Tree-level Parameters: and sin2W(on-shell)
• Either sin2W(on-shell) or 0 could agree with SM but both agreeing
simultaneously is unlikely

Why is Neutrino Oscillation Important?• Neutrinos are one of the fundamental constituents in nature
– Three weak eigenstates based on SM• Left handed particles and right handed anti-particles only
– Violates parity Why only neutrinos?– Is it because of its masslessness?
• SM based on massless neutrinos• Mass eigenstates of neutrinos makes flavors to mix• SM in trouble…• Many experimental results showing definitive evidences of
neutrino oscillation– SNO giving 5 sigma results

Sources for Oscillation Experiments• Must have some way of knowing the flux
– Why?• Natural Sources
– Solar neutrinos– Atmospheric neutrinos
• Manmade Sources– Nuclear Reactor– Accelerator

Oscillation Detectors• The most important factor is the energy of neutrinos
and its products from interactions• Good particle ID is crucial• Detectors using natural sources
– Deep under ground to minimize cosmic ray background– Use Cerenkov light from secondary interactions of
neutrinose + e e+X: electron gives out Cerenkov light CC interactions, resulting in muons with Cerenkov light
• Detectors using accelerator made neutrinos– Look very much like normal neutrino detectors
• Need to increase statistics

– This reaction gives 2 and 1 e

Accelerator Based Experiments• Mostly from accelerators• Long and Short baseline experiments
– Long baseline: Detectors located far away from the source, assisted by a similar detector at a very short distance (eg. MINOS: 370km, K2K: 250km, etc)
• Compare the near detector with the far detector, taking into account angular dispersion
– Short baseline: Detectors located at a close distance to the source
• Need to know flux well
