1 Title transparency Neutrino oscillation experiments: Recent results and implications W. Hampel MPI Kernphysik Heidelberg

2 Motivation for talk On the way from the Standard Model to String Theory: appropriate to summarize the present status of Neutrino Oscillations since their experimental verification constitutes the first departure from the Standard Model of Particle Physics: Non-zero neutrino mass Violation of lepton flavor conservation

3 Outline Outline Neutrino oscillations Atmospheric neutrinos Long baseline experiment KK Solar neutrinos Running and stopped experiments Near future: Borexino Reactor anti-neutrino experiment KamLAND Conclusions Related topics which will not be covered: Future long baseline experiments Future solar ν experiments: LENS;,... Direct ν mass measurements (tritium) Neutrinoless β decay experiments LSND, Karmen experiments (sterile ν)

5 MSW effect: principle Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein Effect Modification of vacuum neutrino oscillations when neutrinos propagate through matter: L. Wolfenstein, Phys.Rev. D17 (1978) 369. Reason: Coherent forward scattering of neutrinos from the electrons in matter results in an asymmetry between ν e and ν µ (ν τ ) ν e e - ν µ µ - ν e ν e W W Z 0 e - ν e µ ν µ e - e - ν µ ν µ e - Z0 e - This results in a transformation: θ v θ m ν 1 ν 1m ν ν m L v L m Transformation depends on: θ v, m, E ν, N e First application to solar neutrinos S.P Mikheyev + A.Yu. Smirnov, Sov. J. Nucl. Phys. 4 (1986) 913. Earth effect: partial regeneration of ν e in the earth possible: day/night modulation of ν signal
