Quantum Interference Effects in the Detection Probability of Charged Leptons Produced in Charged Current Weak Interactions
نویسنده
چکیده
The phases of quantum interference effects in charged lepton production by neutrinos (neutrino oscillations) following pion decay at rest and in flight, muon decay and nuclear β−decay at rest as well as for ‘muon oscillations’ following pion decay at rest and in flight are calculated. The same phase is found for neutrino and muon oscillations following pion decay at rest. The results found disagree with the conventionally used value: φ12 = ∆m 2L/(2P ). Differences to previous treatments are briefly commented on. PACS 03.65.Bz, 14.60.Pq, 14.60.Lm, 13.20.Cz

Although charged leptons, contrary to neutrinos, cannot oscillate, exploring whether a coherent superposition of charged lepton states can change to others during the propagation is an important problem in the neutrino oscillation theory. In this paper, we consider electrons and muons coming from the pions and W decays and study their propagation in relativistic Bohmian quantum mechanics. We f...
متن کاملOn Neutrino Production of Heavy Neutral Leptons*
Production of heavy neutral leptons by p -.type neutrinos is inves tigated in the framework of a strangeness-conserving neutral current model, ati the analysis is applied to the Ramm effect. The failure to observe such heavy leptons in the K-meson decay spectrum is easily understood, but the large charged current coupling strength required in the heavy lepton decay (well above the universal val...
متن کاملQCD Corrections to Inclusive Distributions of Leptons in Decays of Polarised Heavy Quarks*
Compact analytic expressions have been obtained for the first order perturbative QCD corrections to the inclusive spectra of the leptons in the semileptonic decays of polarised heavy quarks. Charmed and beautiful Λ baryons from Z decays can be viewed as sources of highly polarised charm and bottom quarks. Charged leptons and neutrinos from Λb and Λc decays can be used in the polarisation studie...
متن کاملEUROPEAN ORGANIZATION FOR NUCLEAR RESEARCH A novel concept for the detection of tau neutrino appearance
A novel concept for the detection of tau neutrinos is presented, potentially suitable for use in a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment. It relies on the direct identification of the tau leptons produced in charged-current interactions, by imaging the Cherenkov light that the tau generates in C6F14 liquid. In a simple simulation about half of the tau leptons can be successfully identif...
متن کاملCLEO Results on Tau Michel Parameters
Heavy lepton (μ, τ) decays are mediated (in the Standard Model) by the charged weak current, carried by W force bosons with a V − A Lorentz structure. As a consequence, such decays exhibit maximal parity violation, while conserving CP. The couplings of all the charged leptons to the W are consistent with being exactly equal (universality). Many extensions to the Standard Model predict small dev...
