe 258 nu (e) candidate events with energies above 3.4 MeV compared to 365.2+/-23.7 events expected in the absence of neutrino oscillation. Accounting for 17.8+/-7.3 expected background events, the statistical significance for reactor nu (e) disappearance is 99.998...

CPT violating neutrinos in the light of KamLAND

The KamLAND collaboration has observed a medium baseline oscillation signal for reactor antineutrinos. We show that a hierarchical CPT violating neutrino spectrum can simultaneously accommodate the oscillation data from LSND, atmospheric, solar and KamLAND, as well as the nonobservation of antineutrino disappearance in short baseline reactor experiments. In our scenario the KamLAND experiment i...

Solar Neutrino Oscillation Phenomenology

Abstract. This article summarises the status of the solar neutrino oscillation phenomenology at the end of 2002 in the light of the SNO and KamLAND results. We first present the allowed areas obtained from global solar analysis and demonstrate the preference of the solar data towards the Large-Mixing-Angle (LMA) MSW solution. A clear confirmation in favor of the LMA solution comes from the KamL...
