Aspects of Neutrino Oscillations ⋆
نویسنده
چکیده
I review some aspects concerning the physics of neutrino mixing and oscillations. I discuss in some detail the physical neutrino oscillations parameter space in the case of two and three family mixing, and briefly describe the current knowledge of neutrino mixing parameters according to the present solar, atmospheric, and reactor neutrino data. I also briefly comment on the possibility of solving the LNSD anomaly together with the solar and atmospheric ones. I conclude by emphasising that that even though in five to ten years time a lot will be learnt from the next round of neutrino experiments, a great deal about neutrino masses and neutrino mixing will remain unknown.

Neutrino Oscillations beyond Two Flavours
I review some theoretical aspects of neutrino oscillations in the case when more than two neutrino flavours are involved. These include: approximate analytic solutions for 3-flavour (3f) oscillations in matter; matter effects in νµ ↔ ντ oscillations; 3f effects in oscillations of solar, atmospheric, reactor and supernova neutrinos and in accelerator long-baseline experiments; CP and T violation...
متن کاملNeutrino Oscillations and Non-Hermitian Quantum Mechanics
In this dissertation we firstly present a brief review of the Standard Model of particle physics, focussing on aspects of the model that prove most relevant in the context of explaining the observed oscillation of neutrinos. The phenomenology of neutrino oscillations is then introduced, and different possible extensions to the Standard Model that would allow for non-zero neutrino masses, thereb...
متن کاملThree-flavour effects and CP- and T-violation in neutrino oscillations
Some theoretical aspects of 3-flavour (3f) neutrino oscillations are reviewed. These include: general properties of 3f oscillation probabilities; matter effects in νμ ↔ ντ oscillations; 3f effects in oscillations of solar, atmospheric, reactor and supernova neutrinos and in accelerator long-baseline experiments; CP and T violation in neutrino oscillations in vacuum and in matter, and the proble...
متن کاملSolar neutrino oscillation: Recent aspects
The evidence of solar neutrino deficit can be interpreted as a signal of solar electron neutrinos conversion into different states. We present an updated analysis of the current solar neutrino phenomenology in the framework of flavor neutrino oscillations into active states, showing the zones of mass–mixing oscillation parameters compatible with all the data.
متن کاملAspects of Neutrino Mass Matrices
The minimal standard model involves three chiral neutrino states, but it does not admit renormalizable interactions that can generate neutrino masses. Nevertheless, experimental evidence show that both solar and atmospheric neutrinos display flavor oscillations, and hence that neutrinos do have mass. Among the many renormalizable and gauge-invariant extensions of the standard model that can pro...
