New Matter Effects in Neutrino Oscillation Experiments
نویسنده
چکیده
Consequences of a new force mediated by a light scalar particle for neutrino oscillation experiments are considered. Such a force could give rise to neutrino masses and mixings whose matter dependence is much more significant than the MSW effect. We consider the effects of such a new force on the limits derived from oscillation experiments, and examine how the constraints on neutrino models are altered. Re-analysis of neutrino data, as well as new experiments in which large matter effects are systematically explored, is required to directly probe such physics beyond the standard model.

Long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments and CP violation in the lepton sector
We discuss possibilities to investigate the effects of CP (and T) violation in the lepton sector in neutrino oscillation experiments. We consider the effects of CP violation in the framework of two schemes of mixing of four massive neutrinos that can accommodate the results of all neutrino oscillation experiments. Using the constraints on the mixing parameters that follow from the results of sh...
متن کاملEffects on Neutrino Oscillations in Long Baseline Experiments
We calculate matter effects on neutrino oscillations relevant for long baseline experiments. In particular, we compare the results obtained with constant density along the neutrino path versus results obtained by incorporating the actual density profiles in the Earth. We study the dependence of the oscillation signal on both E/∆m2atm and on the angles in the leptonic mixing matrix. We also comm...
متن کاملCP - and T -Violation Effects in Long Baseline Neutrino Oscillation Experiments
We examine how large CP and T -violation effects are allowed in long baseline neutrino experiments with three generations of neutrinos, considering both the solar neutrino deficit and the atmospheric neutrino anomaly. We considerd two cases: When we attribute only the atmospheric neutrino anomaly to neutrino oscillation and assume the constant transition probability of νe to explain the solar n...
متن کاملSearching for new physics in future neutrino factory experiments
An extension of the new standard model, by introducing a mixing of the low mass “active” neutrinos with heavy ones, or by any model with lepton flavor violation, is considered. This leads to nonorthogonal neutrino production and detection states and to modifications of neutrino oscillations in both vacuum and matter. The possibility of the discovery of such effects in current and future neutrin...
متن کاملNon-Standard Neutrino Interactions and Neutrino Oscillation Experiments
In analyzing neutrino oscillation experiments it is often assumed that while new physics contributes to neutrino masses, neutrino interactions are given by the Standard Model. We develop a formalism to study new physics effects in neutrino interactions using oscillation experiments. We argue that the notion of branching ratio is not appropriate in this case. We show that a neutrino appearance e...
