Update on four-family neutrino oscillations at ν-Factory
نویسنده
چکیده
The prospects of measuring the leptonic angles and CP-odd phases at a neutrino factory are discussed in the scenario of three active plus one sterile neutrino, motivated by the νμ → νe LSND signal. Sensitivity to the MNS mixing matrix angles at O(10) is achieved with a 1 T detector at ∼ 1 km from the source, whereas leptonic CP-violation can be measured through tau detection with a 1 kT detector at ∼ 100 km.

Four species neutrino oscillations at ν-Factory: sensitivity and CP-violation
The prospects of measuring the leptonic angles and CP-odd phases at a neutrino factory are discussed in the scenario of three active plus one sterile neutrino. We consider the νμ → νe LSND signal. Its associated large mass difference leads to observable neutrino oscillations at short (∼ 1 km) baseline experiments. Sensitivities to the leptonic angles down to 10 can be easily achieved with a 1 T...
متن کاملSummary of Golden Measurements at a ν-Factory
The precision and discovery potential of a neutrino factory based on muon storage rings is summarized. For three-family neutrino oscillations, we analyze how to measure or severely constraint the angle θ13, CP violation, MSW effects and the sign of the atmospheric mass difference ∆m223. The appearance of “wrong-sign muons” at three reference baselines is considered: 732 km, 3500 km and 7332 km....
متن کاملThe 2+2 and 3+1 Four-Family Neutrino Mixing at the Neutrino Factory
We upgrade the study of the physical reach of a Neutrino Factory in the Four Family Neutrino Mixing scenario taking into account the latest LSND results that points out how the 3+1 scheme cannot be completely ruled out within the present experimental data (although the 2+2 scheme is still the preferred choice when four neutrinos are considered). A detailed comparison of the physical reach of th...

متن کاملThe discovery channel at the Neutrino Factory : ν μ → ν τ pointing to sterile neutrinos
We study the potential of a Neutrino Factory in constraining the parameter space of a scheme with one sterile neutrino separated from three active ones by an O(1) eV mass-squared difference. We present approximated analytic expressions for the oscillation probabilities, showing that the greatest sensitivity to sterile neutrinos at a Neutrino Factory can be achieved using the νμ → νμ and the νμ ...
