Test of the equivalence principle from neutrino oscillation experiments.
We consider the hypothesis that neutrino oscillation data can be explained if the gravitational couplings of (massless or degenerate mass) neutrinos are flavour non–diagonal, in violation of the equivalence principle. We analyze the various neutrino oscillation laboratory experimental data including the recent LSND observations to constrain the relevant parameter space. We find that there is no...
متن کاملA Test of a Kind of the Equivalence Principle by Long-baseline Neutrino-oscillation Experiments
In this talk I discuss neutrino oscillations due to possible nonuniversality of the gravitational coupling constants. It has been pointed out [1] [2] that a breakdown of the universality of the gravitational couplings to different neutrino flavors could lead to neutrino oscillations. In particular the authors of [2] studied the possibility in which the solar neutrinos can be used to test this k...
متن کاملA Test of the Equivalence Principle by Long-baseline Neutrino-oscillation Experiments
We show that a breakdown of the universality of the gravitational couplings to different neutrino flavors can be tested in long-baseline neutrinooscillation experiments. In particular we have analyzed in detail a proposed experiment at SOUDAN 2 with νμ beams from the Fermilab Main Injector. It turns out that we can study both masses of neutrinos and such a breakdown with sensitivity to the orde...
متن کاملNeutrino mass spectrum from the results of neutrino oscillation experiments
All the possible schemes of neutrino mixing with four massive neutrinos inspired by the existing experimental indications in favor of neutrino mixing are considered in a model independent way. Assuming that in short-baseline experiments only one mass-squared difference is relevant, it is shown that the scheme with a neutrino mass hierarchy is not compatible with the experimental results. Only t...
متن کاملNeutrino masses and mixing from neutrino oscillation experiments
We discuss which information on neutrino masses and mixing can be obtained from the results of all neutrino oscillation experiments in the cases of three and four massive neutrinos. We show that in the three-neutrino case the neutrino oscillation data are not compatible with a hierarchy of couplings. In the case of four neutrinos, a hierarchy of masses is disfavored by the data and only two sch...
