چکیده
Is the ν µ → ν s oscillation solution to the atmospheric neutrino anomaly excluded by the superKamiokande data? Abstract Recently the SuperKamiokande collaboration have claimed that their data exclude the ν µ → ν s solution to the atmospheric neutrino anomaly at more than 99% C.L. We critically examine this claim.

Recent atmospheric neutrino data by Superkamiokande [1–3] provide strong evidence for neutrino oscillations. It has been shown [1–3] that atmospheric neutrino data favor νμ ↔ ντ oscillations with maximal mixing, rather than νμ ↔ νe. However, νμ disappearance alone does not imply uniquely a νμ ↔ ντ solution and there is another solution νμ ↔ νs, where νs denotes a sterile neutrino. In this talk ...
متن کاملEffects for atmospheric neutrino experiments from electron neutrino oscillations
The minimal interpretation of the atmospheric neutrino data suggests that the muon neutrino oscillates into another species with a mixing angle close to the maximal π/4. In the Exact Parity Symmetric Model, both the muon and electron neutrinos are expected to be maximally mixed with essentially sterile partners (ν ′ μ and ν ′ e respectively). We examine the impact of maximal νe − ν ′ e oscillat...
متن کاملImplications of the ν μ → ν s solution to the atmospheric neutrino anomaly for early Universe cosmology
Implications of the ν µ → ν s solution to the atmospheric neutrino anomaly for early Universe cosmology Abstract By numerically solving the quantum kinetic equations we compute the range of parameters where the ν µ → ν s oscillation solution to the atmospheric neu-trino anomaly is consistent with a stringent big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) bound of N BBN ef f < ∼ 3.6. We show that this requires ...
متن کاملTesting maximal electron and muon neutrino oscillations with sub-GeV SuperKamiokande atmospheric neutrino data
Motivated by the Exact Parity Model and other theories, the hypothesis that each of the known neutrinos oscillates maximally with a sterile partner has been put forward as an explanation of the atmospheric and solar neutrino anomalies. We provide detailed predictions for muon and electron flux ratios induced in the Kamiokande and SuperKamiokande detectors by sub-GeV atmospheric neutrinos. Sever...
