Parametric Resonance in Oscillations of Atmospheric Neutrinos?
We consider a solution of the atmospheric neutrino problem based on oscillations of muon neutrinos to sterile neutrinos: νμ ↔ νs. The zenith angle (Θ) dependences of the neutrino and upward-going muon fluxes in presence of these oscillations are studied. The dependences have characteristic form with two dips: at cosΘ = −0.6÷−0.2 and cosΘ = −1.0÷−0.8. The latter dip is due to parametric resonanc...
متن کاملParametric resonance of neutrino oscillations and passage of solar and atmospheric neutrinos through the earth
We present an exact analytic solution to the neutrino evolution equation in matter with periodic step-function density profile and discuss in detail the parametric resonance of neutrino oscillations that can occur in such a system. Solar and atmospheric neutrinos traversing the earth pass through layers of alternating density and can therefore experience parametric resonance of their oscillatio...
متن کاملAtmospheric neutrinos at Super-Kamiokande and parametric resonance in neutrino oscillations
We consider the oscillations of atmospheric neutrinos in the earth in the threeneutrino scheme with a ∆m hierarchy and a small admixture of the electron neutrino in the heavy mass eigenstate characterized by the mixing angle θ13. We show that for ∆m ≃ (0.5− 3)× 10 eV indicated by the Super-Kamiokande data and sin 2θ13 < ∼ 0.2, the oscillations of multi-GeV neutrinos in the subdominant νμ ↔ νe m...
متن کاملAtmospheric neutrino oscillations in three-flavor neutrinos
We analyzed the atmospheric neutrino experiments of SuperKamiokande including zenith angle dependence’s using the three-flavor neutrino framework with the hierarchy m1 ≈ m 2 2 ≪ m 2 3. Taking into account the terrestrial, solar neutrino experimental data and the atmospheric neutrino experiments including the sub-GeV and multi-GeV data in SuperKamiokande, large angle solution in the solar neutri...
متن کاملAnalysis of oscillations of atmospheric neutrinos
We briefly review the current status of standard oscillations of atmospheric neutrinos in schemes with two, three, and four flavor mixing. It is shown that, although the pure νμ → ντ channel provides an excellent 2ν fit to the data, one cannot exclude, at present, the occurrence of additional subleading νμ → νe oscillations (3ν schemes) or of sizable νμ → νs oscillations (4ν schemes). It is als...
