    Some comments on high precision study of neutrino oscillations

    Full text link
    I discuss some problems connected with the high precision study of neutrino oscillations. In the general case of nn-neutrino mixing I derive a convenient expression for transition probability in which only independent terms (and mass-squared differences) enter. For three-neutrino mixing I discuss a problem of a definition of a large (atmospheric) neutrino mass-squared difference. I comment also possibilities to reveal the character of neutrino mass spectrum in future reactor neutrino experiments

    Neutrinos: past, present, future

    A general overview of neutrino physics is given. The history of the neutrino starting from Pauli and Fermi is briefly presented. Two-component neutrinos, the phenomenological V-A theory and the standard model are discussed. The problem of neutrino masses and mixing is reviewed.Comment: 18 pages, no figures.

    Neutrino Mixing

    Full text link
    In the first part of these lectures the neutrino mixing hypothesis will be considered in detail. We will discuss the possible schemes of neutrino mixing and present the data of the recent experiments searching for effects due to nonvanishing neutrino masses and mixing angles.In the second part of these lectures the physics of solar neutrinos will be considered.We will discuss the MSW resonance solution of the equation of evolution of a neutrino in matter and present data of solar neutrino experiments.Comment: DFTT 67/92, LaTeX file, no figure

    Recoilless Resonance Absorption of Tritium Antineutrinos and Time-Energy Uncertainty Relation

    Full text link
    We discuss neutrino oscillations in an experiment with M\"ossbauer recoilless resonance absorbtion of tritium antineutrinos, proposed recently by Raghavan. We demonstrate that small energy uncertainty of antineutrinos which ensures a large resonance absorption cross section is in a conflict with the energy uncertainty which, according to the time-energy uncertainty relation, is necessary for neutrino oscillations to happen. The search for neutrino oscillations in the M\"ossbauer neutrino experiment would be an important test of the applicability of the time-energy uncertainty relation to a newly discovered interference phenomenon

    Neutrino Oscillations and Time-Energy Uncertainty Relation

    Full text link
    Neutrino oscillations is a phenomenon which is characterized by a finite oscillation time (length). For such phenomena time-energy uncertainty relation is valid. This means that energy uncertainty is needed for oscillations to occur. We consider neutrino oscillations from this point of view. We demonstrate that for mixed neutrino states, which describe flavor neutrinos νe\nu_{e}, νμ\nu_{\mu} and ντ\nu_{\tau}, translational invariance does not take place.Comment: 14 page

    On the status of neutrino mixing and oscillations

    Full text link
    Evidences in favor of neutrino oscillations, obtained in the solar and atmospheric neutrino experiments, are discussed. Neutrino oscillations in the solar and atmospheric ranges of the neutrino mass-squared differences are considered in the framework of the minimal scheme with the mixing of three massive neutrinos.Comment: Report at the XVI Recontres de Physique de La Vallee d'Aoste, La Thuile, Aosta Valley (Italy) March 3-9, 200

    The basics of neutrino oscillations is presented. Existing evidences of neutrino oscillations, obtained in the atmospheric and solar neutrino experiments, are considered. The new CHOOZ bound on the element Ue32|U_{e3}|^{2}, obtained from the three-neutrino analysis of the data, is discussed. Decoupling of neutrino oscillations in the solar neutrino range of Δm2\Delta m^{2} is considered.Comment: Lectures at Corfu Summer Institute on Elementary Particle Physics, Corfu, 31.8 - 20.9. 200
