Foreseeing Neutrino spectra in Deep Core

Atmospheric muon neutrino in Deep Core (whose rate and spectra might be soon available) should exhibit a suppression (due to tens GeV up-going muon neutrino converted into tau flavor) that must be imprinted in out-coming rate spectra. We estimate here our independent muon neutrino spectra based on SK and its projected record on Deep Core Channels. Our estimate (based on cosmic rays, muon records and tested Super-Kamiokande (SK) data) differs both in shape and in rate from other previous published spectra. The expected rate might exhibit a minimum near channel 6 of Deep Core strings and it should manifest strong signature for flavor mixing (mostly between channel 4--15)and a relevant anomaly for eventual CPT violation (MINOS like) written at channel 3--6,whose statistical weight (mainly at channel 5) might soon confirm or dismiss MINOS CPT claim. At the flux minimum around channel 6, (a flux suppressed respect the non oscillated case at least by an order of magnitude) the atmospheric neutrino paucity offers a better windows to a twenty GeV Neutrino Astronomy. Therefore by doubling the string array we may foresee a richer rate and a more complete (zenith and azimuth) atmospheric neutrino distribution and an exciting first twenty GeV Astronomy.Comment: 8 pages, 8 figure

Future Precision Neutrino Oscillation Experiments and Theoretical Implications

Future neutrino oscillation experiments will lead to precision measurements of neutrino mass splittings and mixings. The flavour structure of the lepton sector will therefore at some point become better known than that of the quark sector. This article discusses the potential of future oscillation experiments on the basis of detailed simulations with an emphasis on experiments which can be done in about ten years. In addition, some theoretical implications for neutrino mass models will be briefly discussed.Comment: Talk given at Nobel Symposium 2004: Neutrino Physics, Haga Slott, Enkoping, Sweden, 19-24 Aug 200
