Testing Flavor Changing Neutrino Interactions in Long Baseline Experiments
We have investigated the possibility of discerning mass from flavor changing neutrino interactions induced νμ → ντ oscillations in the long baseline neutrino experiments K2K and MINOS. We have found that for virtually any value of the flavor conserving parameter ǫ it will be possible to, independently, distinguish these two mechanisms at K2K, if the flavor changing parameter ǫ is in the range ǫ...
متن کاملar X iv : h ep - p h / 00 09 09 2 v 1 7 S ep 2 00 0 1 Status of the solutions to neutrino
We review the status of the solutions to neutrino anomalies by flavor-changing as well as flavor-diagonal neutrino interactions. While it is difficult to explain the atmospheric neutrino data the solar neutrino data can be well accounted for by the massless neutrino oscillation induced by such non-standard neutrino interactions. We also discuss the possibility to test such kind of interactions ...
متن کاملNeutrino Oscillations and Non-standard Interactions
Current neutrino experiments are measuring the neutrino mixing parameters with an unprecedented accuracy. The upcoming generation of neutrino experiments will be sensitive to subdominant neutrino oscillation effects that can in principle give information on the yet-unknown neutrino parameters: the Dirac CP-violating phase in the PMNS mixing matrix, the neutrino mass ordering and the octant of θ...
متن کاملFlavor changing neutrino interactions and CP violation in neutrino oscillations
We investigate the interference effects of non-standard neutrino matter interactions (NSNI) with the mass-induced neutrino oscillations. The NSNI is composed of flavor-changing neutrino interactions (FCNI) and flavor-diagonal neutrino interactions (FDNI). Both of the interactions are introduced in the νμ − ντ sector and the νe−νμ sector in order to study their effects in νμ → ντ and νμ → νe osc...
متن کاملStatus of the solution to the solar neutrino problem based on non-standard neutrino interactions
We analyze the current status of the solution to the solar neutrino problem based both on: a) non-standard flavor changing neutrino interactions (FCNI) and b) non-universal flavor diagonal neutrino interactions (FDNI). We find that FCNI and FDNI with matter in the sun as well as in the earth provide a good fit not only to the total rate measured by all solar neutrino experiments but also to the...
متن کاملCan lepton flavor violating interactions explain the LSND results ?
If the atmospheric and the solar neutrino problem are both explained by neutrino oscillations, and if there are only three light neutrinos, then all masssquared differences between the neutrinos are known. In such a case, existing terrestrial neutrino oscillation experiments cannot be significantly affected by neutrino oscillations, but, in principle there could be an anomaly in the neutrino fl...
