Measuring the ν μ to ν μ Ratio in a High Statistics Atmospheric Neutrino Experiment

چکیده
By exploiting differences in muon lifetimes it is possible to distinguish ν µ from ν µ charged current interactions in underground neutrino detectors. Such observations would be a useful tool in understanding the source of the atmospheric neutrino anomaly.

Testing maximal electron and muon neutrino oscillations with sub-GeV SuperKamiokande atmospheric neutrino data
Motivated by the Exact Parity Model and other theories, the hypothesis that each of the known neutrinos oscillates maximally with a sterile partner has been put forward as an explanation of the atmospheric and solar neutrino anomalies. We provide detailed predictions for muon and electron flux ratios induced in the Kamiokande and SuperKamiokande detectors by sub-GeV atmospheric neutrinos. Sever...
متن کاملNeutrino Mass Spectrum with ν μ → ν s Oscillations of Atmospheric Neutrinos
We consider the " standard " spectrum of the active neutrinos (characterized by strong mass hierarchy and small mixing) with additional sterile neutrino, ν s , which mixes strongly with muon neutrino, so that ν µ ↔ ν s oscillations solve the atmospheric neutrino problem. The parametric enhancement of the ν µ ↔ ν s oscillations occurs for the high energy atmospheric neutrinos which cross the cor...
متن کاملRESIDUAL OF IDEALS OF AN L-RING
The concept of right (left) quotient (or residual) of an ideal η by anideal ν of an L-subring μ of a ring R is introduced. The right (left) quotients areshown to be ideals of μ . It is proved that the right quotient [η :r ν ] of an idealη by an ideal ν of an L-subring μ is the largest ideal of μ such that[η :r ν ]ν ⊆ η . Most of the results pertaining to the notion of quotients(or residual) of ...
متن کاملEffects for atmospheric neutrino experiments from electron neutrino oscillations
The minimal interpretation of the atmospheric neutrino data suggests that the muon neutrino oscillates into another species with a mixing angle close to the maximal π/4. In the Exact Parity Symmetric Model, both the muon and electron neutrinos are expected to be maximally mixed with essentially sterile partners (ν ′ μ and ν ′ e respectively). We examine the impact of maximal νe − ν ′ e oscillat...
متن کاملDiscriminating between ν μ ↔ ν τ and ν μ ↔ ν sterile in atmospheric ν μ oscillations with the Super – Kamiokande detector
Discriminating between ν µ ↔ ν τ and ν µ ↔ ν sterile in atmospheric ν µ oscillations with the Super–Kamiokande detector. Abstract. A strong body of evidence now exists for atmospheric ν µ disappearance oscillations. Such disappearance could be explained by oscillations to either ν τ or a " sterile " neutrino (ν s). Super–Kamiokande uses three different methods to distinguish between these two s...
