Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here, we study the sensitivity of current and future long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments to the effects of dimension six operators affecting neutrino propagation through Earth, commonly referred to as Non-Standard Interactions (NSI). All relevant parameters entering the oscillation probabilities (standard and non-standard) are considered at once, in order to take into account possible cancellations and degeneracies between them. We find that the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment will significantly improve over current constraints for most NSI parameters. Most notably, it will be able to rule out the so-called LMA-dark solution, still compatible with current oscillation data, and will be sensitive to off-diagonal NSI parameters at the level of [epsilon] ~ $ \mathcal{O} $ (0.05 - 0.5). We also identify two degeneracies among standard and non-standard parameters, which could be partially resolved by combining T2HK and DUNE data.

Book excerpt: Here, we explore the effects of non-standard neutrino interactions (NSI) and how they modify neutrino propagation in the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE). We find that NSI can significantly modify the data to be collected by the DUNE experiment as long as the new physics parameters are large enough. For example, if the DUNE data are consistent with the standard three-massive-neutrinos paradigm, order 0.1 (in units of the Fermi constant) NSI effects will be ruled out. On the other hand, if large NSI effects are present, DUNE will be able to not only rule out the standard paradigm but also measure the new physics parameters, sometimes with good precision. We find that, in some cases, DUNE is sensitive to new sources of CP-invariance violation. We also explored whether DUNE data can be used to distinguish different types of new physics beyond nonzero neutrino masses. In more detail, we asked whether NSI can be mimicked, as far as the DUNE setup is concerned, by the hypothesis that there is a new light neutrino state.

Book Synopsis Non-Unitarity, Sterile Neutrinos, and Non-Standard Neutrino Interactions by :
Download or read book Non-Unitarity, Sterile Neutrinos, and Non-Standard Neutrino Interactions written by and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The simplest Standard Model extension to explain neutrino masses involves the addition of right-handed neutrinos. At some level, this extension will impact neutrino oscillation searches. In this work we explore the differences and similarities between the case in which these neutrinos are kinematically accessible (sterile neutrinos) or not (mixing matrix non-unitarity). We clarify apparent inconsistencies in the present literature when using different parametrizations to describe these effects and recast both limits in the popular neutrino non-standard interaction (NSI) formal- ism. We find that, in the limit in which sterile oscillations are averaged out at the near detector, their effects at the far detector coincide with non-unitarity at leading order, even in presence of a matter potential. We also summarize the present bounds existing in both limits and compare them with the expected sensitivities of near-future facilities taking the DUNE proposal as a bench- mark. We conclude that non-unitarity effects are too constrained to impact present or near future neutrino oscillation facilities but that sterile neutrinos can play an important role at long baseline experiments. The role of the near detector is also discussed in detail.

Book Synopsis Non-standard Neutrino Interactions in the Mu{u2013}tau Sector by :
Download or read book Non-standard Neutrino Interactions in the Mu{u2013}tau Sector written by and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We discuss neutrino mass hierarchy implications arising from the effects of non-standard neutrino interactions on muon rates in high statistics atmospheric neutrino oscillation experiments like IceCube DeepCore. We concentrate on the mu–tau sector, which is presently the least constrained. It is shown that the magnitude of the effects depends strongly on the sign of the ϵ?? parameter describing this non-standard interaction. A simple analytic model is used to understand the parameter space where differences between the two signs are maximized. We discuss how this effect is partially degenerate with changing the neutrino mass hierarchy, as well as how this degeneracy could be lifted.
Book Synopsis Curtailing the Dark Side in Non-Standard Neutrino Interactions by :
Download or read book Curtailing the Dark Side in Non-Standard Neutrino Interactions written by and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In presence of non-standard neutrino interactions the neutrino flavor evolution equation is affected by a degeneracy which leads to the so-called LMA-Dark solution. It requires a solar mixing angle in the second octant and implies an ambiguity in the neutrino mass ordering. Non-oscillation experiments are required to break this degeneracy. We perform a combined analysis of data from oscillation experiments with the neutrino scattering experiments CHARM and NuTeV. We find that the degeneracy can be lifted if the non-standard neutrino interactions take place with down quarks, but it remains for up quarks. However, CHARM and NuTeV constraints apply only if the new interactions take place through mediators not much lighter than the electroweak scale. For light mediators we consider the possibility to resolve the degeneracy by using data from future coherent neutrino-nucleus scattering experiments. We find that, for an experiment using a stopped-pion neutrino source, the LMA-Dark degeneracy will either be resolved, or the presence of new interactions in the neutrino sector will be established with high significance.
Book Synopsis Neutrinos in High Energy and Astroparticle Physics by : Jose Wagner Furtado Valle
Download or read book Neutrinos in High Energy and Astroparticle Physics written by Jose Wagner Furtado Valle and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2015-04-20 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This self-contained modern textbook provides a modern description of the Standard Model and its main extensions from the perspective of neutrino physics. In particular it includes a thorough discussion of the varieties of seesaw mechanism, with or without supersymmetry. It also discusses schemes where neutrino mass arises from lighter messengers, which might lie within reach of the world's largest particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider. Throughout the text, the book stresses the role of neutrinos due to the fact that neutrino properties may serve as a guide to the correct model of unification, hence for a deeper understanding of high energy physics, and because neutrinos play an important role in astroparticle physics and cosmology. Each chapter includes summaries and set of problems, as well as further reading.

Book Synopsis Testing Nonstandard Neutrino Interaction Parameters with IceCube-DeepCore by : Elisa Lohfink
Download or read book Testing Nonstandard Neutrino Interaction Parameters with IceCube-DeepCore written by Elisa Lohfink and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Currently, the clearest evidence for physics beyond the Standard Model is provided by observations that indicate non-zero neutrino masses. Numerous theories on how these masses are generated give rise to additional non-standard interactions (NSI) of neutrinos with quarks and charged leptons. Atmospheric neutrinos provide a sensitive probe for the neutrino flavor transitions resulting from the type of NSI investigated in this work. These comprise neutral current forward scattering of neutrinos of all flavors on first generation charged fermions in Earth matter. In order to maximize model independence, the NSI are parametrized using five effective coupling strengths. In the IceCube-DeepCore detector, atmospheric neutrinos are detected indirectly via Cherenkov photons produced within the Antarctic glacier. The range of angles under which neutrinos enter the detector translates into propagation baselines of O(1 - 10000 )km. The data sample used in the presented analysis includes 9.3 years of DeepCore data, covering a neutrino energy range of 5 to 100 GeV. Accuracy and performance of event property reconstruction from observed photons are a crucial factor for the analysis outcome. Therefore, this work includes a thorough study of the potential and shortcomings of likelihood based DeepCore event reconstruction algorithms. The presented analysis relies on comparing binned observed event counts to simulation that is generated at different hypotheses. These include the individually considered NSI parameters as well as 17 nuisance parameters. In order to find the hypothesis that best describes the observation, the optimum of a test statistic is determined using a customized minimization strategy. The final analysis setup yields sensitivities to four effective NSI couplings that are competitive compared with existing results.
