A note on the neutrino mass implications of the K2K experiment
نویسندگان
چکیده
The K2K experiment has presented the first results on the observation of νμ. They show a depletion compared to the expectations and are consistent with neutrino oscillations with a mass-splitting in the range favoured by the Super-Kamiokande atmospheric neutrino measurements. Here we examine the extent by which the range of ∆m obtained from the K2K measurements can vary due to the uncertainties in the flux, cross-section, and detector efficiency.

New Results from Super-k and K2k
This paper summarizes recent (as of SSI-02, in some cases updated in November, 2002) results from the Super-Kamiokande and K2K experiments. The interpretation of Super-Kamiokande results on atmospheric and solar neutrinos provides strong evidence for neutrino oscillations, hence non-zero neutrino mass. While statistics are still limited, K2K data are consistent with Super-Kamiokande results on ...
متن کاملEXOTIC SOLUTIONS TO THE SOLAR NEUTRINO PROBLEM AND SOME IMPLICATIONS FOR LOW ENERGY SOLAR NEUTRINO EXPERIMENTS a
It is considered that observed data coming from atmospheric neutrino experiments 1 are compelling evidence of neutrino oscillation indicating the presence of neutrino mass and flavor mixing . This is now being confirmed by the ongoing K2K experiment . Results of the solar neutrino experiments 5 are also supporting such mass induced neutrino oscillations hypothesis, either through the matter enh...

متن کاملTesting 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 کاملLatest Results from the K2k Experiment A
The KEK to Kamioka long-baseline neutrino experiment (K2K) is the first accelerator-based experiment with hundreds of km neutrino path length. K2K focuses on the study of the existence of neutrino oscillations in νμ disappearance that is observed in atmospheric neutrinos. With nearly pure muon neutrino beam produced with 5.6 × 10 protons from 12 GeV PS on target, 56 neutrino events have been ob...
