Perturbing neutrino oscillations around the solar resonance
Abstract
Atmospheric neutrinos at low energies, $$E \lesssim 500$$ MeV, are known to be a rich source of information on lepton mixing parameters. We formulate a simple perturbative framework to elucidate the characteristic features of neutrino oscillation at around the solar-scale enhancement due to the matter effect. The clearest message that we could extract from our perturbation theory is that CP violation in the appearance oscillation probability is large, a factor of $$\sim 10$$ times larger than CP violation at around the atmospheric-scale oscillation maximum. The underlying mechanism for this is that one of the suppression factors on the CP phase-dependent terms due to the smallness of $$\Delta m^2_{21} / \Delta m^2_{31}$$ is dynamically lifted by the solar-scale enhancement. Our framework has a unique feature as a perturbation theory in which a large $$\Delta m^2_{31}$$ term outside the key 1-2 sector for the solar-scale resonance does not yield sizable corrections. On the contrary, the larger the $$\Delta m^2_{31}$$, the smaller the higher-order corrections.
