Synergies and Prospects for Early Resolution of the Neutrino Mass Ordering
The measurement of neutrino Mass Ordering (MO) is a fundamental element for
the understanding of leptonic flavour sector of the Standard Model of Particle
Physics. Its determination relies on the precise measurement of and using either neutrino vacuum oscillations, such
as the ones studied by medium baseline reactor experiments, or matter effect
modified oscillations such as those manifesting in long-baseline neutrino beams
(LBB) or atmospheric neutrino experiments. Despite existing MO indication
today, a fully resolved MO measurement (5) is most likely to
await for the next generation of neutrino experiments: JUNO, whose stand-alone
sensitivity is 3, or LBB experiments (DUNE and
Hyper-Kamiokande). Upcoming atmospheric neutrino experiments are also expected
to provide precious information. In this work, we study the possible context
for the earliest full MO resolution. A firm resolution is possible even before
2028, exploiting mainly vacuum oscillation, upon the combination of JUNO and
the current generation of LBB experiments (NOvA and T2K). This opportunity
is possible thanks to a powerful synergy boosting the overall sensitivity where
the sub-percent precision of by LBB experiments is found
to be the leading order term for the MO earliest discovery. We also found that
the comparison between matter and vacuum driven oscillation results enables
unique discovery potential for physics beyond the Standard Model.Comment: Entitled in arXiv:2008.11280v1 as "Earliest Resolution to the

The happiest women have no history: Womens Writing of the British Women Writers and George Eliot
The essay presents a recuperative reading of George Eliots The Mill on
the Floss, a controversial feminist text for its heroines renunciation
buttressed by the authors deterministic outlook. The novels fatalistic
drive, the essay discovers, is an illuminating outcome of Eliots complex
engagement with the notion of womens place in history. With her
strategic appropriation of the comprehensive, indiscriminating, all-encompassing
capacity of History, Eliot regards it as a sort of ultimate horizon to which
every single life and every single meaning must surrender itself. History
requires her female characters to be absorbed eventually into the stream of
time, which is poetically metaphorized in the novel through the
overwhelming image of the Floss river.
The essay begins with a dialogue with Virginia Woolfs thoughtprovoking
idea of integrity of womens writing; Woolfs thesis that
women writers should transcend their sexuality in order to command
artistic control over their writing resonates with Eliots deeply sensitive
treatment of distance from female characters she creates. Then the essay
analyzes how Eliot formulates realism as an important and enabling
principle to embody the vision of History. Eliots devotion to detached and
realistic representation of womens lives, a quintessential hallmark of her
writing, signifies her desire to position herself as a decent figure of letters
distinguished from lady novelists whose writing can be easily branded as
simply female writing. And the essay goes on to argue that Eliot, in her
stark refusal to write as a woman, explores womens writing that cannot
be reduced to some type of gender-specific mode of writing which is
customary and definable. To sum up, in The Mill on the Floss, Eliot
attempts to place women in History, paradoxically enough, by erasing
women from so-called natural history; such a poignant paradox of womens
writing is well captured in one of the most impressive quotes from the
novel, The happiest women have no history

Synergies and prospects for early resolution of the neutrino mass ordering
The measurement of neutrino mass ordering (MO) is a fundamental element for the understanding of leptonic flavour sector of the Standard Model of Particle Physics. Its determination relies on the precise measurement of Δm312 and Δm322 using either neutrino vacuum oscillations, such as the ones studied by medium baseline reactor experiments, or matter effect modified oscillations such as those manifesting in long-baseline neutrino beams (LBνB) or atmospheric neutrino experiments. Despite existing MO indication today, a fully resolved MO measurement (≥ 5 σ) is most likely to await for the next generation of neutrino experiments: JUNO, whose stand-alone sensitivity is ∼ 3 σ, or LBνB experiments (DUNE and Hyper-Kamiokande). Upcoming atmospheric neutrino experiments are also expected to provide precious information. In this work, we study the possible context for the earliest full MO resolution. A firm resolution is possible even before 2028, exploiting mainly vacuum oscillation, upon the combination of JUNO and the current generation of LBνB experiments (NOvA and T2K). This opportunity is possible thanks to a powerful synergy boosting the overall sensitivity where the sub-percent precision of Δm322 by LBνB experiments is found to be the leading order term for the MO earliest discovery. We also found that the comparison between matter and vacuum driven oscillation results enables unique discovery potential for physics beyond the Standard Model
Earliest Resolution to the Neutrino Mass Ordering?
We hereby illustrate and numerically demonstrate via a simplified proof of concept calculation tuned to the latest average neutrino global data that the combined sensitivity of JUNO with NOvA and T2K experiments has the potential to be the first fully resolved (5) measurement of neutrino Mass Ordering (MO) around 2028; tightly linked to the JUNO schedule. Our predictions account for the key ambiguities and the most relevant 1 data fluctuations. In the absence of any concrete MO theoretical prediction and given its intrinsic binary outcome, we highlight the benefits of having such a resolved measurement in the light of the remarkable MO resolution ability of the next generation of long baseline neutrino beams experiments. We motivate the opportunity of exploiting the MO experimental framework to scrutinise the standard oscillation model, thus, opening for unique discovery potential, should unexpected discrepancies manifest. Phenomenologically, the deepest insight relies on the articulation of MO resolved measurements via at least the two possible methodologies matter effects and purely vacuum oscillations. Thus, we argue that the JUNO vacuum MO measurement may feasibly yield full resolution in combination to the next generation of long baseline neutrino beams experiments
