The Three Neutrino Scenario

Original · EN

I have discussed in my talk several remaining issues in the standard three-flavor mixing scheme of neutrinos, in particilar, the sign of Δm²₁₃ and the leptonic CP violating phase. In this report I focus on two topics: (1) supernova method for determining the former sign, and (2) illuminating how one can detect the signatures for both of them in long-baseline (10 km) neutrino oscillation experiments. I do this by formulating perturbative frameworks appropriate for the two typical options of such experiments, the high energy and the low energy options with beam energies of 10 GeV and 100 MeV, respectively.
