Statistical Evaluation of Experimental Determinations of Neutrino Mass Hierarchy

Journal Article X. Qian, A. Tan, W. Wang, J. J. Ling, R. D. McKeown, C. Zhang - Phys.Rev.D

Statistical methods of presenting experimental results in constraining the neutrino mass hierarchy (MH) are discussed. Two problems are considered and are related to each other: how to report the findings for observed experimental data, and how to evaluate the ability of a future experiment to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy, namely, sensitivity of the experiment. For the first problem where experimental data have already been observed, the classical statistical analysis involves constructing confidence intervals for the parameter {Delta}m{sup 2}{sub 32}. These intervals are deduced from the parent distribution of the estimation of {Delta}m{sup 2}{sub 32} based on experimental data. Duemore »« less

Experimental requirements to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy using reactor neutrinos

Journal Article Liang, Zhan ; Yifang, Wang ; Jun, Cao ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

This paper presents experimental requirements to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy using reactor neutrinos. The detector shall be located at a baseline around 58 km from the reactor(s) to measure the energy spectrum of electron antineutrinos ({nu}{sub e}) precisely. By applying Fourier cosine and sine transforms to the L/E spectrum, features of the neutrino mass hierarchy can be extracted from the |{delta}m{sub 31}{sup 2}| and |{delta}m{sub 32}{sup 2}| oscillations. To determine the neutrino mass hierarchy above 90% probability, requirements to the baseline, the energy resolution, the energy scale uncertainty, the detector mass, and the event statistics are studied at differentmore » values of sin{sup 2}(2{theta}{sub 13})« less

Determining neutrino mass hierarchy by precise measurements of two delta m**2 in electron-neutrino and muon-neutrino disappearance experiments

Conference Minakata, H ; /Tokyo Metropolitan U. ; Nunokawa, H ; ... - Phys.Scripta T127:33-34,2006

In this talk, the authors discuss the possibility of determining the neutrino mass hierarchy by comparing the two effective atmospheric neutrino mass squared differences measured, respectively, in electron, and in muon neutrino disappearance oscillation experiments. if the former, is larger (smaller) than the latter, the mass hierarchy is of normal (inverted) type. They consider two very high precision (a few per mil) measurements of such mass squared differences by the phase II of the T2K (Tokai-to-Kamioka) experiment and by the novel Moessbauer enhanced resonant {bar {nu}}{sub e} absorption technique. Under optimistic assumptions for the systematic errors of both measurements, theymore »« less

Determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy via the phase of the disappearance oscillation probability with a monochromatic anti-electron-neutrino source

Journal Article Minakata, Hisakazu ; /Tokyo Metropolitan U. ; Nunokawa, Hiroshi ; ... - Phys.Rev.D76:053004,2007

The neutrino mass hierarchy can be determined, in principle, by measuring a phase in the disappearance oscillation probability in vacuum, without relying on the matter effect, using a single channel. This phase is not the same for the normal and inverted neutrino mass spectra. In this paper, we give a complete description and physics understanding of the method. The key feature of the method is to detect advancement (normal) or retardation (inverted) of the phase of the atmospheric-scale oscillation relative to the solar-scale oscillation. We then show that this method can be realized with the recently proposed resonant {bar {nu}}emore »« less
