Spontaneous Symmetry BreakingWhile the collection of ground states does preserve the symmetry in L, the Feynman formalism allows to work with only one of the ground states through the local gauge symmetry Causes the symmetry to break.This is called “spontaneous” symmetry breaking, because symmetry breaking is not externally caused.
The true symmetry of the system is hidden by an arbitrary choice of a particular ground state. This is the case of discrete symmetry w/ 2 ground states.

The Higgs Mechanism• Recovery from a spontaneously broken electroweak
symmetry gives masses to gauge fields (W and Z) and produce a massive scalar boson– The gauge vector bosons become massive (W and Z) – The massive scalar boson produced through this
spontaneous EW symmetry breaking is the Higgs particle• In SM, the Higgs boson is a ramification of the
mechanism that gives masses to weak vector bosons, leptons and quarks

How do we make a Neutrino Beam?
• Use large number of protons on target to produce many secondary hadrons (, K, D, etc) and focus as many of them as possible
• Let and K decay in-flight for beam in the decay pipe– +K
• Let the beam go through shield and dirt to filter out and the remaining hadrons, except for – Dominated by
p
Good target
Good beam focusing
Long decay region
Sufficient dump

11
How can we select sign of neutrinos?• Neutrinos are electrically neutral• Need to select the charge of the secondary hadrons
from the proton interaction on target• Sets of Dipoles are used to select desired charges of
the secondary hadrons
di-poles
Wednesday, Nov. 29, 2006 PHYS 3446, Fall 2006Jae Yu
12
How can there be wrong sign of neutrinos in a sign selected beam?
• Interaction of correct sign secondary hadrons with beamline elements, including dump and shields– Act as if a fixed target is hit by hadron beam
• Back-scatter of unused protons into the beamline
• CP violating neutrino oscillations

Neutrino Oscillation• First suggestion of neutrino mixing by B. Pontecorvo at the
K0, K0-bar mixing in 1957• Solar neutrino deficit in 1969 by Ray Davis in Homestake
Mine in SD. Called MSW effect• Caused by the two different eigenstates for mass and weak• Neutrinos change their flavor as they travel Neutrino
flavor mixing• SM based on massless neutrinos• SM inconsistent• Oscillation probability depends on
– Distance between the source and the observation point– Energy of the neutrinos– Difference in square of the masses

Neutrino Oscillation Formalism• Two neutrino mixing case:
sin cos 1 2
where and are weak eigenstates, while and are mass eigenstates, and is the mixing angle that give the extent of mass eigenstate mixture, analogous to Cabbio angle

Sources for Oscillation Experiments• Natural Sources
– Solar neutrinos– Atmospheric neutrinos
• Manmade Sources– Nuclear Reactor– Accelerator
Wednesday, Nov. 29, 2006 PHYS 3446, Fall 2006Jae Yu
20
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
neutrinos• e + e e+X: electron gives out Čerenkov light• CC interactions, resulting in muons with Čerenkov light
• Detectors using accelerator made neutrinos– Look very much like normal neutrino detectors
• Need to increase statistics

Atmospheric Neutrinos & Their Flux• Neutrinos resulting from the atmospheric
interactions of cosmic ray particles– He, p, etc + N ,K, etc

traveled through the earth• The dependence to the angle is a direct proof of the oscillation

25
Accelerator Based Experiments• Mostly from accelerators• Far better control for the beam than natural or
reactor sources• 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 kinematic quantities measured at 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

Future: Neutrino Factory• Spin-off of a muon collider research
– One a hot, summer day at BNL, the idea of neutrino storage ring popped up
• Future facility using muon storage ring, providing well understood neutrino beam ( and e) at about 106 times higher intensity

What do we know now?• We clearly know neutrinos oscillate Neutrinos have
masses• It seems that there are three allowed regions of
parameters (sin22 and m2) that the current data seem to point– LSND ~1eV2; Super-K ~ 10-3 eV2, Solar (LMA) ~ 10-5 eV2
– There are at least three flavors participating in oscillation– Sin2223 ~ 1 at 90% confidence level– |m32
2| ~ 2x10-3 eV2
– m212 ~ 2x10-3 eV2 (If LMA confirmed)
– Sin2212 ~ 0.87 at 90% confidence level (if LMA confirmed)– Sin2213 < O(0.1)
Wednesday, Nov. 29, 2006 PHYS 3446, Fall 2006Jae Yu
31
What do we not know?• Does 3-flavor mixing provide the right framework?
– For CP–violating oscillation, additional neutrino flavors, neutrino decay, etc?
• How many flavors of neutrinos do we have?• Is sin2213 0 or small?
• What is the sign of m32?– What are the configuration of neutrino masses?– What are the actual masses of neutrinos mass eigenstates?
• What are the matter effects?• Is sin2223 = 1?

Issues in SM• Why are the masses of quarks, leptons and vector bosons the
way they are?• Why are there three families of fundamental particles?• What gives the particle their masses?• Do the neutrinos have mass?• Why is the universe dominated by particles?
– What happened to anti-particles?• What are the dark matter and dark energy?• Are quarks and leptons the “real” fundamental particles?• Other there other particles that we don’t know of?• Why are there only four forces?• How is the universe created?• Where are we from?

Feynman Rules• The rules for any process are: • Draw all possible diagrams
– Different time-orderings of a given process are represented by the same diagram.
• Given the initial momentum and energy, define how momentum and energy flow for each line in the diagram. – Where each diagram has a closed loop, there is an arbitrary momentum
and energy flow around the loop and we must integrate over all possible choices for these quantities.
– Each intermediate line in the diagram contributes a factor to the amplitude of 1/(E2-p2c2-m2c4) where m is the appropriate mass for the particle type represented by the line. Note that this says that the more "virtual" the particle represented by a line is, the smaller the contribution of the diagram.
• Add the amplitude factors from all possible diagrams to get the total amplitude for the process.
