24 So after the first round of experiments... 24

25 After 1st round of experiments... Oscillation measured: massive neutrinos but need for precision Still several questions Mass hierarchy? 13 0? 23 maximal? CP violation in the leptonic sector? Sterile neutrinos? Let's go for a 2nd (and 3rd) round 25

28 2 nd Generation: Accelerator experiments 28

29 Oscillation analysis in 3D ( 13, ): need to analyze oscillations in the 3-flavor scenario Oscillation parameter correlated Still unknown parameters Degeneracies Several Channels Different energies Different BL Matter effects 29

36 The Latest Mixing Angle: 13 Reactor experiments 36

37 13: Why reactor neutrinos? L ~ 1 km P( e x) In contrast to accelerator experiments... No parameter correlations Pure e beam Low energy No matter effects Cheap, as source exists High flux and large xsection 37

48 What's next? 48

49 Open questions after 2nd round... Mass hierarchy? 23 = /4, 23 < /4 or 23 > /4? CP violation? To address these questions, Super-Beams, Beta-Beams and NF are being studied is now known... and it is large! Is there a fast/easy/cheap way to resolve the above questions? What can be achieved with the current facilities? Can they be upgraded? New kton detectors? Can we answer any of these questions within ~10 year Discussion ongoing to define the roadmap for neutrino physics NuTURN 2012 and Town meeting: European Strategy for Neutrino Oscillation physics Spanish community also planning about next steps 49

50 International efforts LAGUNA LAGUNA-LBNO Underground facility for physics and p decay 2008 Large Baseline experiment EuroNu MW-superbeam Beta Beam Neutrino Factory Fermilab program: LBNE, Project X KEK/JPARC: T2HK, 0.75 to 4 MW Combining results from current experiments: maybe MO and 23, but no CP Upgraded beams: more energy, power (>700 kw) and purity Detectors: more massive, more granularity and energy resolution Degeneracies: different energies, baselines, channels 50

51 Detectors LAGUNA: proton decay, astrophysics and CP-violation in the lepton sector Detectors for Neutrino Factory: MIND: magnetized, MINOS-like TASD: magnetized NOVA-like Magnetized LAr MEMPHYS MIND 750kton water 51

52 SuperBeams Muon Neutrino beam from pion decay: beam power 1-4 MW E ~ 5 GeV, On/off axis detectors mass ~100 kton Long baseline: mass hierarchy Data taking: 10 years 52

53 Beta-Beams Electron Neutrino beam from beta decay: He 3 Li e ν e Ne Fe e 10 9 Pure e beam: smaller beam systematics and backgrounds Best detectors: water Cerenkov and LAr (LE) and iron calorimeter (HE) No disappearance: no measurement Technical challenges: ion production, acceleration, storage ring νe 53

54 Neutrino Factory Muon Neutrino beam from muon decay: Dectector able to measure charge Magnetized Iron calorimeters (MIND) muon production (MERIT), cooling (MICE), acceleration (EMMA) IDS-NF: 54

55 Comparing facilities Requirements: CPV: 2 complementary channels Degeneracies: different E/L P. Coloma et al, arxiv:1203:5651 Mass hierarchy: LBL Comparison: is measured (large!): Discovery potential not really useful Small CP asymmetries (systematics!) Better compare in terms of precision! 55

57 Still one more question... Sterile neutrinos? Indications that three-flavor mixing might not be the sufficient: SBL reactor anti-neutrino measurements: reactor flux anomaly Radioactive source measurements: Gallium anomaly Accelerator-based experiments: LSND & MiniBooNE 57

58 Testing the Reactor Flux Anomaly Anti- detectors close to compact reactor cores (~10m) Saclay First experiment already at commissioning stage: Nucifer (Non Proliferation: Pth & Fuel Composition) 1m3 Gd-LS detector Osiris Site in Saclay (70 MW) Other projects: Stereo, SCRAMM, DANSS (building), NIST 58

63 Summary Atm/sol oscillation parameters have been measured Time for precision: mass hierarchy, 23? Interference sector is large: need to define the next step Search for CPV in leptonic sector ( ) Super-beams, beta-beams?, NF? Not everything understood in current results: Mass ordering, 23, CP?
