چکیده
In order to calibrate the Super-Kamiokande experiment for solar neutrino measurements, a linear accelerator (LINAC) for electrons was installed at the detector. LINAC data were taken at various positions in the detector volume, tracking the detector response in the variables relevant to solar neutrino analysis. In particular, the absolute energy scale is now known with less than 1% uncertainty. ( 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

متن کاملDirect Measurement of Supernova Neutrino Emission Parameters with a Gadolinium-Enhanced Super-Kamiokande Detector
The time-integrated luminosity and average energy of the neutrino emission spectrum are essential diagnostics of core-collapse supernovae. The SN 1987A electron antineutrino observations by the Kamiokande-II and IMB detectors are only roughly consistent with each other and theory. Using new measurements of the star formation rate history, we reinterpret the Super-Kamiokande upper bound on the e...
متن کاملL/E-Flatness of the Electron-Like Event Ratio in Super-Kamiokande and a Degeneracy in Neutrino Masses
We show that the L/E-flatness of the electron-like event ratio in the Super-Kamiokande atmospheric neutrino data implies the equality of the expectation values for the muon and tau neutrino masses. We establish this result by obtaining a set of three constraints on the neutrino-oscillation mixing matrix as contained in the indicated flatness. The resulting 3× 3 neutrino-oscillation matrix depen...
متن کاملResult in Neutrino Oscillations from 400-days Data of Super-kamiokande
The Super-Kamiokande experiment, using the largest underground water Cerenkov detector, has been running since April 1, 1996. The total live time for the analysis has reached more than 300 days. The newest results in atmospheric neutrino, solar neutrino and related topics are reported. Figure 1: The schematic view of Super-Kamiokande detector.
متن کاملSolar Neutrino Precision Measurements using all 1496 Days of Super-Kamiokande-I Data
The results of the entire Super-Kamiokande-I solar neutrino data are presented. The measured interaction rate is 47±2% of the rate expected by the standard solar model and 133±5% of the rate implied by the SNO chargedcurrent interaction rate. There is no evidence for spectral distortion or a time dependent neutrino flux. Together with the rates of other experiments, the Super-Kamiokande results...
