    Supernova Neutrino Spectrum with Matter and Spin Flavor Precession Effects

    Full text link
    We consider Majorana neutrino conversions inside supernovae by taking into account both flavor mixing and the neutrino magnetic moment. We study the adiabaticity of various possible transitions between the neutrino states for both normal and inverted hierarchy within the various solar neutrino problem solutions. From the final mass spectrum within diffrent scenarios, we infer the consequences of the various conversion effects on the neutronization peak, the nature of final spectra, and the possible Earth matter effect on the final fluxes. This enable us to check the sensibility of the SN neutrino flux on magnetic moment interaction, and narrow down possible scenarios which depend on: the mass spectrum normal or inverted, the solution of the solar neutrino problem; and the value of MuxB.Comment: 24pages, 7 figure

    We analyzed the atmospheric neutrino experiments of SuperKamiokande including zenith angle dependence's using the three-flavor neutrino framework with the hierarchy m^2_1 \approx m^2_2<<m^2_3. Taking into account the terrestrial, solar neutrino experimental data and the atmospheric neutrino experiments including the sub-GeV and multi-GeV data in SuperKamiokande, large angle solution in the solar neutrino experiments is favored and the range of the mass parameter Deltam^2_{23} is restricted between 0.08eV^2 - 2eV^2. Allowed regions of mixing parameters are (theta_{13}<4degree, 27degree<theta_{23}< 32degree) for Delta m_{23}^2=1eV^2 and (theta_{13}<3degree, 28degree<theta_{23} <33degree) for Deltam_{23}^2=0.1 eV^2.Comment: 21 pages, LaTe

    Neutrino Mass

    Neutrinos play a dominant role in both particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology. In the our present understanding of the strong, weak, and electromagnetic forces, the group structure of the Standard Model is SU(3)[sub C] [circle times] SU(2)[sub L] [circle times] U(I)[sub EM]. In the Weinberg-Salam-Glashow Standard Electroweak Model, left-handed neutrinos sit in a doublet, while right-handed neutrinos are in a singlet, and therefore do not interact with the other known particles. Also in this model, the neutrinos are intrinsically massless. However, while the W-S-G model provides an amazingly accurate picture of our present cold Universe, It has a number of deficits. The Standard Model does not explain the origin of the group structure, It does not reduce the number of coupling constants required, nor does it offer any prediction for the physical masses of the particles. Thus, it is generally assumed that the Standard Model is but a subset of some larger gauge theory. A wide variety of Grand Unified field Theories (GUTs), Super Symmetric Models (SUSY), and Superstring models have been proposed as the model for this larger structure. In general, these models predict nonzero neutrino masses and contain mechanisms that provide for lepton-number violation. Thus, a variety of new phenomena are predicted, including finite neutrino masses and the possibility that neutrinos can oscillate from one type to another. This report looks at the possibility of detecting neutrino vat mass
