Atmospheric neutrinos with the first detection units of KM3NeT/ARCA
نویسندگان
چکیده
The KM3NeT Collaboration is constructing two deep-sea Cherenkov detectors in the Mediterranean Sea. ARCA detector aims at TeV-PeV neutrino astronomy, while ORCA optimised for atmospheric oscillation studies energies of a few GeV. In this contribution, an analysis data collected with first deployed detection units presented. A high-purity sample neutrinos selected demonstrating capability detector.

Atmospheric Neutrinos
We examine the possibility of determining the neutrino mass hierarchy in the limit θ13 = 0 using atmospheric neutrinos as the source. In this limit, in which θ13 driven matter effects are absent, independent measurements of ∆31 and ∆32 can, in principle, lead to hierarchy determination. Since the difference between these two is ∆21, one needs an experimental arrangement where ∆21L/E & 1 can be ...
متن کاملAtmospheric neutrinos
The results of experiments on atmospheric neutrinos are summarized, with the important exception of Su-perkamiokande. The main emphasis is given to the Soudan-2 and MACRO experiments. Both experiments observe atmospheric neutrino anomalies in agreement with νµ → ντ oscillations with maximum mixing. The νµ → νs oscillation is disfavored by the MACRO experiment.
متن کاملReview of Atmospheric Neutrinos
In this talk I review measurements and calculations of the flux of neutrinos produced by interactions of cosmic rays in the atmosphere. The main reason for interest in this subject is the apparent anomaly between the predicted and the observed ratio of νe to νμ. With the advent of Super-Kamiokande, we are on the threshold of an order of magnitude increase in the amount of data available to stud...
متن کاملDetection of atmospheric neutrinos and relativistic nuclear structure effects.
Neutrino-nucleus cross sections for the detection of atmospheric neutrinos are calculated in relativistic impulse and random phase approximations. Pion production is estimated via inclusive ∆hole nuclear excitations. The number of pion events can confuse the identification of the neutrino flavor. As a further source of pions we calculate coherent pion production (where the nucleus remains in th...
متن کاملUpdate on Atmospheric Neutrinos
We discuss the impact of recent experimental results on the determination of atmospheric neutrino oscillation parameters. We use all published results on atmospheric neutrinos, including the preliminary large statistics data of Super-Kamiokande. We re–analyze the data in terms of both νμ → ντ and νμ → νe channels using new improved calculations of the atmospheric neutrino flux. We compare the s...
