Status and prospects for solar and atmospheric neutrinos
نویسنده
چکیده
Atmospheric and solar neutrino experiments have been contributing substantially to the understanding of the neutrino masses and mixing angles. Recently, several new data have been presented from solar and atmospheric neutrino experiments. These new data are discussed together with the constraints on oscillation parameters. There are still exciting, future solar and atmospheric neutrino studies. The prospects for these experiments are also discussed. c Copyright owned by the author(s) under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike Licence.

Implications of Solar and Atmospheric Neutrinos
The importance of non-zero neutrino mass as a probe of particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology is emphasized. The present status and future prospects for the solar and atmospheric neutrinos are reviewed, and the implications for neutrino mass and mixing in 2, 3, and 4-neutrino schemes are discussed. The possibilities for significant mixing between ordinary and light sterile neutrinos are ...
متن کاملParametric resonance in neutrino oscillations in matter ∗
Neutrino oscillations in matter can exhibit a specific resonance enhancement – parametric resonance, which is different from the MSW resonance. Oscillations of atmospheric and solar neutrinos inside the earth can undergo parametric enhancement when neutrino trajectories cross the core of the earth. In this paper we review the parametric resonance of neutrino oscillations in matter. In particula...
متن کاملNeutrino Oscillations: Status, Prospects and Opportunities at a Neutrino Factory
We review the current status of neutrino oscillations after 1258 days of SuperKamiokande, assess their future prospects over the next 10 years as the next generation of experiments come on-line, and discuss the longer-term opportunities presented by a Neutrino Factory. We also give an introduction to the see-saw mechanism and its application to atmospheric and solar neutrinos. Based on invited ...
متن کاملNeutrino-less Double Beta Decay and beyond the Standard Model Physics
A brief sketch is given of the present observational status and future prospects of the physics of neutrino mass, including a survey of the various theoretical schemes of neutrino mass generation. Emphasis is given to those which are motivated by present experimental hints from solar and atmospheric neutrinos, as well as from cosmological data related to the dark matter question. The conceptual...
متن کاملNeutrino Masses and Mixing: Evidence and Implications
Measurements of various features of the fluxes of atmospheric and solar neutrinos have provided evidence for neutrino oscillations and therefore for neutrino masses and mixing. We review the phenomenology of neutrino oscillations in vacuum and in matter. We present the existing evidence from solar and atmospheric neutrinos as well as the results from laboratory searches, including the final sta...
