(new) Neutrino Physics at Gran Sasso National Laboratory
نویسنده
چکیده
Experiments in underground laboratories have shown evidence of physics beyond the standard model. The anomalies observed in electron-neutrinos from the sun and muonneutrinos from cosmic rays interactions in the atmosphere can be explained if neutrino are massive and oscillate. The physics program at the INFN Gran Sasso Laboratory that we are defining will be focussed on the next phase of neutrino physics with a complementary set of experiments.

The OPERA Experiment
OPERA(Oscillation Project with EmulsiontRacking Apparatus) is a new detector concept, iron(lead)emulsion for a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment. This experiment would perform an appearance search for υμ−υτ oscillation in the parameter region indicated by the atmospheric neutrino anomaly. OPERA can run at the Gran Sasso Laboratory in the proposed NGS (Neutrino to Gran Sasso) Beam fr...
متن کاملNeutrino Physics and Astronomy with Macro
MACRO experiment operated in the Gran Sasso underground laboratory. Neutrino events collected by this detector are used in order to study the atmospheric neutrino flux. Different measurements in different energy samples are in full agreement and show evidence of neutrino oscillation phenomenon with maximal mixing and ∆m 2 ∼ 0.0025 eV 2. Also the search for neutrino astrophysical sources is repo...
متن کاملAIP-6-3/8 x 9-1/4
We briefly discuss the physics motivation for a neutrino factory with varying baseline distances of about 1000 to 9000 km. We describe the amount of non planarity of the storage ring required to service three or four detectors at once. A novel bowtie storage ring is described that could in part provide these beams; a preliminary lattice design is given. We give the space angles between the vari...
متن کاملBOREXINO: a Real Time Detector for Low Energy Solar Neutrinos
After a short introduction to solar neutrino physics, this paper describes the conceptual design and expected performance of the BOREXINO underground detector at Gran Sasso. Low background results from the Counting Test Facility, the rst phase of the BOREXINO project, are summarized. Indicative sensitivities to non-standard neutrino physics scenarios are presented.
متن کاملNOE, a Neutrino Oscillation Experiment at Gran Sasso Laboratory
The project of a large underground experiment (NOE ) devoted to long baseline neutrino oscillation measurement is presented. The apparatus is composed by calorimetric modules interleaved with TRD modules and has been optimized to be sensitive in the region of sin 2θ and ∆m suggested by the atmospheric neutrino oscillation signal.
