3 Neutrino Oscillations 3 The observation of neutrino oscillations where one type of neutrino can change (oscillate) into another type implies: 1. Neutrinos have mass and 2. Lepton number (electron, muon, tau) is not conserved (ν e ν µ, ν µ ν τ, ν e ν τ ) mass eigenstates flavor eigenstates ν 1 + ν 2 ν µ or ν e ( m L E) 2 2 P Osc = sin 2θ sin /
4 Derivation of Oscillation Formula (A favorite graduate exam problem ) 4 ( m L E) 2 2 P Osc = sin 2θ sin / See if you can derive the 1.27 factor in the formula by recovering from the hbar = c =1.
5 Oscillation Phenomenology 5 Two types of oscillation searches: Appearance Experiment: Look for appearance of ν e or ν τ in a pure ν µ beam vs. L and E Need to know the backgrounds Disappearance Experiment: Look for a change in ν µ flux as a function of L and E Need to know the flux and cross sections P osc = sin 2 2θ sin 2 (1.27 m 2 L/E) sets the details of search Mixing angle sin 2 2θ sets the needed statistics Small m 2 (Need large L/E) Large m 2 : <sin 2 (1.27 m 2 L/E)>=1/2
6 Oscillation Plots 6 If you see an oscillation signal with P osc = P ± δp then carve out an allowed region in ( m 2,sin 2 2θ) plane. If you see no signal and limit oscillation with P osc < 90% CL then carve out an excluded region in the ( m 2,sin 2 2θ) plane.
7 Situation in mid-1990 s: Three Experimental Indications for Neutrino Oscillations 7 LSND Experiment L = 30m E = ~40 MeV ν µ ν e Atmospheric Neutrinos L = 15 to 15,000 km E =300 to 2000 MeV ν µ ν x Solar Neutrinos L = 10 8 km E =0.3 to 3 MeV ν e ν x m 2 = ~ 2 to ev 2 Prob OSC = ~100% m 2 =.3 to 3 ev 2 Prob OSC = 0.3 % m 2 = ~ 1 to ev 2 Prob OSC = ~100%
8 Three Signal Regions (Mid 1990 s) 8
9 Theoretical Prejudices before Natural scale for m 2 ~ ev 2 since needed to explain dark matter Oscillation mixing angles must be small like the quark mixing angles Solar neutrino oscillations must be small mixing angle MSW solution because it is cool Atmospheric neutrino anomaly must be other physics or experimental problem because it needs such a large mixing angle LSND result doesn t fit in so must not be an oscillation signal
10 Theoretical Prejudices before Natural scale for m 232 ~ ev 2 since needed to explain dark matter What we know now Wrong Oscillation mixing angles must be small like the quark mixing angles Wrong Solar neutrino oscillations must be small mixing angle MSW solution because it is cool 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
11 Neutrino Revolution: Present 11 Solar Neutrino Oscillations Confirmed and Constrained SNO experiments sees that total neutrino flux correct from sun but just changing flavor Kamland experiment using reactor neutrinos confirms solar oscillations Borexino measures 7 Be neutrino rate Combination of experiments Large Mixing Angle Solution Atmospheric neutrino oscillations definitively confirmed Smoking Gun Super-K flux change with zenith angle (distance) Accelerator neutrino confirmation with KEK to Super-K exp. MINOS experiment makes improved m 2 Atm determination Value of m 2 goes down to ~ ev 2
12 Solar Neutrino Deficit 12 Flux of solar neutrinos detected at the earth is much less than expected Is it due to neutrino oscillations? Super-K Exp can see the sun underground from the other side of the earth using: ν + e ν + e e e Super- K (Japan) image of the sun using neutrinos

26 Solar Mass Hierarchy Is Determined From Matter Effects 26 If we chose the wrong mass hierarchy for the ν 1 and ν 2, then:
27 Transition from Vacuum to Matter Oscillations 27
28 Kamland Reactor Exp. (Probes for ν e Osc. In the Solar Region) 28 Uses ν e from all the reactors in Japan 85% of signal events from: Closest 60 GW of power Distance range 140km to 344 km KamLAND is a 1 kton liquid scintillator detector 2000 photomultiplier tubes 1 km underground Began data taking in Sept., 2001.

31 KamLAND Results 31 Expectation Observed: 258 events No-oscillation: ± 23.7 events Background: 17.6 ± 7.2 events (N obs N bkgnd )/N no-osc = ± (stat) ± (syst) ( % CL signal )
32 Neutrino Oscillation Interpretation 32 Distribution has L/E behavior expected for neutrino oscillations KamLAND best fit : m 2 = 7.9 x 10-5 ev 2 tan 2 θ = 0.45 Global Fit (plus SNO, SuperK solar) m 2 = x 10-5 ev 2 tan 2 θ = ( sin 2 2θ 12 = )
33 Summary Solar Data and Neutrino Oscillations 33 Know that solar model is giving correct flux due to SNO neutral current measurement Solar disappearance probability depends on energy Need to include matter effects (electron density) Kamland reactor experiment agrees with solar oscillation parameters Constrains m 2
34 34 Atmospheric Neutrinos: ν e and ν µ π or K decay ---> µ + ν µ. Then the muon decays to e + ν e + ν µ (ν µ + ν µ )/ (ν e + ν e )ratio should be = 2. Measured to be 1 by some experiments. Some others closer to 2. Inconclusive. Then SuperKamiokande was built.
35 Super-Kamiokande (Super-K) Detector kton of ultra-pure water 11, inch phototubes Located in Kamioka mine at a depth of 1000m below the surface
36 Atmospheric Neutrino Studies 36 E ν ~ 300 MeV - 2 GeV cosθ Zenith = km Oscillations if m 2 >10-2 ev 2 Flux dependence on azimuth is directly related to distance traveled Perfect laboratory to search for oscillations 13,000 km Oscillations if m 2 >few x 10-5 ev 2 cosθ Zenith = -1.0
37 Atmospheric Neutrino Data from Super-K 37
38 Atmospheric Oscillation Results 38 Inconsistent with:
39 Super-K Fits to ν µ ν τ 39
40 K2K (KEK to Super-K) Oscillation Experiment (Accelerator Check of Atmospheric Osc.) 40 Low energy, <E ν >=1.4 GeV, beam sent from KEK to SuperK (250 km) See large deficit of neutrinos (~50%) Confirm Atmospheric oscillations using an accelerator neutrino beam
41 MINOS Accelerator Oscillation Experiment at Fermilab 41
42 MINOS ν µ Disappearance Results 42 PRL 101 (2008) (hep-ex/ )
43 Summary of Current Atmospheric Region Results 43
44 1 st MINOS Pure ν µ Disappearance Results 44 MINOS is first longbaseline experiment that can separate ν µ and ν µ interactions using the sign of the outgoing muon. For the standard ν µ running, 6.4% of CC interactions from ν µ with 82% efficiency and 97% purity. Can search for ν µ disappearance! Results: 42 events observed Expect: No osc: 65 ± 8 stat ± 4 syst CPT conserving: 58 ± 8 stat ± 4 syst Next: Plan to run ν µ starting next year
45 MINOS Search for Oscillations to Sterile Neutrinos 45 Atmospheric region oscillations from ν µ ν τ but ν τ energy is below threshold to produce τ leptons only ν τ NC interactions NC rate in near and far detector should be the same If ν µ ν sterile then NC rate should be less in far detector
46 OPERA and ICARUS: ν τ Appearance Search 46 Uses 400 GeV protons to produce neutrino beam E ν 17 GeV E ν above threshold to produce τ leptons from ν τ L/E 43 so oscillation probability for m 2 atm is small
47 OPERA: Nuclear Emulsion plus Lead 47 ICARUS: Liquid Argon TPC 600 Tons Scintillator Strips isolate emulsion brick with an event Robot then picks out brick to be scanned. 1 st event % run completed (1700 ν-events recorded) Will use kinematic reconstruction to isolate ν τ -events. 1 st event expected by end of 2009
48 OPERA Expect about 15 events in 5 years. 48
49 Current Oscillation Summary 49 Ruled out by MiniBooNE (almost) ( ν running; low-e excess)
50 Current Global Fits to Solar, Atmospheric, Accelerator, and Reactor Data 50
51 Big Questions in Neutrino Oscillations 51 Still missing some information 1. What is ν e component in the ν 3 mass eigenstate? The size of the little mixing angle, θ 13? Only know θ 13 <13 0 θ Is the µ - τ mixing maximal? 35 0 < θ 23 < What is the mass hierarchy? Is the solar pair the most massive or not? 4. What is the absolute mass scale for neutrinos? We only know m 2 values 8 5. Do neutrinos exhibit CP violation, i.e. is δ 0? Normal Hierarchy Inverted Hierarchy
