2 Particle Properties Interactions Flavors & States Charge Spin Particle Type Mass
3 N N + e - M parent c 2 E daughter + E electron some nuclei emit electrons! 1914 KE electron = M parent c 2 - M daughter c 2 - m electron c 2
4 Postulate of the Neutrino 1930 Wolfgang Pauli Princeton University Pauli proposed that an undetectable particle shared the energy of beta decay with the emitted electron.
5 Neutrinos Don t Matter to Chemists
6 Fermi s Theory of Beta Decay Enrico Fermi Univ. of Chicago Fermi s Theory of Beta Decay based on Pauli s Letter of Regrets Experiment: Conjecture: M n c 2 E p + E e M n c 2 = E p + E e + E ν Consistency requires that E ν is not observable! Fermi s theory still stands (parity violation added in the 50s).
7 Weak Interactions in the Standard Model The weak gauge bosons W ± act on left-handed doublets (charged-current interaction) β-decay Since m w =80.4 GeV >> m p decay is governed by Fermi coupling G F Fermi coupling G F 2 = g m W Weinberg angle g 2 = W gauge coupling e g 2 = sinθ W = 0.48
8 Fermi s Idea for Measuring m ν
9 First Direct Detection of the (Anti)Neutrino Reines and Cowan 1956 ν e + p e + + n ν ν µ
10 Discovery of Muon Neutrino 1962 Lederman, Schwarts, Steinberger spark chamber with Al plates 20 m µ produce nice tracks as they go through the chamber (29 events) e produce showers as they cross Al (0 events) 10 4 ν µ and ν µ
11 Muon Neutrino Mass Studies Current best limit from studies of the kinematics of π µ ν decay p µ 2 + m µ 2 = (m π 2 + m µ 2 m ν 2 ) 2 /4m π 2 Can use π-decay: At Rest: Mass of π is dominate uncertainty In Flight: Resolution on p π p µ limited experimentally Best mass limit is from π-decay at rest < 170 kev at 95% CL (Assamagan et al., PRD 1996) New BNL Experiment using g-2 setup (sensitivity for > 8 kev)
12 Proposed BNL NuMass Experiment BNL g-2 Neutrino Mass Experiment m(ν µ ) < 8 kev/c 2 Forward-going decay muons orbit a larger diameter by ΔD CM ν µ π µ q = 29.7 MeV/c undecayed pions D ΔD p µ - p π 0.7 MeV/c 3.26 mm D p π 3 GeV/c 14 m non-zero m ν shrinks ΔD decay µ s ΔD δd depends on m(ν) δd -m ν 2 D 2 q m π 0.04 mm for current limit
13 Number of Active Neutrinos Precision studies of Z-line shape, determine number of active light neutrinos Each separate (νli)l adds to total Z-width. From LEP, one finds: tly! c e r i N ν= ±0.008 dd e t c e t which argues strongly for only having 3 generations as ν τ de re w Befo Big bang nucleosynthesis gives a constraint on the effective number of light neutrinos at T~ 1 MeV: 1.2 < N νeff < 3.3 [99% CL] Because mixing effects are likely to bring sterile neutrinos into equilibrium, above suggests that the number of (νli)r is also limited to 3. Karsten Heeger, LBNL CWRU - April 30, 2004
14 Search for tau Neutrino Discovery of τ lepton at SLAC there should be a corresponding neutrino. In 1989, indirect evidence for the existence of ν τ in measurement of Z-width no one had directly observed the tau neutrino. The tau neutrino interact and form a tau that has an 18% probability of decaying to - a muon and two neutrinos (long event) - an electron and two neutrinos (short event) 86% of all tau decays involve only 1 charged particle (a kink) which is the particle physicists are looking for in DONUT experiment
15 Discovery of tau Neutrino 2000 An 800 GeV beam of protons from the TeVatron collides with a block of tungsten Experimental Challenges: - Very short lifetime of the τ. - ν τ is extremely non-interacting (detector must have a very fine resolution). Detecting a τ Neutrino τ decay D s decay into τ and ν τ neutrino D s ν τ + τ τ ν τ + X 6,000,000 candidate events on tape 4 clean tau events
16 A ν τ interacted with a nucleon in a steel layer, producing a τ. Long tau decay because it decays to one charged particle, the electron, and the decay vertex occurs several sheets downstream from the neutrino interaction vertex. Short tau decay to an electron in less than the distance it takes to traverse an emulsion layer.
17 Direct ν τ Mass Limits Look at tau decays near the edge of the allowed kinematic range τ 2π π + ν τ and τ 3π 2π + (π 0 ) ν τ Massive ν τ shifts edge of the kinematic distribution Outer lines: m ντ = 0 Inner lines: m ντ = 30 MeV Fit to scaled visible energy vs. scaled invariant mass (e.g. hep-ex/ , CLEO) Best limit is m(ν τ ) < 18.2 MeV at 95% CL (Aleph, EPJ C )
18 Standard Model Neutrino Physics 1914 Electron Spectrum in β decay is continuous 1930 Pauli postulates that a new particle is emitted 1933 Fermi names the new particle neutrino and introduces four-fermion interaction 1956 Reines and Cowan discover the neutrino 1962 At least two neutrinos: ν e ν µ 1973 Discovery of neutral currents at CERN 1983 Discovery of the W and Z 1989 Measurement of Z width at CERN N ν = tau neutrino discovered.

20 Elementary Particles 3 ν flavors Only upper limits on m ν from kinematic studies. Are ν massless? (ad hoc assumption in SM)
21 Neutrino Interactions W exchange gives Charged-Current (CC) events and Z exchange gives Neutral-Current (NC) eventss In CC events the outgoing lepton determines if neutrino or antineutrino l ν l + ν
22 Neutrino Cross Section is Very Small Weak interactions are weak because of the massive W and Z boson exchange σ weak G 2 M W ~ 80 GeV F (1/M W or Z ) 4 M Z ~ 91 GeV 2 2 gw 5 G = = / 2 ( 0.7) 8 F GeV gw M W For 100 GeV neutrinos: σ(νe)~10-40 σ(νp)~10-36 cm 2 Mean free path length in steel ~ m Need big detectors and lots of ν s σ(pp)~10-26 cm 2 At Hera see W and Z propagator effects - Also weak ~ EM strength σ EM 1/Q 4
23 Neutrinos Are Left-Handed - Helicity and Handedness Helicity is projection of spin along the particles direction. Frame dependent (if massive) Handedness (or chirality) is Lorentz invariant. Only same as helicity for massless particles. right-helicity left-helicity Neutrinos only interact weakly with a (V-A) interaction All neutrinos are left-handed If neutrinos have mass then lefthanded neutrino is: mainly left-helicity But also small right-helicity component m/e Only left-handed charged-leptons (e,µ,τ ) interact weakly but mass brings in right-helicity: All antineutrinos are right handed

39 Neutrino Masses: What do we know? The results of oscillation experiments indicate ν do have mass, set the relative mass scale, and a minimum for the absolute scale. m i > 2 Δm atm 50meV βdecay experiments set a maximum for the absolute mass scale. 50 mev < m ν < 2200 mev : For the next experiments <m β > in the range of mev is very interesting.

44 Supernova Neutrinos In a supernova explosion Neutrinos escape before the photons Neutrinos carry away ~99% of the energy The rate of escape for ν e is different from ν µ and ν τ (Due extra ν e CC interactions with electrons) Neutrino mass limit can be obtained by the spread in the propagation time t obs -t emit = t 0 (1 + m 2 /2E 2 ) Spread in arrival times if m 0 due to ΔE For SN1987a assuming emission time is over 4 sec m ν < ~30 ev All arrived within about ~13 s after traveling 180,000 light years with energies that differed by up to a factor of three.

57 Estimates of the MiniBoone Signal goal: p on target to cover LSND at 5σ
58 New Surprises Beyond Mixing of 3 Massive States? Sterile Neutrinos Are they light enough that we can see them? They would give a whole new spectrum of mass states and mixings MiniBooNE and follow-ups are key 3+2 models m 5 Probing for CP violation CP violation comes about when a process has a different rate for particles and anti-particles Need to measure last mixing angle θ 13 Then look at ν versus ν oscillations to measure δ New long baseline and reactor experiments are key ν e ν µ ν τ ~ 0.7 ~ 0.7 sinθ 13 e iδ? = ~ 0.5 ~ 0.5 ~ 0.7 ~ 0.5 ~ 0.5 ~ 0.7 ν 1 ν 2 ν 3
59 Experimental Program with Sterile Neutrinos If sterile neutrinos then many mixing angles, CP phases, and Δm 2 to include Measure number of extra masses Δm 142, Δm 15 2 Measure mixings: could be many small angles Map out mixings associated with ν µ ν e Compare ν µ and ν µ oscillations CP and CPT violations Map out mixings associated with ν µ ν τ
60 Theoretical Prejudices before 1995 Natural scale for Δm 2 ~ ev 2 since needed to explain dark matter In 2004 we know. Wrong Oscillation mixing angles must be small like the quark mixing angles Wrong Atmospheric neutrino anomaly must be other physics or experimental problem because it needs such a large mixing angle Wrong LSND result doesn t fit in so must not be an oscillation signal???

64 Open Questions in Neutrino Physics What are the values of Δm 2, U ij in (2,3)sector? Is U 13 = 0? What is the level ordering of 2,3 (or 1,3)? Is there CP violation for neutrinos? Principal goals of oscillation physics Is U 3-dimensional? 4? 6?? or, is the 3-D version unitary? or, are there sterile ν? MiniBoone What are the masses? Are ν Dirac or Majorana particles?
