Status of Kaska: the Japanese Reactor Sin 2 2θ 13 Project
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Last year, in the NOON03 conference, we pointed out the importance of reactor sin 2 2θ 13 measurement and showed a realistic experimental idea to measure sin 2 2θ 13 precisely using world's most powerful reactor complex. Since then, the conceptual design of the experiment and negotiations with electric power company, have been progressing. In this proceedings for the NOON04 conference, the present status of the proposed experiment, now called KASKA, is described.

MEASUREMENT OF sin 2 2θ13 BY REACTOR EXPERIMENTS AND ITS SENSITIVITY ∗
Reactor experiments offer a promising way to determine θ13 and are free from parameter degeneracies in neutrino oscillations. It is described how reactor measurements of sin 2θ13 can be improved by a near-far detector complex. The experimental lower bound is derived on the sensitivity to sin 2θ13 & 0.02 based on the rate analysis, and an idea is given which may enable us to circumvent this boun...
متن کاملLimits on νe and ν̄e disappearance from Gallium and reactor experiments
The deficit observed in the Gallium radioactive source experiments is interpreted as a possible indication of the disappearance of electron neutrinos. In the effective framework of two-neutrino mixing we obtain sin 2θ & 0.03 and ∆m & 0.1 eV. The compatibility of this result with the data of the Bugey and Chooz reactor short-baseline antineutrino disappearance experiments is studied. It is found...
متن کاملOn-site underground background measurements for the KASKA reactor-neutrino experiment
On-site underground background measurements were performed for the planned reactor-neutrino oscillation experiment KASKA at Kashiwazaki-Kariwa nuclear power station in Niigata, Japan. A small-diameter boring hole was excavated down to 70m underground level, and a detector unit for γ-ray and cosmic-muon measurements was placed at various depths to take data. The data were analyzed to obtain abun...
متن کاملNOE: a neutrino experiment for the CERN-Gran Sasso Long Base line project
The project of a large underground experiment (NOE) devoted to long baseline neutrino oscillation measurement is presented. The apparatus, consisting of TRD and calorimeter modules, has been optimized to be sensitive in the region of sin 2 2θ and ∆m 2 suggested by the atmospheric neutrino oscillation signal. The scientific goal of the NOE long baseline (LBL) experiment is the measurement of neu...
متن کاملNeutrino Oscillations : a Global Analysis
We review the status of the neutrino oscillation physics (as of June 2003), with a particular emphasis on the present knowledge of the neutrino mass-mixing parameters in a three generation approach. We consider first the ν µ → ν τ flavor transitions of atmospheric neutrinos. It is found that standard oscillations provide the best description of the SK+K2K data, and that the associated mass-mixi...
