Sub-percent precision measurement of neutrino oscillation parameters with JUNO

Feasibility and physics potential of detecting 8B solar neutrinos at JUNO
2021
The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) features a 20 kt multi-purpose underground liquid scintillator sphere as its main detector. Some of JUNO's features make it an excellent location for B-8 solar neutrino measurements, such as its low-energy threshold, high energy resolution compared with water Cherenkov detectors, and much larger target mass compared with previous liquid scintillator detectors. In this paper, we present a comprehensive assessment of JUNO's potential for detecting B solar neutrinos via the neutrino-electron elastic scattering process. A reduced 2 MeV threshold for the recoil electron energy is found to be achievable, assuming that the intrinsic radioactive …
MEG induced activation measures in describing auditory cortex maturation
2015
Kuuloaivokuoren ärsykkeisiin liittyvien neuraalisten oskillaatioiden kehitystä ihmisellä ei vielä täysin tunneta. Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena on kuvata auditorisen prosessoinnin kehitystä induced-aktivaation ja phase-locking-arvon avulla. Koehenkilöt olivat 6–13,5-vuotiailta lapsia (N=36) sekä aikuisia (N=11). Koko pään kattavaa magnetoenkefalografiaa (MEG) käytettiin nauhoittamaan aivokuoren aktivaatiota passiivisen kuuntelun tehtävän aikana. Osallistujille esitettiin yksinkertaisia siniääniä (1000 Hz, kesto 50 ms) ärsykkeenä erikseen molempiin korviin. Induced-aktivaatiosta ja phase-locking-arvosta laskettiin aika-taajuuskuvat (time-frequency representation) sekä vasemman että oikean he…
Neutriinojen sekoitusmatriisin Majorana-vaiheet
2013
Lukuisat hiukkasfysiikan kokeet ovat vahvistaneet neutriinojen olevan massallisia hiukkasia ja kykenevän muuttumaan neutriinotyypistä toiseen. Tätä niin kutsuttua neutriino-oskillaatiota parametrisoi neutriinojen sekoitusmatriisi, jota puolestaan parametrisoi kolmen sekoituskulman lisäksi yksi tai kolme CP-symmetriaa rikkovaa vaihetta riippuen siitä ovatko neutriinot Dirac- tai Majorana-hiukkasia. Tässä työssä tarkasteltiin edellä mainittujen Dirac- ja Majorana-vaiheiden merkitystä neutriino-oskillaatioissa, neutriinonottomassa kaksoisbeetahajoamisessa, Higgsin triplettimallissa ja baryoniepäsymmetrian synnyttäneessä leptonigeneesissä. Neutriino-oskillaation tarkastelua varten johdettiin ne…
Hippocampal ripple-contingent training accelerates trace eyeblink conditioning and retards extinction in rabbits.
2010
There are at least two distinct oscillatory states of the hippocampus that are related to distinct behavioral patterns. Theta (4–12 Hz) oscillation has been suggested to indicate selective attention during which the animal concentrates on some features of the environment while suppressing reactivity to others. In contrast, sharp-wave ripples (∼200 Hz) can be seen in a state in which the hippocampus is at its most responsive to any kind of afferent stimulation. In addition, external stimulation tends to evoke and reset theta oscillation, the phase of which has been shown to modulate synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus. Theoretically, training on a hippocampus-dependent learning task conti…
Constraining the nonstandard interaction parameters in long baseline neutrino experiments
2016
In this article we investigate the prospects for probing the strength of the possible non-standard neutrino interactions (NSI) in long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments. We find that these experiments are sensitive to NSI couplings down to the level of 0.01-0.1 depending on the oscillation channel and the baseline length, as well as on the detector's fiducial mass. We also investigate the interference of the leptonic CP angle $\delta_{CP}$ with the constraining of the NSI couplings. It is found that the interference is strong in the case of the $\nu_{e}\leftrightarrow\nu_{\mu}$ and $\nu_{e}\leftrightarrow\nu_{\tau}$ transitions but not significant in other transitions. In our numeri…
Neutrino interaction classification with a convolutional neural network in the DUNE far detector
2020
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment is a next-generation neutrino oscillation experiment that aims to measure CP-violation in the neutrino sector as part of a wider physics program. A deep learning approach based on a convolutional neural network has been developed to provide highly efficient and pure selections of electron neutrino and muon neutrino charged-current interactions. The electron neutrino (antineutrino) selection efficiency peaks at 90% (94%) and exceeds 85% (90%) for reconstructed neutrino energies between 2–5 GeV. The muon neutrino (antineutrino) event selection is found to have a maximum efficiency of 96% (97%) and exceeds 90% (95%) efficiency for reconstructed neutrino…
Hippocampal theta activity is selectively associated with contingency detection but not discrimination in rabbit discrimination-reversal eyeblink con…
2010
The relative power of the hippocampal theta-band (∼6 Hz) activity (theta ratio) is thought to reflect a distinct neural state and has been shown to affect learning rate in classical eyeblink conditioning in rabbits. We sought to determine if the theta ratio is mostly related to the detection of the contingency between the stimuli used in conditioning or also to the learning of more complex inhibitory associations when a highly demanding delay discrimination-reversal eyeblink conditioning paradigm is used. A high hippocampal theta ratio was not only associated with a fast increase in conditioned responding in general but also correlated with slow emergence of discriminative responding due to…
Long-baseline neutrino oscillation physics potential of the DUNE experiment
2020
The sensitivity of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) to neutrino oscillation is determined, based on a full simulation, reconstruction, and event selection of the far detector and a full simulation and parameterized analysis of the near detector. Detailed uncertainties due to the flux prediction, neutrino interaction model, and detector effects are included. DUNE will resolve the neutrino mass ordering to a precision of 5σσ, for all δCPδCP values, after 2 years of running with the nominal detector design and beam configuration. It has the potential to observe charge-parity violation in the neutrino sector to a precision of 3σσ (5σσ) after an exposure of 5 (10) years, for 50% o…
Low exposure long-baseline neutrino oscillation sensitivity of the DUNE experiment
2022
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) will produce world-leading neutrino oscillation measurements over the lifetime of the experiment. In this work, we explore DUNE’s sensitivity to observe charge-parity violation (CPV) in the neutrino sector, and to resolve the mass ordering, for exposures of up to 100 kiloton-megawatt-calendar years (kt-MW-CY), where calendar years include an assumption of 57% accelerator uptime based on past accelerator performance at Fermilab. The analysis includes detailed uncertainties on the flux prediction, the neutrino interaction model, and detector effects. We demonstrate that DUNE will be able to unambiguously resolve the neutrino mass ordering at a 4…
