Can We Learn Something More on Oscillations from Atmospheric Neutrinos?

چکیده
We show that for long-baseline experiments using a Mt water Čerenkov detector atmospheric neutrino data provide a powerful method to resolve parameter degeneracies. In particular, the combination of long-baseline and atmospheric data increases significantly the sensitivity to the neutrino mass hierarchy and the octant of θ23. Furthermore, we discuss the possibility to use μlike atmospheric neutrino data from a big magnetized iron calorimeter to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy.

Parametric 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 Neutrino Constraints on Lorentz Violation
Sensitive tests of Lorentz invariance can emerge from the study of neutrino oscillations, particularly for atmospheric neutrinos where the effect is conveniently near-maximal and has been observed over a wide range of energies. We assume these oscillations to be described in terms of two neutrinos with different masses and (possibly) different maximal attainable velocities (MAVs). It suffices t...
متن کاملSolar and Atmospheric Neutrino Oscillations from Bilinear R-Parity Violation
We discuss general predictions for neutrino masses and mixing angles from R parity violation in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. If the soft supersymmetry breaking terms are flavor blind at short distance, then the leptonic analogue of the CKM matrix depends on only two real parameters, which are completely determined by fits to solar and atmospheric neutrino oscillations. Either the ...

متن کاملParametric resonance in neutrino oscillations in matter ∗
Neutrino oscillations in matter can exhibit a specific resonance enhancement – parametric resonance, which is different from the MSW resonance. Oscillations of atmospheric and solar neutrinos inside the earth can undergo parametric enhancement when neutrino trajectories cross the core of the earth. In this paper we review the parametric resonance of neutrino oscillations in matter. In particula...
