Title: Neutrinos in large extra dimensions and short-baseline $ν_{e}$ appearance

Abstract

Here, we show that, in the presence of bulk masses, sterile neutrinos propagating in large extra dimensions (LED) can induce electron-neutrino appearance effects. This is in contrast to what happens in the standard LED scenario, and hence LED models with explicit bulk masses have the potential to address the MiniBooNE and LSND appearance results as well as the reactor and Gallium anomalies. A special feature in our scenario is that the mixing of the first Kaluza-Klein modes to active neutrinos can be suppressed, making the contribution of heavier sterile neutrinos to oscillations relatively more important. We study the implications of this neutrino mass generation mechanism for current and future neutrino oscillation experiments and show that the Short Baseline Neutrino Program at Fermilab will be able to efficiently probe such a scenario. In addition, this framework leads to massive Dirac neutrinos and thus precludes any signal in neutrinoless double beta decay experiments.

Baseline-dependent neutrino oscillations with extra-dimensional shortcuts

Journal Article Hollenberg, Sebastian ; Micu, Octavian ; Paes, Heinrich ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

In extra-dimensional scenarios oscillations between active and sterile neutrinos can be governed by a new resonance in the oscillation amplitude. This resonance results when cancellation occurs between two phase differences, the usual kinematic one coming from the neutrino mass-squared difference, and a geometric one coming from the difference in travel times of the sterile neutrino through the bulk relative to the active neutrino confined to the brane. In this work we introduce a specific metric for the brane-bulk system, from which we explicitly derive extra-dimensional geodesics for the sterile neutrino, and ultimately the oscillation probability of the active-sterile two-state system.more »« less

Sterile Neutrino Searches in MINOS and MINOS+ Experiments

Thesis/Dissertation Huang, Junting

This dissertation presents the searches on sterile neutrinos using the data collected in MINOS+ Experiment from September 2013 to September 2014, and the full data set of MINOS Experiment collected from 2005 to 2012. Anomalies in short baseline experiments, such as LSND and MiniBooNE, showed hints of sterile neutrinos, a type of neutrino that does not interact with the Standard Model particles. In this work, two models are considered: 3+1 and large extra dimension (LED). In the 3+1 model, one sterile neutrino state is added into the standard oscillation scheme consisting of three known active neutrino states v_e, v_μ andmore »« less

A Search for Large Extra Dimensions with MINOS and MINOS+

Thesis/Dissertation De Rijck, Simon

This dissertation presents the search for large extra dimensions using the rich and unique accelerator beam neutrino data collected by the MINOS and MINOS+ experiments from 2005 to 2012 and 2013 to 2016, respectively. Most data from neutrino oscillation experiments are consistent with the standard three-flavor paradigm. With increasing experimental precision, potential effects from physics beyond the Standard Model that could modify neutrino oscillations in subtle ways can be explored. One such scenario involves additional spatial dimensions. Following the Large Extra Dimensions (LED) model, sterile neutrinos arising as Kaluza-Klein states in an extra dimension with size R can mix with the three active neutrinos in 3+1 spacetime, thereby altering the neutrino oscillation probabilities. In addition, this model provides a natural explanation for small Dirac neutrino masses through mass suppression by the volume of the large extra dimensions. In this work, two analysis strategie s are employed to search for large extra dimensions: the Far-over-Near analysis and the two-detector analysis. In the former, the ratio of the neutrino energy spectra measured in the MINOS Far and Near Detectors is used to constrain the LED model parameters, while in the latter the measured spectra are used simultaneously. MINOS reported the strongest constraint on R from a neutrino oscillation experiment, constraining R to be smaller thanmore »« less

In models with Large Extra Dimensions the smallness of neutrino masses can be naturally explained by introducing gauge singlet fermions which propagate in the bulk. The Kaluza-Klein modes of these fermions appear as towers of sterile neutrino states on the brane. We study the phenomenological consequences of this picture for the high energy atmospheric neutrinos. For this purpose we construct a detailed equivalence between a model with large extra dimensions and a (3+n) scenario consisting of three active and n extra sterile neutrino states, which provides a clear intuitive understanding of Kaluza-Klein modes. Finally, we analyze the collected data ofmore »« less

Large Extra Dimensions, Sterile Neutrinos and Solar Neutrino Data

Journal Article Caldwell, D O ; Mohapatra, R N ; Yellin, S J - Physical Review Letters

Solar, atmospheric, and LSND neutrino oscillation results require a light sterile neutrino, {nu}{sub B} , which can exist in the bulk of extra dimensions. Solar {nu}{sub e} , confined to the brane, can oscillate in the vacuum to the zero mode of {nu}{sub B} and via successive Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein transitions to Kaluza-Klein states of {nu}{sub B} . This new way to fit solar data is provided by both low and intermediate string scale models. From average rates seen in the three types of solar experiments, the Super-Kamiokande spectrum is predicted with 73% probability, but dips characteristic of the 0.06 mm extramore »« less
