6 January 2004EFI Faculty Lunch Future Neutrino Oscillation Experiments Neutrino oscillations, CP violation, and importance of  13 Accelerator vs. reactor experiments Future reactor experiments to measure sin 2 2  13 Ed Blucher

Neutrino Oscillations During last few years, oscillations among different flavors of neutrinos have been established; physics beyond the S.M. Mass eigenstates and flavor eigenstates are not the same (similar to quarks): mass eigenstates flavor eigenstates Raises many interesting questions including possibility of CP violation in neutrino oscillations. CP violation in neutrino sector could be responsible for the matter-antimatter asymmetry. MNSP matrix

Quark and Neutrino Mixing Matrices

2 Flavor Neutrino Mixing The time evolution of the flavor states is: For a beam that is pure  at t=0,

 12 ~ 30°  23 ~ 45°sin 2 2  13 < 0.2 at 90% CL MNSP Matrix What is e component of 3 mass eigenstate?

Minakata and Nunokawa, hep-ph/ CP Violation in Neutrino Oscillations

Methods to measure sin 2 2  13 Appearance   e (Accelerator Exp) –Use fairly pure, accelerator produced  beam with a detector at long distance (300 km km) from the source Look for the appearance of e events Use near detector to measure background e s (beam and misid) Disappearance (Reactor Exp) –Use a set of reactors as a source of – e 's with a detector at few km Look for a non- 1/r 2 behavior of the e rate Use near detector to measure the unoscillated flux Diablo Canyon, CA 150m 1500m overburden

Accelerator and reactor measurements of  13 Accelerator experiments measure: Reactor measurement of  13 is independent of matter effects and CP violation:

Reactor Measurements of Neutrino Oscillations Reactors are copious sources of per second. Detection of antineutrino by followed by or for Gd-loaded scintillator

Long history of neutrino experiments at reactors Current interest is focused mainly on possibility of measuring   20 m KamLAND 6 m CHOOZ

Reactor Measurements of Future: Search for small oscillations at 1-2 km distance (corresponding to Reactor experiments allow direct measurement of sin 2 2   : no matter effects, no CP violation, almost no correlation with other parameters. Sensitivity goal: sin 2 2   ~0.01. Level at which long-baseline “superbeams” can be used to measure mass hierarchy, CPV; ~ sensitivity goal of proposed accel. expts. Distance to reactor (m) P ee

Previous Reactor   Experiments CHOOZ and Palo Verde Experiments –Single detector experiments –Detectors used liquid scintillator with gadolinium and buffer zones for background reduction –Shielding: CHOOZ: 300 mwe Palo Verde: 32 mwe –Fiducial mass: CHOOZ: 5 1km, 5.7 GW –~2.2 evts/day/ton with bkg evts/day/ton –~3600  events Palo Verde: km, 11.6 GW –~7 evts/day/ton with 2.0 bkg evts/day/ton –~26000  events CHOOZ Systematic Errors

CHOOZ Target: 5 ton Gd-doped scintillator

Is it possible to improve the Chooz experiment by order of magnitude (i.e., sensitive to sin 2 2   ~ 0.01)? Add second detector; bigger detectors; better control of systematics. ~200 m~1500 m What systematic error is attainable? Efficiency and energy calibration strategy (movable detectors?) Backgrounds Multiple reactor cores Site / depth Choice of scintillator (stability of Gd-loaded scintillator) Size, distance of detectors

Conclusions Extremely exciting time for neutrino physics! The possibility of observing CP violation in the neutrino sector presents a great experimental challenge. Reactor and accelerator experiments are complementary. Reactor experiment has potential to be faster, cheaper, and better for establishing value of  .

Was baryogenesis made possible by leptonic CP violation? Leptogenesis may have been the result of direct CP violation in decays of heavy Majorana particles: This antilepton excess in converted to a baryon excess through nonperturbative Standard Model B-L conserving processes. - Fukugita and Yanagida, Phys. Lett. B174 (1986)
