CPT violating neutrinos in the light of KamLAND
نویسندگان
چکیده
The KamLAND collaboration has observed a medium baseline oscillation signal for reactor antineutrinos. We show that a hierarchical CPT violating neutrino spectrum can simultaneously accommodate the oscillation data from LSND, atmospheric, solar and KamLAND, as well as the nonobservation of antineutrino disappearance in short baseline reactor experiments. In our scenario the KamLAND experiment is not observing an LMA solar oscillation signal. Instead the KamLAND oscillation signal is due to an independent mass splitting in the antineutrino spectrum. A larger antineutrino mass splitting accounts for the LSND signal and also contributes to atmospheric oscillations.

CPT violating neutrinos in the light of KamLAND and Super-K
We show that a hierarchical CPT violating neutrino spectrum can simultaneously accommodate all published neutrino data, including the LSND result, with a total χ which is almost identical to the CPT conserving best fit. In our scenario the oscillation signal seen by the KamLAND experiment in antineutrinos is independent of the LMA solar oscillation signal seen in neutrinos. A larger antineutrin...
متن کاملStatus of neutrino oscillations II: How to reconcile the LSND result?
We present an analysis of the global neutrino oscillation data including the LSND result in terms of four-neutrino mass schemes and a CPT violating three-neutrino framework. We find that the strong preference of oscillations into active neutrinos implied by recent solar+KamLAND as well as atmospheric neutrino data allows to rule out (2+2) mass schemes at 5.8σ, whereas (3+1) schemes are disfavou...
متن کاملLorentz and CPT violation: a simple neutrino-oscillation model
We present a three-parameter model for three flavors of massless left-handed neutrinos with Fermi-point splitting and tri-maximal mixing angles. One of these parameters is the T–violating phase δ, for which the experimental results from K2K and KamLAND appear to favor a nonzero value. Future experiments, in particular MINOS, will be able to test this simple model. Possible implications for neut...
متن کاملStatus of CPT-violating neutrinos
We review the status of CPT violation in the neutrino sector. Apart from LSND, current data favors three flavors of light stable neutrinos and antineutrinos, with both halves of the spectrum having one smaller mass splitting and one larger mass splitting. Oscillation data for the smaller splitting is consistent with CPT . For the larger splitting, current data favor an antineutrino mass-squared...
