چکیده

We examine the prospects of making a joint analysis of neutrino oscillation at two baselines with neutrino superbeams. Assuming narrow band superbeams and a 100 kt water Cerenkov calorimeter, we calculate the event rates and sensitivities to the matter effect, the signs of the neutrino mass differences, the CP phase and the mixing angle θ13. Taking into account all possible experimental errors under general consideration, we explored the optimum cases of narrow band beam to measure the matter effect and the CP violation effect at all baselines up to 3000 km. We then focus on two specific baselines, a long baseline of 300 km and a very long baseline of 2100 km, and analyze their joint capabilities. We found that the joint analysis can offer extra leverage to resolve some of the ambiguities that are associated with the measurement at a single baseline.

Testing LSND at long-baseline neutrino experiments

Recently it was suggested that two very different mass-squared differences play a role in atmospheric neutrino oscillations. The larger of these also accounts for the LSND result and the smaller of these also drives the solar neutrino oscillations. We consider the predictions of this scheme for long-baseline experiments. We find that high statistics experiments, such as MINOS, can observe a cle...

Atmospheric Neutrino Oscillations among Three Neutrino Flavors and Long-baseline Experiments

Anticipating future long-baseline neutrino experiments to search for neutrino oscillations in various oscillation channels, we have analyzed the atmospheric neutrino data in the framework of a model with mixing of three massive neutrino fields that can accommodate the data of solar neutrino experiments. The oscillations of atmospheric and terrestrial neutrinos are described in this model by thr...

Investigation of Long Baseline Neutrino Oscillations from Experiments at KAON

The proposed KAON factory at the Triumf Laboratory in Vancouver, Canada provides a unique opportunity for high statistics long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments. Several possibilities are under active consideration. In this paper we describe the theoretical expectations for a very long baseline experiment in which the neutrinos are directed towards, and detected at the Superkamiokande d...

Effects of matter density variations on dominant oscillations in long baseline neutrino experiments

Variations around the average density and composition of the Earth mantle may affect long-baseline (anti)neutrino oscillations through matter effects. For baselines not exceeding a few thousand km, such effects are known to be very small, and can be practically regarded as fractional contributions to the theoretical uncertainties. We perturbatively derive compact expressions to evaluate such co...

Neutrino Mixing , Cp / T Violation and Textures in Four - Neutrino Models

We examine the prospects for determining the neutrino mixing matrix and for observing CP and T violation in neutrino oscillations in four-neutrino models. We focus on a general class of four-neutrino models with two pairs of nearly degenerate mass eigenstates separated by approximately 1 eV, which can describe the solar, atmospheric and LSND neutrino data. We present a general parametrization o...
