Modeling realistic Earth matter density for CP violation in neutrino oscillation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We examine the effect of a more realistic Earth matter density model which takes into account of the local density variations along the baseline of a possible 2100 km very long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment. Its influence to the measurement of CP violation is investigated and a comparison with the commonly used global density models made. Significant differences are found in the comparison of the results of the different density models. PCAC 14.60.Pq , 11.30.Er

CP violation and matter effect for a variable earth density in very long baseline experiments
The perturbative treatment of subdominant oscillation and matter effect in neutrino beams/superbeams, propagating over long baselines and being used to look for CP violation, is studied here for a general matter density function varying with distance. New lowest order analytic expressions are given for different flavour transition and survival probabilities in a general neutrino mixing basis an...
متن کاملEarth matter density uncertainty in atmospheric neutrino oscillations
Abstract That muon neutrinos νμ oscillating into the mixture of tau neutrinos ντ and sterile neutrinos νs has been studied to explain the atmospheric νμ disappearance. In this scenario, the effect of Earth matter is a key to determine the fraction of νs. Considering that the Earth matter density has uncertainty and this uncertainty has significant effects in some neutrino oscillation cases, suc...
متن کاملLeptonic CP Violation measurement at the neutrino factory
In this talk, based on the work [1], we refine our previous analysis [2] of the sensitivity to leptonic CP violation and θ13 at a neutrino factory in the LMA-MSW scenario, by exploring the full range of these two parameters. We have discovered that there exist, at fixed neutrino energy, Eν , and baseline, L, degenerate solutions. Although the spectral analysis helps in disentangling fake from t...

We propose a statistical formulation to estimate possible errors in long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments caused by uncertainties in the Earth matter density. A quantitative investigation of the effect is made on the CP asymmetry in future neutrino factory experiments. Leptonic CP violation (CPV) is one of the main challenges in future long baseline (LBL) neutrino oscillation experimen...
متن کاملBreaking Eight–fold Degeneracies in Neutrino CP Violation, Mixing, and Mass Hierarchy
We identify three independent two-fold parameter degeneracies (δ , θ13), sgn(δm31) and (θ23 , π/2 − θ23) inherent in the usual three–neutrino analysis of long–baseline neutrino experiments, which can lead to as much as an eight–fold degeneracy in the determination of the oscillation parameters. We discuss the implications these degeneracies have for detecting CP violation and present criteria f...
