1 Oscillating Neutrinos and T2K UVic Physics/Astronomy Colloquium Dean Karlen / University of Victoria & TRIUMF
2 Brief history of neutrinos Neutrinos were postulated by W. Pauli in 1930 to explain the apparent energy non-conservation in nuclear beta decay suggested that neutrinos only rarely interact with matter able to carry away energy undetected In the 1950s, Reines and Cowan (at Los Alamos) worked to develop an experiment that could detect neutrinos: first idea: detonate a 20 kton fission bomb! approved, but not attempted next idea: use a nuclear reactor as a steady high intensity source 2
3 Discovery of neutrinos Reines and Cowan succeeded in detecting neutrinos at the Savannah River nuclear reactor in 1956 reaction: inverse beta decay: prompt + delayed coincidence ν e e + e p n <10 µs Cd two 200 L tanks with water and cadmium salt to reduce n capture time to < 10 µs sandwiched by three scintillator tanks to detect the gammas (cf. T2K near detector tracker!) 3
4 Results: Reines and Cowan experiment signal/background: 3:1 predicted cross section (1956): (6.3 ± 1.5) cm 2 observed cross section: cm 2 (uncertainty ~ 5%) Agreement with theory too good? 1957 discovery of parity non-conservation in weak interactions: revised IBD cross section: (10.0 ± 1.7) cm 2 subsequent reanalysis of the original data: cm 2 4
5 More than one kind of neutrino In 1962, the existence of a second kind of neutrino, ν µ, was established by an experiment that directed high energy protons from the BNL AGS onto a target neutrinos produced by the decay of secondary hadrons tended to produce penetrating muons in the downstream detectors: 34 muon like, at most 5 electron like 5
6 Neutrino interactions Neutrinos only interact via the weak force weak because interaction involves a heavy mediator (W or Z) eg: neutrino from beta decay W n p e ν e eg: neutrino interactions in matter ν e e ν µ µ W W n p 6 n p
7 Neutrinos change their identity In the 1980s and 90s, experiments were performed to measure the rate of ν e and ν µ interactions from natural neutrino sources: neutrinos produced in the nuclear reactions in sun neutrinos produced in cosmic ray interactions with the atmosphere The results did not agree with Standard Model predictions The prevailing theory of neutrino properties had to be modified to explain the results when produced, a neutrino has a definite type (flavour) electron, muon, or tau (depending on the charged lepton involved) when the neutrino interacts at some later time, it may produce a different type of charged lepton as if it changed its identity lepton flavour not conserved: the neutrino oscillated 7
8 PMNS explanation In the 1960s, Pontecorvo, Maki, Nakagawa, and Sakata postulated that neutrinos might behave that way U = states of definite flavour = linear combination of states of definite mass if the masses differ, they get out of phase, leading to neutrino oscillation c 23 s 23 0 s 23 c 23 Solar and cosmic experiments: θ 12 = 34 ± 2, θ 23 = 45 ± 7 ν α = U αα ν i Δm 2 21 = 8.0 ± ev 2 2, Δm 32 = 2.4 ± ev 2 Reactor experiments: θ 13 < 95% CL : Is it zero? 3 i=1 c 13 0 s 13 e iδ s 13 e iδ 0 c 13 α = e, μ, τ i = 1,2,3 c 12 s 12 0 s 12 c s 23 = sin θ 23 c 23 = cos θ 23 8
9 θ 13 oscillation experiments Experiments that measure neutrino oscillation involving ν e over a suitable baseline can be sensitive to θ 13 Nuclear reactors produce a high flux of ν e with E ~ 1 MeV 2 L 1 P ν e ν e sin 2 2θ 13 sin 2 Δm 31 4E ν 2 L + cos 4 θ 13 sin 2 2θ 12 sin 2 Δm 21 4E ν Δm 2 31 L = 1.27 Δm 2 31 L GeV 4E ν ev 2 π km E ν 2 L 0.5 km E ν MeV Accelerators can produce high flux of ν µ with E ~ 1 GeV baselines of several 100 km required 9
10 Reactor measurements Three new experiments are just getting underway: Double Chooz (France), Reno (Korea), Daya Bay (China) larger detectors: more events + more shielding: less background include an identical near detector to reduce sensitivity to modelling the neutrino flux and cross section and the detector properties 2 L 1 P ν e ν e sin 2 2θ 13 sin 2 Δm 31 4E ν + cos 4 θ 13 sin 2 2θ 12 sin 2 Δm 21 2 L 4E ν sin 2 2θ 13 = 0.1 near far 10

12 Located near Hong Kong Daya Bay (China) Multiple identical detectors at three sites: 4 detectors at far site, 2 detectors at the 2 near locations compare detectors at same site to confirm systematic errors tunnels between detector locations allow them to be exchanged if the systematic errors dictate Daya Bay near detector started data taking August 15, 2011 Ling Ao near detector to start later this year Far detector to start summer

15 Accelerator experiments An accelerator neutrino experiment can estimate θ 13 by measuring the ν e appearance probability: start with a nearly pure beam of ν µ several 100 km away, detect and distinguish ν e and ν µ P ν μ ν e sin 2 θ 23 sin 2 2θ 13 sin 2 Δm 23 2 L 4E ν 15
16 T2K The T2K project, approved in December 2003, arose from a fortunate coincidence of two major facilities needed for neutrino oscillation experiment separated by an appropriate distance: The Japan Proton Accelerator Research Center (JPARC): the world s highest intensity proton beam Super Kamiokande: the world s largest water Cherenkov detector Super Kamiokande JPARC and neutrino beamline 16
17 T2K an off axis experiment The beam axis is directed 2.5 away from SK to: increase the flux of ~ 0.6 GeV neutrinos at SK those most sensitive to oscillation parameters for a 295 km baseline decrease the flux of higher energy neutrinos at SK which can be mis-reconstructed as lower energy neutrinos (background) relation between E ν and p π at fixed angles observed E ν spectrum at SK Interaction rate (arb units) E ν (GeV) 17
18 Neutrino detection Charged Current interactions identify the flavour of the neutrino For neutrinos with E ~ 0.6 GeV, the dominant cross section is CC quasi- elastic (CCQE) ν l l W n p The neutrino energy is estimated by measuring the momentum of the charged lepton and using momentum conservation 18

42 Global neutrino analysis Fogli et al, recently updated their analysis of all oscillation data Find the significance for θ 13 > 0 is more than 3σ Incorporating new models for reactor flux increases significance the near detectors at the new reactor experiments will check flux models G.L.

43 Summary Significant advances in measuring θ 13 have come about in the past few years precision reactor experiments are coming on-line T2K has given first strong indication that θ 13 0 In the coming years watch to see how the different oscillation measurements compare with each other, and whether the PMNS description continues to hold Provided θ 13 is large enough, new projects may move ahead to definitively measure the amount of CP violation in the lepton sector important input to understanding the origin of the matter/anti-matter asymmetry in the Universe 43
