Neutrino Physics: an Experimental Overview
Neutrinos are now known to have mass and to mix. It is still not known exactly how they fit into the theoretical picture, however. In the baseline Standard Model, neutrinos are massless, and extensions to the Standard Model are required to explain their small masses and the observed oscillation phenomena. These observations can be accommodated in GUTs, and perhaps more exotic scenarios such as ...
متن کاملMeasuring Neutrino Oscillations with Nuclear Reactors
Since the first direct observations of antineutrino events by Reines and Cowan in the 1950's [1], nuclear reactors have been an important tool in the study of neutrino properties. More recently, the study of neutrino oscillations has been a very active area of research. The pioneering observation of oscillations by the KamLAND experiment has provided crucial information on the neutrino mixing m...
متن کاملNeutrino physics overview
Seesaw-type and low-scale models of neutrino masses are reviewed, along with the corresponding structure of the lepton mixing matrix. The status of neutrino oscillation parameters as of June 2006 is given, including recent fluxes, as well as latest SNO, K2K and MINOS results. Some prospects for the next generation of experiments are given. This writeup updates the material presented in my lectu...
متن کاملNeutrino Oscillation Experiments at Nuclear Reactors
In this paper I give an overview of the status of neutrino oscillation experiments performed using nuclear reactors as sources of neutrinos. I review the present generation of experiments (Chooz and Palo Verde) with baselines of about 1 km as well as the next generation that will search for oscillations with a baseline of about 100 km. While the present detectors provide essential input towards...
متن کاملOverview of Neutrino Oscillation Physics *
Recent evidence for neutrino oscillations has revolutionized the study of neutrino masses and mixing. This report gives an overview of what we are learning from the neutrino oscillation experiments, the prospects for the near term, and the bright future of neutrino mass studies. Tree-level mass generation occurs through the Higgs mechanism. The Dirac mass m D arises in a lepton conserving (∆L =...
