Detecting matter effects in long baseline experiments
Experiments strongly suggest that the flavour mixing responsible for the atmospheric neutrino anomaly is very close to being maximal. Thus, it is of great theoretical as well as experimental importance to measure any possible deviation from maximality. In this context, we reexamine the effects of matter interactions in long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments. Contrary to popular belief, ...
متن کاملTesting Matter Effects in Very Long Baseline Neutrino Oscillation Experiments∗
Assuming three-neutrino mixing, we study the capabilities of very long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments to verify and test the MSW effect and to measure the lepton mixing angle θ13. We suppose that intense neutrino and antineutrino beams will become available in so–called neutrino factories. We find that the most promising and statistically significant results can be obtained by studyi...
متن کاملEffects of matter density variations on dominant oscillations in long baseline neutrino experiments
Variations around the average density and composition of the Earth mantle may affect long-baseline (anti)neutrino oscillations through matter effects. For baselines not exceeding a few thousand km, such effects are known to be very small, and can be practically regarded as fractional contributions to the theoretical uncertainties. We perturbatively derive compact expressions to evaluate such co...
متن کاملEffects on Neutrino Oscillations in Long Baseline Experiments
We calculate matter effects on neutrino oscillations relevant for long baseline experiments. In particular, we compare the results obtained with constant density along the neutrino path versus results obtained by incorporating the actual density profiles in the Earth. We study the dependence of the oscillation signal on both E/∆m2atm and on the angles in the leptonic mixing matrix. We also comm...
متن کاملLong baseline neutrino oscillation experiments
In the last decade, the study of flavor oscillations with neutrino long baseline experiments has been an extremely effective way to get information on the mass (up to an unknown scale) and the mixing between weak and mass neutrino eigenstates. In particular, accelerator driven experiments have determined precisely the so-called 2-3 sector and are beginning to tackle the 1-3 sector. Within a dec...
