چکیده

We discuss ways to explore non-standard interactions (NSI) which neutrinos may possess by expressing them as effective four Fermi operators with coefficient of the order of (MW /MNP ) 2 ∼ 10(10) for energy scales of new physics as MNP ∼ 1(10) TeV. Neutrino Factory is a prime candidate for such apparatus that can reach to the extreme precision. I describe a two detector setting, one at baseline L ∼ 3000 km and the other at L ∼ 7000 km, which is able to solve the notorious θ13−NSI confusion, and possibly also the two-phase confusion. The resultant sensitivities to off-diagonal NSI elements ε’s are excellent, |εeτ | ≃ a few × 10 and |εeμ| ≃ a few × 10. Our results suggest a new picture of neutrino factory as a hunting machine for NSI while keeping its potential of precision measurement of lepton mixing parameters. Sensitivities to NSI by T2KK and the related settings are also discussed.

Non-standard Interactions: Atmospheric versus Neutrino Factory Experiments

We consider the potential of a generic neutrino factory (NUFACT) in probing non– standard neutrino–matter interactions (NSI). We find that the sensitivity to flavourchanging (FC) NSI can be substantially improved with respect to present atmospheric neutrino data, especially at energies higher than approximately 50 GeV, where the effect of the tau mass is small. For example, a 100 GeV NUFACT can...

Probing new physics with coherent neutrino scattering off nuclei

The possibility off measuring for the first time neutrino-nuclei coherent scattering has been recently discussed by several experimental collaborations. It is shown that such a measurement may be very sensitive to non-standard interactions of neutrinos with quarks and might set better constraints than those coming from future neutrino factory experiments. We also comment on other types of new p...

CP Violation and Neutrino Oscillations

We review the basic mechanisms of neutrino mass generation and the corresponding structure of the lepton mixing matrix. We summarize the status of three-neutrino oscillation parameters as determined from current observations, using state-of-the-art solar and atmospheric neutrino fluxes, as well as latest experimental data as of September 2007. We also comment on recent attempts to account for t...

Testing non-standard CP violation in neutrino propagation

Non-standard physics which can be described by effective four fermion interactions may be an additional source of CP violation in the neutrino propagation. We discuss the detectability of such a CP violation at a neutrino factory. We assume the current baseline setup of the international design study of a neutrino factory (IDS-NF) for the simulation. We find that the CP violation from certain n...

We discuss the physics of superbeam upgrades, where we focus on T2KK, a NuMI beam line based experiment NOνA*, and a wide band beam (WBB) experiment independent of the NuMI beam line. For T2KK, we find that the Japan-Korea baseline helps resolve parameter degeneracies, but the improvement due to correlated systematics between the two detectors (using identical detectors) is only moderate. For a...
