Testing Flavor Changing Neutrino Interactions in Long Baseline Experiments
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have investigated the possibility of discerning mass from flavor changing neutrino interactions induced νμ → ντ oscillations in the long baseline neutrino experiments K2K and MINOS. We have found that for virtually any value of the flavor conserving parameter ǫ it will be possible to, independently, distinguish these two mechanisms at K2K, if the flavor changing parameter ǫ is in the range ǫ >∼ 0.77, and at MINOS, if ǫ >∼ 0.2. Moreover, if K2K measures a depletion of the expected νμ flux then MINOS will either observe or discard completely flavor changing neutrino oscillations.

The Solar Neutrino Problem in the Presence of Flavor Changing Neutrino Interactions
We study the effects of flavor changing neutrino interactions on the resonant conversion of solar neutrinos. In particular, we describe how the regions in the ∆m − sin 2θ plane that are consistent with the four solar neutrino experiments are modified for different strengths of New Physics neutrino interactions.
متن کاملFlavor changing neutrino interactions and CP violation in neutrino oscillations
We investigate the interference effects of non-standard neutrino matter interactions (NSNI) with the mass-induced neutrino oscillations. The NSNI is composed of flavor-changing neutrino interactions (FCNI) and flavor-diagonal neutrino interactions (FDNI). Both of the interactions are introduced in the νμ − ντ sector and the νe−νμ sector in order to study their effects in νμ → ντ and νμ → νe osc...
متن کاملTests of three-flavor mixing in long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments.
We compare the effectiveness of various tests of three-flavor mixing in future long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments. We analyze a representative case of mixing in a simplified three-flavor scheme, whose relevant parameters are one neutrino mass-square difference, m, and two mixing angles, ψ and φ. We show that an unambiguous determination of ψ and φ requires flavor-appearance tests in...

We review the status of the solutions to neutrino anomalies by flavor-changing as well as flavor-diagonal neutrino interactions. While it is difficult to explain the atmospheric neutrino data the solar neutrino data can be well accounted for by the massless neutrino oscillation induced by such non-standard neutrino interactions. We also discuss the possibility to test such kind of interactions ...
متن کاملNew Formulation of Matter Effects on Neutrino Mixing and CP Violation
Within the framework of three lepton families we have derived an exact and compact formula to describe the matter effect on neutrino mixing and CP violation. This modeland parametrization-independent result can be particularly useful for recasting the fundamental lepton flavor mixing matrix from a variety of long-baseline neutrino experiments.
