Neutrino Oscillations

After many years of research (since 1968!) it was established in 1998 that neutrinos change flavor when travelling through space. First observation: solar neutrinos ! (150 000 000 km)Second observation: neutrinos produced in the atmosphere and going throughthe earth. (13000 km) Recent observation 2003 (exp. K2K, 250 km) accelerator neutrinos

Observation of a quantum phenomenon over distances of hundred to millions of km


The neutrino mixing matrix: 3 angles and a phase

Consequences of 3-family oscillations:

I There will be ↔ e and ↔ e

oscillation at L atm

P (↔ e )max =~ ½ sin 22 13 +… (small)

II There will be CP or T violation

CP: P (↔ e) ≠ P (↔ e

T : P (↔ e) ≠ P (e ↔

III we do not know if the neutrino which contains more e

is the lightest one (natural?) or not.

1. We know that there are three families of active, light neutrinos (LEP)2. Solar neutrino oscillations are established (Homestake+Gallium+Kam+SK+SNO+KamLAND)3. Atmospheric () oscillations are established (IMB+Kam+SK+Macro+Sudan+K2K)

4. At that frequency, electron neutrino oscillations are small (CHOOZ) This allows a consistent picture with 3-family oscillations ~300 m12

2~7 10-5eV2 ~450 m23 2~ 2.5 10-3eV2 ~ 100 with several unknown parameters mass hierarchy

Where are we?

*)to set the scale: CP violation in quarks was discovered in 1964 and there is still an important program (K0pi0, B-factories, Neutron EDM, LHCb, BTeV….) to go on for >>10 years…i.e. a total of >50 yrs. and we have not discovered leptonic CP yet!

5. LSND ? ( miniBooNe) This result is not consistent with three families of neutrinos oscillating, and is not supported (nor is it completely contradicted) by other experiments.

If confirmed, this would be even more exciting See Barger et al PRD 63 033002

Where do we go? leptonic CP & T violations=> an exciting experimental program for at least 25 years *)

NOTE:This is at first maximum!Sensitivity at low valuesof 13 is better for short baselines, sensitivity at large values of 13 may be better for longer baselines (2d max or 3d max.) This would desserve a more careful analysis!


LEPTONIC T , CP VIOLATION

The baryon asymmetry in the Universe… requires CP or T violation.

That of the quarks is not enough!

Boris Kayser

This leptonic asymmetry would in turn generate baryon asymmetry. (energies typical of the particles that would be exchanged in Baryon decay 1011-15 GeV or so)

NB this is CP asymmetry for the Heavy Majorana Neutrinos 1. we don’t know if neutrinos are Majorana particles 2. The CP phases that enter are those of the heavy neutrinos, not the light ones.

Nevertheless: leptonic CP violation may be the reason why we exist… lets look for it!


Road Map

Experiments to find : 1. search for e in conventional beam (MINOS,

ICARUS/OPERA) limitations: NC background, intrinsic e component in beam 2. Off-axis beam (JHF-SK, off axis NUMI, off axis CNGS) or 3. Low Energy Superbeam (BNL Homestake, SPL Fréjus)

Precision experiments to find CP violation -- or to search further if is too small

Some coments about the off-axis beam

The off-axis technique is, really, a way to tune the pion-neutrino beam energy.

The fact that the e component is 0.2-0.3% under the pion neutrino energy peak is true more or less in any wide-band beam.

There is a loss of neutrino events wrt on axis wide-band beam due to the fact that the neutrino cross-section is proportional to E.

In addition, the beam systematics are very different from those we are used to.In first order the flux is now insensitive to the secondary particles energy but is is now sensitive directly to angular variables in the beam (alignment, pion production angular distribution etc….

A NEW GAME!

Finally the oscillation experiment is performed for neutrino energies of 500-800 MeVfor which very little is known. (e.g. in GGM, a cut was placed at 1 GeV for neutrino energy)Precise measurement of the properties of these events (and of neutral currents with this visible energy) is crucial for the experiment.

Can this work???? theoretical studies now on beta beam + SPL target and horn R&D design study together with EURISOL


DUTY FACTOR(this is an issue for low energy superbeam and beta beam)

Sub-GeV Atmospheric Neutrino interactions are at rate ~100/kt/year.

~ 50% e and 50%

For a 500 kton detector this will give 50 000 events of the wrong lepton

At this energy the directionality if poor (cuts will not be effective)

It is necesary to discriminate with timing!

Duty factor required < 10-3

SPL (50 Hz), needs 20 microseconds every 20 ms. (accumulator)

Betabeam : needs stacking of ions along the perimeter of the SR. (2 bunches of 10ns / 7km)

(more bunches of same intensity OK)

HIPPI


EMCOG (European Muon Concertation and Oversight Group) FIRST SET OF BASIC GOALS

The long-term goal is to have a Conceptual Design Report for a European Neutrino Factory Complex by the time of JHF & LHC start-up, so that, by that date, this would be a valid option for the future of CERN. An earlier construction for the proton driver (SPL + accumulator & compressor rings) is conceivable and, of course, highly desirable. The SPL and targetry and horn R&D have therefore to be given the highest priority.

Cooling is on the critical path for the neutrino factory itself; there is a consensus that a cooling experiment is a necessity.

The emphasis should be the definition of practical experimental projects with a duration of 2-5 years. Such projects can be seen in the following four areas:

Neutrino Factory studies and R&D

USA, Europe, Japan have each their scheme. Only one has been costed, US study II:

Neutrino Factory CAN be done…..but it is too expensive as is. Aim: ascertain challenges can be met + cut cost in half.

+ detector: MINOS * 10 = about 300 M€ or M$


1. High intensity proton driver. Activities on the front end are ongoing in many laboratories in Europe, in particular at CERN, CEA, IN2P3, INFN and GSI. Progressive installation of a high intensity injector and of a linear accelerator up to 120 MeV at CERN (R. Garoby et al) would have immediate rewards in the increase of intensity for the CERN fixed target program and for LHC operation. This (HIPPI) has received funding from EU!

2. Target studies problem at 4 MW!!. This experimental program is underway with liquid metal jet studies. Goal: explore synergies

among the following parties involved: CERN, Lausanne, Megapie at PSI, EURISOL, etc…Experiment at CERN under consideration by the collaboration. (H. Kirk et al)

3. Horn studies. Problem at 50 Hz and 4 MW A first horn prototype has been built and pulsed at low intensity. Mechanical properties measured

(S. Gilardoni’s thesis, GVA) 5 year program to reach high intensity, high rep rate pulsing, and study the radiation resistance of

horns. Optimisation of horn shape. IN2P3 Orsay has become leading house for this. Collaborations to be sought with Saclay, PSI (for material research and fatigue under high stress in radiation environment)

4. Muon Ionization Cooling Never done! A collaboration towards and International cooling experiment MICE has been established with the

muon collaboration in United States and Japanese groups. There is a large interest from European groups in this experiment. Following the submission of a letter of Intent to PSI and RAL, the collaboration has prepared a full proposal at RAL. Proposal has been strongly encouraged and large UK funding secured (10M£). PSI offers a solenoid for the muon beam line CERN, which as already made large initial contributions in the concept of the experiment, has earmarked some very precious hardware that could be recuperated. (RF! Cryo?)More collaboration needed from European institutes outside UK.

COOLING RINGSTwo goals: 1) Reduce hardware expense on cooling channel 2) Combine with energy spread reduction (longitudinal and transverse cooling)

major problem: Kickers

(Same problem occurs in Japanese acceleration scheme with FFAG)


Yoshi Mori NB: a standard cyclotron would be MUCH smaller and inexpensivebut would have much smaller acceptance and could not be scaled upto higher energies.


SPL Physics workshop 25-27 May 2004EMCOG recommended a study of SPL physics opportunities in the framework of the ECFA working groups and BENE(neutrinos + low energy muons + Eurisol + …)

SuperBeam/neutrino Factory design study EMCOG fully endorses the proposal and calls for proposals for the R&D experiments. It is stressed that support from the home countries and laboratories is essential to complete the EU funding.

Beta-beam design study EMCOG finds this possibility very promising and deserving a thorough study in the best conditions. The subject is very specific and pertinent to a particular site and would justify a separate design study. This has been accepted as a EURISOL work package.


Design studies

FP6 foresees funding for design studies of new infrastructures. Encouraged by EU in reference with the (approved) CARE.

In preparation ( March 2005) is the proposal for a European based Design study of a

Superbeam and Neutrino Factory RAL as leading house. (Peach/Edgecock)

Proton driver CERN in coll. with RAL, etc.,Target many interested. Still searching a leading house. (PSI not interested?) TTA at CERN under consideration. (pulsed beam important)Horn and collectors LAL orsayCooling; MICEAcceleration, FFAG Saclay, GrenobleDesign

Europe alone does not have critical mass for all this. => world collaboration with USA and Japan was launched at NUFACT03 in June 2003.


ConclusionsNeutrino Physics is alive an attractive. We have an exciting program for many years. discovery and studies of leptonic CP violationThis addresses very fundamental questions (GUTS, matter asymmetry, masses) from a completely different viewpoint than the energy frontier.

1. We should not miss the opportunity to make a coherent contribution to JPARC-

2. We must however make sure that there is a competitive long term program in Europe

SPL is a good start and we must support it very strongly.

Without target, horns etc… it would be however useless for neutrino physics there is a strong physics program with a neutrino superbeam (2015 seems a goal date) and at a later stage beta-beam

SPL makes full sense for particle physics as a driver for a neutrino factory

There are several severe questions to solve before either can be proposed. design studies with the aim of Conceptual Design Report at LHC/J-Parc start-up


Conclusions II

After an exciting start in 1998/1999 (NUFACT99 and NFWG…) we had two difficult years in 2001-2003.

We see now positive signals: -- approval of HIPPI and BENE inside CARE -- SPL seems well on the way -- strong supprt of Dapnia+IN2P3 – INFN for Fréjus Laboratory -- Support and scientific approval of MICE at RAL Next big mountain is success in the Design Study Proposals and of the SPL workshop!

good luck to us!
