Four species neutrino oscillations at nu-Factory: sensitivity and CP-violation

1999

The prospects of measuring the leptonic angles and CP-odd phases at a {\em neutrino factory} are discussed in the scenario of three active plus one sterile neutrino. We consider the $\nu_\mu \raw \nu_e$ LSND signal. Its associated large mass difference leads to observable neutrino oscillations at short ($\sim 1$ km) baseline experiments. Sensitivities to the leptonic angles down to $10^{-3}$ can be easily achieved with a 1 Ton detector. Longer baseline experiments ($\sim 100$ km) with a 1 Kton detector can provide very clean tests of CP-violation especially through tau lepton detection.

Determining the neutrino mass with cyclotron radiation emission spectroscopy—Project 8

2017

The most sensitive direct method to establish the absolute neutrino mass is observation of the endpoint of the tritium beta-decay spectrum. Cyclotron Radiation Emission Spectroscopy (CRES) is a precision spectrographic technique that can probe much of the unexplored neutrino mass range with $\mathcal{O}({\rm eV})$ resolution. A lower bound of $m(\nu_e) \gtrsim 9(0.1)\, {\rm meV}$ is set by observations of neutrino oscillations, while the KATRIN Experiment - the current-generation tritium beta-decay experiment that is based on Magnetic Adiabatic Collimation with an Electrostatic (MAC-E) filter - will achieve a sensitivity of $m(\nu_e) \lesssim 0.2\,{\rm eV}$. The CRES technique aims to avoid…

Non-standard interactions with high-energy atmospheric neutrinos at IceCube

2017

Non-standard interactions in the propagation of neutrinos in matter can lead to significant deviations from expectations within the standard neutrino oscillation framework and atmospheric neutrino detectors have been considered to set constraints. However, most previous works have focused on relatively low-energy atmospheric neutrino data. Here, we consider the one-year high-energy through-going muon data in IceCube, which has been already used to search for light sterile neutrinos, to constrain new interactions in the $\mu\tau$-sector. In our analysis we include several systematic uncertainties on both, the atmospheric neutrino flux and on the detector properties, which are accounted for v…

Neutrino Masses and Mixing one Decade from Now

2000

We review the status of neutrino masses and mixings in the light of the solar and atmospheric neutrino data. The result from the LSND experiment is also considered. We discuss the present knowledge and the expected sensitivity to the neutrino mixing parameters in the simplest schemes proposed to reconcile these data some of which include a light sterile neutrino in addition to the three standard ones.

Measurement of theCP-violating phaseβsJ/ψϕinBs0→J/ψϕdecays with the CDF II detector

2012

We present a measurement of the \CP-violating parameter \betas using approximately 6500 $$\BsJpsiPhi$$ decays reconstructed with the CDF\,II detector in a sample of $$p\bar p$$ collisions at $$\sqrt{s}=1.96$$ TeV corresponding to 5.2 fb$$^{-1}$$ integrated luminosity produced by the Tevatron Collider at Fermilab. We find the \CP-violating phase to be within the range $$\betas \in [0.02, 0.52] \cup [1.08, 1.55]$$ at 68% confidence level where the coverage property of the quoted interval is guaranteed using a frequentist statistical analysis. This result is in agreement with the standard model expectation at the level of about one Gaussian standard deviation. We consider the inclusion of a po…

Beam parameter stabilization for the P2 experiment at MESA

2020

Abstract The P2 Experiment at MESA (Mainz Energy-recovering Superconducting Accelerator) will measure the weak mixing angle via electron proton scattering at 155 MeV. The expected measured parity violation asymmetry will be about 40 ppb. This requires a high precision beam diagnostic and control system in order to minimize asymmetries that derive from helicity correlated fluctuations of the beam parameters. A control system for position and angle has been installed and tested at MAMI (Mainz Microtron) and the P2 precision requirements for determining the asymmetry and controlling the transverse beam parameters have been met.

Theoretical results on the double positron decay of 106Cd

2001

Abstract Theoretical results for the double positron decay of 106 Cd are presented. The calculated values for the lateral single-beta-decay feeding patterns and electromagnetic transitions leading to states in 106 Cd and 106 Pd are discussed and compared to the data. The results on the double positron decay of 106 Cd are compared to new experimental limits. Based on the results of the present calculations, we report on the possibility of detecting the EC/EC or the β + /EC decay modes to final J π =0 + states using the improved sensitivity of the planned measurements.

Neutrinoless double beta-decay in the su(4) symmetry scheme

1991

TheSU(4) symmetry scheme, used in a previous paper for the study of the 2v double β decay, is applied to the study of the 0v double β decay. Differences and similarities between the 2 processes are emphasized. The sensitivity to short-range correlations is discussed.

Sensitivity and Efficiency of the INTEGRAL Imager

1995

A detailed simulation program of the INTEGRAL Imager has been written and implemented using the GEANT-3 Monte Carlo code. The expected detection efficiency and continuum sensitivity have been evaluated. The results obtained for the CsI configuration of the Imager are compared with those obtained with the new configuration which foresees a top plane made of CdTe solid state detector elements.
