چکیده
We present a search for signatures of neutrino mixing electron anti-neutrinos with additional hypothetical sterile flavors using the Double Chooz experiment. The is based on data from 5 years operation Chooz, including 2 in two-detector configuration. analysis profile likelihood, i.e.\ comparing to model prediction disappearance data-to-data comparison two respective detectors. optimized three active and one neutrino.

Search for Sterile Neutrinos Mixing with Muon Neutrinos in MINOS.
We report results of a search for oscillations involving a light sterile neutrino over distances of 1.04 and 735 km in a ν_{μ}-dominated beam with a peak energy of 3 GeV. The data, from an exposure of 10.56×10^{20} protons on target, are analyzed using a phenomenological model with one sterile neutrino. We constrain the mixing parameters θ_{24} and Δm_{41}^{2} and set limits on parameters of th...
متن کاملDouble Threefold Degeneracies for Active and Sterile Neutrinos
We explore the possibility that the 3 active (doublet) neutrinos have nearly degenerate masses which are split only by the usual seesaw mechanism from 3 sterile (singlet) neutrinos in the presence of a softly broken A4 symmetry. We take the unconventional view that the sterile neutrinos may be light, i.e. less than 1 keV, and discuss some very interesting and novel phenomenology, including a co...
متن کاملSterile neutrinos
Neutrino masses are usually described by adding to the Standard Model some SU(2)singlet fermions that have the Yukawa couplings, as well as some Majorana mass terms. The number of such fields and the scales of their Majorana masses are not known. Several independent observations point to the possibility that some of these singlets may have masses well below the electroweak scale. A sterile neut...
متن کاملThe Double Chooz Experiment
There is broad consensus in the worldwide physics community as to the need for a new reactor-neutrino experiment to measure or limit the neutrino mixing angle θ13. The Double Chooz Experiment, planned for operation in the years 2008−2011, will search for values of sin2 2θ13 down to ≈0.03. This will be the first new information on θ13 in over a decade and will cover most of the remaining paramet...
متن کاملDouble Chooz Neutrino REU
This paper seeks to explain the set up of the Double Chooz neutrino detection experiment on a basic level, and justify the need for a directionality based analysis of current results. The Double Chooz experiment’s current analysis looks at energies and timing of specific events, and encounters problems with background noise because of non-neutrino neutrino-like events. Incorporating directional...
