Super-NOνA: A Long-baseline Neutrino Experiment with Two Off-axis Detectors
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider here the NOνA experiment configuration and propose to place a second off-axis detector, with a shorter baseline, such that the type of neutrino mass hierarchy could be determined, by exploiting matter effects, with only the neutrino run. We show that the determination of this parameter is free of degeneracies, provided the ratio L E, where L the baseline and E is the neutrino energy, is the same for both detectors. We also compare this possibility with the case of the second detector placed at the second oscillation maximum.

Getting the most from NOνA and T2K
The determination of the ordering of the neutrino masses (the hierarchy) is probably a crucial prerequisite to understand the origin of lepton masses and mixings and to establish their relationship to the analogous properties in the quark sector. In this talk, we follow an alternative strategy to the usual neutrino–antineutrino comparison: we exploit the combination of the neutrino-only data fr...

We discuss the physics of superbeam upgrades, where we focus on T2KK, a NuMI beam line based experiment NOνA*, and a wide band beam (WBB) experiment independent of the NuMI beam line. For T2KK, we find that the Japan-Korea baseline helps resolve parameter degeneracies, but the improvement due to correlated systematics between the two detectors (using identical detectors) is only moderate. For a...

متن کاملInternational Scoping Study Interim Report
Introduction The International scoping study of a future Neutrino Factory and Super-beam Facility (ISS) was established at NuFact 05 to survey the possibilities available for a future complex for precision neutrino physics to succeed the super beam experiments (T2K in Japan and Noνa in the USA) currently under construction. The possibilities centre around developments of the superbeam concept w...
متن کاملCP Violation and Neutrino Oscillations
We review the basic mechanisms of neutrino mass generation and the corresponding structure of the lepton mixing matrix. We summarize the status of three-neutrino oscillation parameters as determined from current observations, using state-of-the-art solar and atmospheric neutrino fluxes, as well as latest experimental data as of September 2007. We also comment on recent attempts to account for t...
