چکیده

We study in detail the power of the reactor experiment kamLAND for discriminating existing solutions to the SNP and giving accurate information on neutrino masses and mixing angles. Assuming the expected signal corresponding to various “benchmark” points in the 2 dimensional (∆m2, tan2 θ) mixing plane, we develop a full-fledged χ2 analysis which include KamLAND spectrum and all the existing solar evidence. A complete modelling of statistical and known systematics errors for 1 and 3 years of data taking is included, exclusion plots are presented. We find a much higher sensitivity especially for values of ∆m2 lying in the central part of the LMA region. The situation would be more complicate for values closer to the border of the LMA region (the so called HLMA region, i.e. ∆m2 ≤ 2 × 105 and ∆m2 ≥ 8 − 9 × 10−5 or tan2θ far from tan2 θ = 0.5). In this case kamLAND, with or without solar evidence, will be able only to select multiple regions in the parameter space, in the sense that different possible values of the parameters would produce the same signal.

LMA MSW solution of the solar neutrino problem and first KamLAND results

The first KamLAND results are in a very good agreement with the predictions made on the basis of the solar neutrino data and the LMA realization of the MSW mechanism. We perform a combined analysis of the KamLAND (rate, spectrum) and the solar neutrino data with a free boron neutrino flux fB. The best fit values of neutrino parameters are ∆m2 = 7.3 · 10−5 eV2, tan2 θ = 0.41 and fB = 1.05 with t...

Update of the Solar Neutrino Oscillation Analysis with the 766 Ty KamLAND Spectrum

We investigate the impact of the 766.3 Ty KamLAND spectrum data on the determination of the solar neutrino oscillation parameters. We show that the observed spectrum distortion in the KamLAND experiment firmly establishes ∆m21 to lie in the low-LMA solution region. The high-LMA solution is excluded at more than 4σ by the global solar neutrino and KamLAND spectrum data. The maximal solar neutrin...

Solar neutrinos: the SNO salt phase results and physics of conversion

We have performed analysis of the solar neutrino data including results from the SNO salt phase as well as the combined analysis of the solar and the KamLAND results. The best fit values of neutrino parameters are ∆m2 = 7.1 · 10−5 eV2, tan2 θ = 0.40 with the boron flux fB = 1.04. New SNO results strongly disfavor maximal mixing and the h-LMA region (∆m2 > 10−4 eV2) which is accepted now at the ...

Precision measurement of oscillation parameters with reactors

We review the potential of long and intermediate baseline reactor neutrino experiments in measuring the mass and mixing parameters. The KamLAND experiment can measure the solar mass squared difference very precisely. However it is not at the ideal baseline for measuring the solar neutrino mixing angle. If low-LMA is confirmed by the next results from KamLAND, a reactor experiment with a baselin...

After Sno and before Kamland: Present and Future of Solar and Reactor Neutrino Physics

We present a short review of the existing evidence in favor of neutrino mass and neutrino oscillations which come from different kinds of experiments. We focus our attention in particular on solar neutrinos, presenting a review of some recent analysis of all available neutrino oscillation evidence in Solar experiments including the recent SNO CC and NC data. We present in detail the power of th...
