Neutrino Beams and Baselines
نویسنده
چکیده
Sensitivities to neutrino oscillation parameters for possible very long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments are discussed. The reach for observing a non-zero mixing angle θ13, establishing CP violation and determining the mass hierarchy are compared between various experimental options. Different possibilities for neutrino beams are briefly described, as well as the assumptions about the performance of a large water Cherenkov and liquid Argon detector.

Optimization of a neutrino factory oscillation experiment
We discuss the optimization of a neutrino factory experiment for neutrino oscillation physics in terms of muon energy, baselines, and oscillation channels (gold, silver, platinum). In addition, we study the impact and requirements for detector technology improvements, and we compare the results to beta beams. We find that the optimized neutrino factory has two baselines, one at about 3 000 to 5...

متن کاملMultiple cyclotron method to search for CP violation in the neutrino sector.
New low-cost, high-power proton cyclotrons open the opportunity for a novel precision search for CP violation in the light neutrino sector. The accelerators can produce decay-at-rest neutrino beams located at multiple distances from a Gd-doped ultralarge water Cherenkov detector in order to search for CP violation in nu(mu)-->nu(e) oscillations at short baselines. This new type of search comple...
متن کاملHow two neutrino superbeam experiments do better than one
We examine the use of two superbeam neutrino oscillation experiments with baselines <∼ 1000 km to resolve parameter degeneracies inherent in the three-neutrino analysis of such experiments. We find that with appropriate choices of neutrino energies and baselines two experiments with different baselines can provide a much better determination of the neutrino mass ordering than a single experimen...
متن کاملThree-family oscillations using neutrinos from muon beams at very long baseline
The planned LBL experiments will be able to prove the hypothesis of flavor oscillation between muon and tau neutrinos. We explore the possibility of a second generation long baseline experiment at very long baseline, i.e. L in the range 5000− 7000 km. This distance requires intense neutrino beams that could be available from very intense muon beams as those needed for μ colliders. Such baseline...
