Supernova Neutrinos, Lsnd and Miniboone

چکیده
The unique constraints on neutrino oscillations which can be obtained by measuring the energy spectrum of supernova ν̄e’s are first discussed. The focus is on 4-neutrino mass and mixing models capable of explaining the LSND evidence of ν̄μ → ν̄e oscillations. The potential of the Fermilab neutrino detector MiniBooNE to observe supernova neutrinos is then addressed, and a general description of the detector is given. As of May, 2002, the MiniBooNE detector is fully operational.

Neutrino oscillations have been established in solar and atmospheric neutrinos, but a third signal from the LSND experiment is incompatible with three Standard Model neutrinos. The MiniBooNE experiment can confirm or refute the LSND oscillation signal with 1 × 10 21 protons on target. While working towards the oscillation result, MiniBooNE will accumulate more than 1 × 10 6 neutrino interaction...
متن کاملConfronting mass-varying neutrinos with MiniBooNE
We study the proposal that mass-varying neutrinos could provide an explanation for the LSND signal for ν̄μ → ν̄e oscillations. We first point out that all positive oscillation signals occur in matter and that three active mass-varying neutrinos are insufficient to describe all existing neutrino data including LSND. We then examine the possibility that a model with four mass-varying neutrinos (thr...
متن کاملMiniBooNE and Sterile Neutrinos
Sterile neutrinos may be an important extension to the standard model, and could both hold the key to understanding neutrino mass and mixing as well as play an important role in leptogenesis. In many models, the sterile neutrinos could be light and accessible to current and near term experiments. The MiniBooNE experiment is set up to explore these possibilities in the ∆m region from 0.3 to a fe...
متن کاملShort Baseline Neutrino Oscillations and a New Light Gauge Boson
We consider a model of neutrino oscillations with three additional sterile neutrinos and a gauged B − L interaction. We find allowed values of the model parameters which can reconcile the results of the evidence for ν̄μ → ν̄e conversion seen at the LSND neutrino oscillation experiment with the null results of the MiniBooNE experiment. A portion of the low energy excess of νe events seen at MiniBo...
متن کاملSterile neutrino oscillations after first MiniBooNE results
In view of the recent results from the MiniBooNE experiment we revisit the global neutrino oscillation fit to short-baseline neutrino data by adding one or two sterile neutrinos with eV-scale masses to the three Standard Model neutrinos, and for the first time we consider also the global fit with three sterile neutrinos. Four-neutrino oscillations of the (3+1) type have been only marginally all...
