26 How to exploit the rate and waves information Oscillometry measurements Standard way to convey the predicted sensitivity of an oscillation experiment Exclusion plotsexploiting orate only (usual approach) orate plus waves (specificity of the present case) oobtained through the likelihood ratio method, testing against the oscillation hypothesis simulated data which insteadareproduced are unaffected by oscillations o Practically derived by comparing the corresponding χ 2 (average data with no oscillation model with oscillation) with the desired quantile (90%, 99%, 99.73%) of the χ 2 distribution with two degrees of freedom
27 Complementary, less used approach: Discovery plots to determine the existence of the effect, exploiting again only the rate or the rate+waves combination oobtained i d through h the likelihood lih ratio method, but testing against the no oscillation hypothesis simulateddata data which instead are produced as affected by oscillations o Practically derived by comparing corresponding χ 2 (average data with oscillation model with no oscillation) with the desired quantile (90%, 99%, 99.73%) of the χ 2 distribution ib ti with two degrees of freedom othe determination of the oscillationparameters is also carried out oexclusion and discovery contours are practically similar At high Δm 2 effectively rate only analysis (in both cases)

49 test sta atistic t Discovery curves Likelihood ratio test statistics to identify the oscillation effect, if exists L ( no oscillation) ) t = 2ln L( oscillation) Example from a specific simulation case: Δm 2 =1 sin 2 2θ=0.2 Blind search over Δm 2 and sin 2 2θ 160 Cr51 10 MCi Δm 2 =1 sin 2 2θ= Cr51 10 MCi Δm 2 =1 sin 2 2θ= Δm Oscillation effect unambiguously detected True parameters correctly identified sin 2 2θ
50 Why consider explicitly the discovery scenario? It provides a more suitable framework to address the request coming from the community to illustrate the sensitivity of the proposed p experiments to an existing effect in term of actual discovery capability Eligio Lisi talk at TAUP 2011
51 Limiting factor of the discovery capability Since the maximum of the test statistic t over the spanned region of the oscillation parameters is the criterion to define a discovery, the corresponding limiting factor is represented by the distribution of t when actually there is no oscillation (this is equivalent to the noise distribution in a signal over noise search) MC distributions The no oscillation curve follows closely the expected ideal χ 2 (2) distribution The threshold is set in this example for a three sigma detection Δm 2 =5 3σ threshold sin 2 2θ=0.11 sin 2 2θ=0.2 no oscillation sin 2 2θ= t= 2ln(Lnum/Lden) When t is found above the threshold discovery is declared. For a given Δm 2 the boundary between the no discovery and discovery regions of the parameter sin 2 2θ is its specific value at which discovery happens 50% of the times, e.g in this example
52 Example of individual simulations Cr51 in position B The fit allows also to determine precisely the oscillation parameters

57 Status of the material for the Cr51 source and investigations in progress The isotopically enriched Cr (40% Cr50) material is stored at Saclay in form of small chips for a total of 35.5 Kg It is perfectly suited to undergo a new irradiation We are currently in contact with Michel Cribier and the Saclay group in order to bring back the material to Italy. It will be stored in a special location while waiting for the new irradiation campaign : Forli company Protex SPA Shipping company : MIT nucleare the same Company can do the transportation after the irradiation (it will be needed a special Transport Container ) We have contacted the LNGS expert for handling of radioactive material Luciano Lembo (involved also in the Gallex calibration) to discuss boththe the issues connected with the transportation of the a) inert and b) activated Cr material: transport regulations and authorizations complex but addressable matter
58 Search of an irradiation facility Research reactor A) High thermal neutron flux throughout the entire target ideally 1E15 n/cm2/sec / B) Enough space to accommodate the material C) Flexible enough to allow the reconfiguration of the core The Siloe reactor at Grenoble met this requirements, but it is no longer available, no other suitable reactors available in France We visited the Delft reactor (Netherland) which meets the requirements B and C, but not A cost would have been very limited We visited the Petten reactor (Netherland), promising, complete feasibility evaluation being started Possibility in USA : the Advanced Test Reactor at Idaho National Laboratory, featuring neutron fluxes at the required dlevell
59 Further considerations Opportunities in Russia are being investigated as well additional transportation difficulties Starting point GNO 2001proposal for irradiation at SM3 reactor of Dimitrovgrad cost estimate was 1.3 M$ of dollars kick off meeting in Moscow at the beginning of July More investigations required for the anti ν sources: Sr90 can be available from the Companies who separate it from the other fissions products Experience in Russia (heating equipments upto 1993) The same consideration apply to the very recent proposal of Ru106 and Ce144 sources Joint (with potential suppliers) feasibility studies of the source preparation and delivery to be started imminently
60 Conclusions Borexino is in a very favorable position to address the hot topic of possible short baseline ν e disappearance due to oscillation to sterile via a series of neutrino source tests, through which perform powerful oscillometry measurements exclusion and discovery plots In a first step a totally non invasive measurement can be performed by deploying externally a source in the Tunnel underneath the Water Tank specifically prepared for this purpose during the construction of the detector, affording already an interesting sensitivity limit capable to address the Gallium anomaly and to start the exploration of the reactor anomaly Alternative for the first phase: source immersed in water in the Water Tank In the post solar phase scenario the source(s) can be deployed in the center and the target volume increased achieving the ultimate sensitivity capable to cover a wide region of the oscillation parameter plane, thus fully addressing the reactor anomaly indication We have started the investigation for the source(s) preparation and procurement. For Cr51 Gallex experience and GNO proposal of 2001 Opportunity for LNGS to maintain and strengthen the leadership role gained through the Gallex GNO and Borexino results in the solar neutrino sector
