“…In recent years, many experiments with short baselines [17,[57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69] have searched for oscillations using neutrinos from reactor and accelerator sources. The results are summarized in Table II.…”

Global three-parameter model for neutrino oscillations using Lorentz violation

2006

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A model of neutrino oscillations is presented that has only 3 degrees of freedom and appears compatible with existing data. The model is a subset of the renormalizable sector of the Standard-Model Extension (SME), and it offers a candidate alternative to the standard three-neutrino massive model. All classes of neutrino data are described, including solar, reactor, atmospheric, and LSND oscillations. The disappearance of solar neutrinos is obtained without matter-enhanced oscillations. Quantitative predictions are offered for the ongoing MiniBooNE experiment and for the future experiments OscSNS, NOvA, and T2K.

“…We consider null appearance searches at KARMEN [12], E776 [13], NOMAD [14], CCFR [15], and NuTeV [16], and we find that the preferred region using the new MBν data is no longer in tension with these searches, due to the lower-mass preferred region. Although the LSND and MB oscillation results are not strongly constrained by the null appearance searches, the mixing angle probed by the appearance experiments can be tightly constrained by combining the results of ν e and ν µ disappearance experiments.…”

Neutrino phenomenology in a3+1+1framework

2012

Evidence continues to grow in the MiniBooNE (MB) antineutrino mode supporting a low-energy excess compatible with the MB neutrino mode and possibly also confirming the results of the LSND experiment. At least one sterile neutrino is required to explain the anomalies consistent with the observations of other experiments. At the same time, there is a strong tension between the positive signals of LSND and MB and the null results of νe and νµ disappearance experiments. We explore a scenario, first proposed in [1], where the presence of an additional heavy sterile neutrino (with mass well above an eV) can alleviate tension between LSND, MB and the null results of disappearance experiments. We compare and contrast this 3+1+1 scenario with the more standard 3+1 scenario and carry out global fits to all oscillation data including new 2011 MBν data. We find that the tension can be somewhat alleviated and that a phenomenologically viable window for the heavy neutrino, consistent with rare decays and BBN constraints, can be found if the fifth neutrino has a mass of order 0.3 − 10 GeV. We also find, however, that the 2011 MBν data exacerbates the tension with null experiments in both the 3+1 and 3+1+1 models when the lowest energy bins are included, resulting in little improvement in the global fit. We also discuss the implications of an additional neutrino for the reactor and gallium anomalies, and show that an oscillation explanation of the anomalies is disfavored by cosmological considerations, direct searches, and precision electroweak tests.2

Quantum dissipative effects and neutrinos: Current constraints and future perspectives

et al. 2001

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

We establish the most stringent experimental constraints coming from recent terrestrial neutrino experiments on quantum mechanical decoherence effects in neutrino systems. Taking a completely phenomenological approach, we probe vacuum oscillations plus quantum decoherence between two neutrino species in the channels ν µ → ν τ , ν µ → ν e and ν e → ν τ , admitting that the quantum decoherence parameter γ is related to the neutrino energy E ν as : γ = γ 0 E n ν , with n = −1, 0, 1 and 2. Our bounds are valid for a neutrino mass squared difference compatible with the atmospheric, the solar and, in many cases, the LSND scale. We also qualitatively discuss the perspectives of the future long baseline neutrino experiments to further probe quantum dissipation.
