Nuclear propelled vessels and neutrino oscillation experiments.

چکیده
We study the effect of naval nuclear reactors on the study of neutrino oscillations. We find that the presence of naval reactors at unknown locations and times may limit the accuracy of future very long baseline reactor-based neutrino oscillation experiments. At the same time, we argue that a nuclear powered surface ship such as a large Russian icebreaker may provide an ideal source for precision experiments.

Neutrino Oscillation Experiments at Nuclear Reactors
In this paper I give an overview of the status of neutrino oscillation experiments performed using nuclear reactors as sources of neutrinos. I review the present generation of experiments (Chooz and Palo Verde) with baselines of about 1 km as well as the next generation that will search for oscillations with a baseline of about 100 km. While the present detectors provide essential input towards...
متن کاملLong baseline neutrino oscillation experiments
Evidences for neutrino oscillations coming from atmospheric and solar observations can be probed by terrestrial long baseline experiments. This requires accelerator beams or nuclear power plants. The current status of these searches as well as future activities are discussed. A precise determination of all matrix elements and searches for a leptonic CP-violation will be possible with high inten...
متن کاملNeutrino mixing from neutrino oscillation data
We show that the existing neutrino oscillation data are in favour of the schemes with mixing of four massive neutrinos and that only two of these schemes, with two pairs of neutrinos with close masses separated by a gap of about 1 eV, are compatible with all data. Possible implications of these schemes for future experiments are discussed. Talk presented by S.M. Bilenky at the Erice School on N...
متن کاملExperimental status of neutrino scattering physics and needed measurements
Knowledge of neutrino interactions with a nuclear target at the neutrino energy around sub-GeV is recently getting more and more important as necessary information for accelerator based neutrino oscillation experiments. A study of neutrino interactions contains rich physics of neutrinos with nucleus, and is used to reveal the properties of neutrinos in the oscillation measurements. We review th...
متن کاملNeutrino Experiments
Recent studies of neutrino oscillations have established the existence of finite neutrino masses and mixing between generations of neutrinos [1]. The combined results from studies of atmospheric neutrinos, solar neutrinos, reactor antineutrinos and neutrinos produced at accelerators paint an intriguing picture that clearly requires modification of the standard model of particle physics. These r...
