Physics Colloquium-28 November 2001 “The Neutrino Oscillation Industry”Maury Goodman, Argonne National Lab Outline Neutrino History Oscillations World Tour of Experiments Solar Atmospheric Long-Baseline Accelerator Nu opportunities –Superbeams/ factories
Physics Colloquium-28 November 2001 “The Neutrino Oscillation Industry”Maury Goodman, Argonne National Lab Testing Oscillations In the design of any neutrino oscillation experiment, you want to measure something (x) which will be different if oscillations exist; e.g. N event, R=NC/CC, N kink In general, x = x( , m 2 ) often x~ x(P 1 2 )
Physics Colloquium-28 November 2001 “The Neutrino Oscillation Industry”Maury Goodman, Argonne National Lab What SNO tells us Super-K has measured e e, which is a mixture of NC&CC NC i e i e, i=e, have same cross section CC e e e e only they measure a mix of e SNO measures primarily e d ppe (CC breakup) Together, one gets total, e total is not low

Physics Colloquium-28 November 2001 “The Neutrino Oscillation Industry”Maury Goodman, Argonne National Lab The truth about ’s What we know: 23 ~45 o; m 2 23 ~ eV 2 12 & m 2 23 SMA, LMA, LOW or just-so sin 2 13 < 0.05 What we want to know m 2 23 better Which solar solution? See oscillations See ’s see 13 or limit to CP violation Matter effects Sign of m 2 23
Physics Colloquium-28 November 2001 “The Neutrino Oscillation Industry”Maury Goodman, Argonne National Lab How Long is Long? Definitions of “Long-Baseline” (my use is for accelerator based experiments) Webster - (long - measuring much, or more than usual, from end-to-end in space or time) Practical - Off site Useful (Beam) - The distance from the source to the detector is much greater than the length of the decay pipe. Useful (Physics) - L >> E / m 2

Physics Colloquium-28 November 2001 “The Neutrino Oscillation Industry”Maury Goodman, Argonne National Lab Conclusion The world is one in which there has been much recent progress ( mass; mixing). New insights are expected soon (KamLAND, Borexino, K2K, MINOS) Another round of experiments at “superbeams” and factories will tell us more.
