3 These lectures: experiment How do we know what we know? What's within reach for the future?
4 OUTLINE Lecture 1: Oscillation experiments I Lecture : Oscillation experiments II Lecture 3: Non oscillation experiments
5 Lecture 1 Overview of neutrino sources, detection Neutrino mass and oscillations Current status of oscillation physics, part I: Atmospheric parameter space Super K atmospheric neutrinos KK beam MINOS beam CNGS beam
6 NEUTRINOS ~3 ~ ,000 MeV/c Quarks u d c s t b ~6 ~100 ~400 MeV/c MeV/c Leptons Spin 1/ e νe µ νµ τ ντ In the Standard Model of particle physics, neutral partners to the charged leptons Zero charge 3 flavors (families) Interact only via weak interaction Tiny mass (< 1 ev)
7 Why Do Neutrinos Matter? They are a piece of the puzzle: we must understand their properties if we are to understand fundamental particles and their interactions, as well as gain insight into cosmology What are the masses and mixings? Do neutrinos violate CP? What is the absolute mass scale? Are neutrinos their own antiparticles? Do neutrinos have properties pointing the way beyond the SM? What astrophysical information can we learn from neutrinos?
8 Sources of wild neutrinos The Atmosphere (cosmic rays) The Big Bang Super novae AGN's, GRB's mev ev kev MeV GeV TeV PeV EeV Radioactive decay in the Earth The Sun J. Becker, arxiv:
9 Sources of 'tame' neutrinos Proton accelerators Beta beams Nuclear reactors ev kev MeV GeV TeV Artificial radioactive sources Stopped Muon pion sources storage rings Usually (but not always) better understood
10 Neutrino Interactions with Matter Charged Current (CC) u d Neutral Current (NC) d W+ νl d Z0 l νl + N l± + N' Produces lepton with flavor corresponding to neutrino flavor νx νx Flavor blind (must have enough energy to make lepton) Detect energy loss of final state charged particle
11 Neutrino detectors: in general want to know CC or NC? What flavor? What energy? Features that matter energy resolution and threshold flavor/mode tagging statistics (lots of target mass or neutrinos or both) low background: typically underground to hide from cosmic rays
12 Neutrino Mass and Oscillations How can we learn about neutrino mass? Assume FLAVOR STATES νf > weakly interacting N f >= Ufi i > i=1 unitary mixing matrix are superpositions of MASS STATES νm > If mixing matrix is not diagonal, get flavor oscillations as neutrinos propagate (essentially, interference between mass states)
13 Simple two flavor case f >= cos 1 > sin > g >= sin 1 > cos > Propagate a distance L: iei t i ( t ) >=e i mi L / p i ( 0 ) >~e i ( 0 ) > Probability of detecting flavor g at L: P ( f g )=sin sin 1.7 m L E E in GeV L in km m in ev Parameters of nature to measure: θ, m =m1 m
14 P ( f g )=sin sin 1.7 m L E m =m1 m If flavor oscillations are observed, then there must be at least one non zero mass state * Note: oscillation depends on mass differences, not absolute masses
15 Probability 1.7 m L of changing P ( f g )=sin sin E flavor P ( f f ) Wavelength= πe/(1.7 m) P ( f g ) Amplitude sinθ Distance traveled m, sinθ are the parameters of nature; L, E depend on the experimental setup
16 The Experimental Game Start with some neutrinos (natural or artificial) Measure (or calculate) flavor composition and energy spectrum Let them propagate Measure flavor and energies again Have the flavors and energies changed? If so, does the P ( )=sin sin 1.7 m L f g E change follow? Disappearance: ν's oscillate into 'invisible' flavor e.g. νe νµ at ~MeV energies Appearance: directly see new flavor e.g. νµ ντ at ~GeV energies
17 Oscillation P ( f g )=sin sin Parameter fast wiggle Space Twiddle L/E 1.7 m L E allowed region Frequency ml/e slow wiggle Amplitude sinθ Experimental statistics
18 More generally, for 3 flavors: U e1 U e Ue3 = U 1 U U 3 U U 3 e U 1 Maki Nakagawa Sakata (MNS) matrix m ij L P ( f g )= fg 4 Re( Ufi Ugi U U ) sin E j i * fj * gj.54 m ij L * * ± Im( Ufi Ugi Ufj Ugj )sin E j i Frequently, can use flavor approximation e.g. if mij >> mjk 3 flavors independent m Note: ij

20 The Three Signals in Parameter Space LSND Atmospheric ν's e x Solar (and reactor) ν's e x (Note: can have only independent m, for 3 neutrinos)
21 First, zoom in to atmospheric ν parameter space x
22 Atmospheric Neutrinos cosmic ray (p) π E~ GeV L~ km + µ + νµ e + νµ νe Absolute flux known to ~15%, but flavor ratio known to ~5% By geometry, expect flux with up down symmetry above ~1 GeV (no geomagnetic effects)

28 Super K Accident November 1, 001 /3 of PMTs destroyed in chain reaction implosion
29 Now have acrylic/ fiberglass shells for shock protection Back online in 003 with 47% of ID PMTs, full OD (SK II) Full reconstruction over winter '05 '06 (SK III) Electronics/DAQ/offline upgrade this year (SK IV)
30 Super K Full Reconstruction Photo Gallery
31 Atmospheric ν's Experimental Strategy: High energy interactions of ν's with nucleons u d νe + n e + p νe + p e + n + W + νl νµ + n µ + p l νµ + p µ+ + n Tag neutrino flavor by flavor of outgoing lepton νl + N l± + N' CC quasi elastic ("single ring"): cleanest sample
32 Get different patterns in Cherenkov light for e and µ (sim. for other detector types) From Cherenkov cone get angle, infer pathlength
33 Zenith angle distribution of 1 ring events 1489 days of SK data (SK I) e like µ like up going down going Deficit of νµ from below (long pathlength)
34 Deficit interpreted as two flavor oscillation SK I+II, preliminary Disappearance consistent with νµ ντ
35 Getting more from the data set: parent ν energies for subsamples Fully contained single ring multi ring e like µ like Partially contained Upward going muons stopping throughgoing
36 SK I+II analysis: Excellent fit to oscillation hypothesis!
37 What flavors are involved in this νµ νx disappearance? Expect about 80 τ's in sample; hard to distinguish from multi π events Pure νµ νe? e like No upgoing e like excess up going down going
38 What flavors are involved in this νµ νx disappearance? Expect about 80 τ's in sample; hard to distinguish from multi π events NOT pure νµ νe: no up going e like excess (some admixture in 3 flavor scenario allowed) Could it be νµ νsterile?
39 For νµ νsterile would expect: Up going NC deficit: ν 's have NC interactions τ νsterile's "really" disappear Angular distortion at high energy (>~ 5 GeV): q q Z ντ q q νs νs vs. 0 ντ "matter effects" in the Earth affect oscillation probability
40 Super K data: select NC multi ring and high energy events SK I data multi ring NC events: no upgoing deficit SK, PRL 85(000) νµ ντ νµ νsterile PC upmu High energy events: (partially contained and upgoing muons) no angular distortion Current preliminary SK I+II νµ νsterile exclusion: 7.3
41 What flavors are involved in this νµ νx disappearance? Expect about 80 τ's in sample; hard to distinguish from multi π events NOT pure νµ νe: no up going e like excess (some admixture in 3 flavor scenario allowed) NOT pure νµ νsterile : would expect not * up going NC deficit seen * angular distortion of high E events }
42 What flavors are involved in this νµ νx disappearance? Expect about 80 τ's in SK I sample; hard to distinguish from multi π events NOT pure νµ νe: no up going e like excess (some admixture in 3 flavor scenario allowed) NOT pure νµ νsterile : would expect * up going NC deficit not * angular distortion of high E events seen Can we check νµ ντ directly? }
43 Tau Appearance in Super K Typical MC τ event Energy Threshold: 3.5 GeV s n o r d a h or or e Hadrons Expect about 80 τ's in SK I sample... but they are hard to distinguish from other multi ring ν interaction events
44 Select τ like events: (energy, shape, rings, decay electrons) analyses (likelihood and neural network) SK, PRL 97(006) yield consistent answers MC expectation: 78.4±7 τ's From fit to τ like sample: (shaded) Neural Network (39% efficiency) 134±48 stat ± τ's Consistent with (expected) slight excess of upgoing τ's
45 What flavors are involved in this νµ νx disappearance? Expect about 80 τ's in sample; hard to distinguish from multi π events NOT pure νµ νe: no up going e like excess (some admixture in 3 flavor scenario allowed) NOT pure νµ νsterile : would expect * up going NC excess not * angular distortion of high E events seen } CONSISTENT WITH νµ ντ : ~.4σ excess of up going "τ like" events
46 Resolving the "wiggle" with SK atm ν's 1.7 m L P ( f g )=sin sin E FC/PC events Poor resolution in L/E (~10's of %) washes it out hard to distinguish oscillation from exotic kinds of disappearance
47 Select events for which resolution in L/E is good: (<70%): exclude horizontal, low E, poorly contained, very high E µ like µ like
48 Similar plot with this selected subset: Decoherence ruled out at 5.0 Decay ruled out at 4.1 "the dip" Seems to be really wiggling!
49 Oscillation fit w/high resolution L/E data sample Standard analysis Improves m resolution a little
50 Next: INDEPENDENT TEST of atmospheric neutrino oscillations using a well understood ν beam Eν~ GeV, L~ 100's of km for same L/E P ( f g )=sin sin 1.7 m L E LONG BASELINE EXPERIMENTS Compare flux, flavor and energy spectrum at near and far detectors
51 KK (KEK to Kamioka) Long Baseline Experiment ~ 1 GeV muon neutrinos 1 GeV protons on Al target + π focusing horn + decay pipe for pions Events matched w/gps
52 The Neutrino Beamline at KEK
53 The Near Detector (300 m away) (scibar) Characterize the ν beam for extrapolation to SK
54 Results from KK: full data sample Total 11 beam events observed; expect 158±9 Single ring µ like events Suppression observed, spectral distortion consistent with oscillations P ( f g )=sin sin 1.7 m L E
55 KK Allowed Oscillation Parameters Consistent with SK atmospheric ν's! SK I No oscillation excluded at >4σ
56 Current state of the art for long baseline disappearance oscillation: MINOS (Main Injector Neutrino Oscillation Search) Fermilab to Minnesota, 735 km baseline muon neutrino beam
57 NuMI Beamline at Fermilab 93% muon neutrino in low energy mode H. Gallagher, Nu008

60 Results of MINOS muon neutrino disappearance analysis H. Gallagher, Nu008 Spectral distortion observed 1.7 m L P ( f g )=sin sin E
61 Allowed oscillation parameters from MINOS Tightest resolution in m
62 CNGS: CERN Neutrinos to Gran Sasso ~0 GeV νµ beam, 73 km baseline
63 The CNGS beamline Designed to search for appearance need high energy beam to make them G. Rosa, Nu008
64 Detectors at LNGS are optimized for τ appearance fine grain imaging detectors to s earch explicitly for τ decays OPERA, ICARUS
65 OPERA lead/emulsion sandwich + active scintillator strip planes + magnetic spectrometer Extract bricks for scanning if electronic detector indicates τ like event 1.35 kton target mass (~90% complete)
66 First long distance data in in target (non tau) events G. Rosa, Nu008
