Title: Non-standard neutrino interactions in the mu–tau sector

Abstract

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 ϵμτ 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.

Oscillation degeneracy in non-standard neutrino interactions

Journal Article Wright, Warren ; Department of Physics, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, North Carolina 27695 - AIP Conference Proceedings

The standard theory describing neutrino oscillations only uses the interactions predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics. However, there is plenty of room for non-standard interactions (NSI) to exist. This is because extra interactions are allowed by experimental error bars and even expected at some level from effective theory arguments. This research is focused on examining the phenomenological consequences of the new physics of NSI at large atmospheric neutrino detectors like IceCube DeepCore. Of particular focus are the degeneracies between and within the standard neutrino oscillation parameters and the NSI parameters. These degeneracies will be explored both analytically andmore »« less

BEAMING NEUTRINOS AND ANTI-NEUTRINOS ACROSS THE EARTH TO DISENTANGLE NEUTRINO MIXING PARAMETERS

Journal Article Fargion, Daniele ; D'Armiento, Daniele ; Paggi, Paolo ; ... - Astrophysical Journal

A result from MINOS seemed to indicate that the mass splitting and mixing angle of anti-neutrinos is different from that of neutrinos, suggesting a charge-parity-time (CPT) violation in the lepton sector. However, more recent MINOS data reduced the {nu}{sub {mu}}-{nu}-bar{sub {mu}} differences leading to a narrow discrepancy nearly compatible with no CPT violation. However, the last few years of OPERA activity on the appearance of a tau lepton (one unique event) still has not been probed and more tools may be required to disentangle a list of parameters ({mu}-{tau} flavor mixing, tau appearance, any eventual CPT violation, {theta}{sub 13} anglemore »« less

Future atmospheric neutrino measurements with PINGU

Journal Article Grant, D., E-mail: drg@ualberta.ca - AIP Conference Proceedings

Neutrino oscillations, first measured in 1998 via atmospheric neutrinos, have provided the only current direct evidence for physics beyond the Standard Model of Elementary Particles. The full neutrino mixing, described by six parameters, has been measured in the last decade with the exception of the charge-parity phase and the ordering of the mass eigenstates (the neutrino mass hierarchy – NMH). A relatively large mixing-angle between the first and third mass eigenstates has opened the possibility of measuring the mass hierarchy via atmospheric neutrinos using very large volume detectors. A leading proposal to perform this measurement is the future low-energy extensionmore »« less

(L{sub e}-L{sub {mu}-}L{sub {tau}}) discrete symmetry for heavy right-handed neutrinos and degenerate leptogenesis

Journal Article Riazuddin, - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

The degenerate leptogenesis is studied when the degeneracy in two of the heavy right-handed neutrinos [the third one is irrelevant if {mu}-{tau} symmetry is assumed] is due to L{identical_to}(L{sub e}-L{sub {mu}-}L{sub {tau}}) discrete symmetry. It is shown that a sizable leptogenesis asymmetry ({epsilon}{>=}10{sup -6}) is possible. The level of degeneracy required also predicts the Majorana phase needed for the asymmetry and this prediction is testable since it is the same phase, which appears in the double {beta} decay. Implications of nonzero reactor angle {theta}{sub 13} are discussed. It is shown that the contribution from sin{sup 2{theta}}{sub 13} to the leptogenesismore »« less

What does {mu}-{tau} symmetry imply about neutrino mixings?

Journal Article Fuki, Kenichi ; Yasue, Masaki ; Department of Physics, Tokai University, 1117 Kitakaname, Hiratsuka, Kanagawa 259-1292 - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

The requirement of the {mu}-{tau} symmetry in the neutrino sector that yields the maximal atmospheric neutrino mixing is shown to yield either sin{theta}{sub 13}=0 (referred to as C1)) or sin{theta}{sub 12}=0 (referred to as C2)), where {theta}{sub 12(13)} stands for the solar (reactor) neutrino mixing angle. We study general properties possessed by approximately {mu}-{tau} symmetric textures. It is argued that the tiny {mu}-{tau} symmetry breaking generally leads to cos2{theta}{sub 23}{approx}sin{theta}{sub 13} for C1) and cos2{theta}{sub 23}{approx}{delta}m{sub {center_dot}}{sup 2}/{delta}m{sub atm}{sup 2}({identical_to}R) for C2), which indicates that the smallness of cos2{theta}{sub 23} is a good measure of the {mu}-{tau} symmetry breaking, wheremore »« less
