Neutrino Oscillation Physics

The NuMI Off-Axis $\nu_e$ Appearance (\nova) experiment, currently under construction, is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment optimized for the measurement of $\nu_\mu \rightarrow \nu_e$ appearance. The experiment consists of two nearly identical fully-active liquid-scintillator tracking calorimeter detectors separated by 810 km and exposed to an upgraded 700 kW NuMI beam from...

Neutrino Oscillation Physics

The LAGUNA-LBNO European design study aims at defining a deep underground neutrino observatory for the study of neutrino oscillations at long baselines, the investigation of the Grand Unification of elementary forces and for the detection of known and unknown astrophysical sources of neutrinos. For the neutrino oscillation studies, the project is specifically considering long baseline neutrino...

36. MIND: A Detector for Probing CP Violation at a Neutrino Factory.

Dr Ryan Bayes (University of Glasgow)

21/08/2013, 09:10

Neutrino Oscillation Physics

A neutrino factory provides a well defined neutrino beam with a wide range of oscillation channels for the direct detection of CP violation in the neutrino sector. To make use of this beam, a detector must have excellent charge discrimination capabilities because the un-oscillated background has the same flavour, but with the opposite charge to the signal. A magnetic field is required to...

Dr Wei Wang (William and Mary)

21/08/2013, 13:30

Neutrino Oscillation Physics

The value of the last mixing angle theta13 has been measured the Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment, followed by consistent results from RENO and Double Chooz. Its large value, compared with most speculated values before its discovery, creates a unique opportunity in resolving neutrino mass hierarchy (MH) using medium-baseline reactor antineutrino experiments employing massive liquid...

2. Confidence in the Neutrino Mass Hierarchy

Prof. Jarah Evslin (Institute of High Energy Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences)

21/08/2013, 13:55

Neutrino Oscillation Physics

Analyses of neutrino mass hierarchy determinations at future experiments determine an expected Delta Chi^2. As the hierarchy is a discrete choice, and not a continuous degree of freedom, this Delta Chi^2 does not obey Wilks' theorem. As a consequence it does not follow a chi^2 distribution and its square root is not the number s of sigmas of confidence that can be expected. I will present a...

20. Studying Low Energy Neutrinos at the South Pole with the PINGU Detector

Dr Kenneth Clark (University of Toronto)

21/08/2013, 14:20

Neutrino Oscillation Physics

IceCube and its low energy extension DeepCore have been deployed at the South Pole and taking data since early 2011. DeepCore provides a neutrino energy threshold of about 10 GeV, which allows IceCube to access a rich variety of physics including indirectly searching for WIMP dark matter and studying atmospheric neutrinos. Currently under consideration is a new in-fill array named PINGU,...

Dr Toshihiko Ota (Saitama University)

22/08/2013, 09:10

If the standard model is an effective model of a fundamental theory realized at high energy scales, the full Lagrangian that describes physics at the electroweak scale should contain the series of higher-dimensional operators whose mass dimensions are higher than four. Such effective interactions suppressed by the inverse power of new physics scale $\Lambda_{NP}$ are typical low-energy remnant...
