Abstract:

Atmospheric neutrinos are produced as decay products in hadronic showers resulting from collisions of cosmic rays with nuclei in the atmosphere. Electron-neutrinos and muon-neutrinos are produced mainly by the decay chain of charged pions to muons to electrons. Atmospheric neutrino experiments observed zenith angle and energy-dependent deficit of muon-neutrino events. It was found that neutrino oscillations between muon-neutrinos and tau-neutrinos explain these data well. This paper discusses atmospheric neutrino experiments and the neutrino oscillation studies with these neutrinos.

Abstract:

Neutrinos are neutral leptons and there exist three types of neutrinos (electron neutrinos νe, muon neutrinos νµ and tau neutrinos ντ). These classifications are referred to as neutrinos’s “flavors”. Oscillations between the different flavors are known as neutrino oscillations, which occurs when neutrinos have mass and non-zero mixing. Neutrino mixing is governed by the PMNS mixing matrix. The PMNS mixing matrix is constructed as the product of three independent rotations. With that, we can describe the numerical parameters of the matrix in a graphical form called the unitary triangle, giving rise to CP violation. We can calculate the four parameters of the mixing matrix to draw the unitary triangle. The area of the triangle is a measure of the amount of CP violation.

Abstract:

There is considerable interest in the propagation dynamics of intense electron and photon neutrino beams in a background dispersive medium such as dense plasmas, particularly in the search for a mechanism to explain the dynamics of type II supernovae. Neutrino interactions with matter are usually considered as single particle interactions. All the single particle mechanisms describing the dynamical properties of neutrino's in matter are analogous with the processes involving single electron interactions with a medium such as Compton scattering, and Cerenkov radiation etc. However, it is well known that beams of electrons moving through a plasma give rise to a new class of processes known as collective interactions such as two stream instabilities which result in either the absorption or generation of plasma waves. Intense photon beams also drive collective interactions such as modulational type instabilities. In both cases relativistic electron beams of electrons and photon beams can drive plasma wakefields in plasmas. Employing the relativistic kinetic equations for neutrinos interacting with dense plasmas via the weak force we explore collective plasma streaming instabilities driven by Neutrino electron and photon beams and demonstrate that all three types of particles can drive wakefields.

Abstract:

When neutrinos travel through a normal matter medium, the electron neutrinos couple differently to gravity compared to the other neutrinos, due to the presence of electrons in the medium and the absence of the other charged leptons. The matter-induced gravitational couplings of the neutrinos under such conditions are calculated and their contribution to the neutrino index of refraction in the presence of a gravitational potential is determined.

Abstract:

The Gran Sasso National Laboratory of the INFN has given important contributions to the discovery of the phenomenon of neutrino oscillations with experiments both on electron neutrinos from the Sun and muon neutrinos indirectly produced by cosmic rays interactions in the atmosphere. Other experiments in the laboratory give the best limits on electron neutrino effective Majorana mass with two different isotopes. We appear to have entered a new physics domain in which the study of neutrinos may lead us to discover new phenomena, corresponding to energy scales by much higher than those of the present accelerators. Underground laboratories are showing their relevance complementary to the colliders for the advance of basic physics. The physics program at the Gran Sasso Laboratory that we are defining will be focussed on neutrino physics with a complementary set of experiments on the muon neutrino beam from CERN (CNGS project), on solar neutrinos, on atmospheric neutrinos and on neutrinos from Supernova explosion. The relevant thermonuclear cross-sections will be measured. The Majorana vs. Dirac nature of electron neutrinos will be explored with the search for neutrino-less double beta decays in different isotopes.

Abstract:

Recent studies of β-decay spectra seem to confirm Simpson’s earlier findings that the electron neutrinos contain a small (1%) admixture of a 17 keV Dirac neutrino. An unconventional model with SU(2)L×SU(2)R×U(1)B−1 gauge interactions is presented in which all neutrinos are Dirac particles. Electron and muon neutrinos acquire seesaw Dirac masses of order 10−3eV for the MSW solution for the solar neutrino problem. The τ neutrino is identified as Simpson’s 17 keV neutrino. Constraints coming from cosmology and particle physics are shown to be satisfied.

Abstract:

Neutrinos are produced copiously in the early universe. Neutrinos and antineutrinos ceased to be in equilibrium with radiation when the weak interaction rate becomes slower than the rate expansion of the universe. The ratio of the temperature of the photon to the temperature of the neutrino at this stage is Tγ/Tν = (11/4)1/3. We investigate the neutrino energy loss due to the oscillation of the electron neutrino into a different flavor in the charged-current interaction of νe-e- based on the work of Sulaksono and Simanjuntak. The energy loss from the neutrinos ΔEν during the decoupling of the neutrinos with the rest of the matter would be a gain in the energy of the electrons and can be obtained from the integration of stopping power equation ΔEν = (dEν/dT-1)dT-1 where Eν and T are the energy of the neutrinos and the temperature respectively. When the universe expands and matter-radiation decouples, an extra energy will be transferred to the photons via the annihilation of the electron-positron pairs, e++e-→γ+γ. This consequently will increase the temperature of the photons. The net effect to the lowest order is an increase in the ratio of the photon temperature to the neutrino temperature. The magnitude of energy loss of the neutrino is ∼10-4-10-5 MeV for the probability of conversion of νe → νi (i = μ,τ) between 0 to 1.0.

Abstract:

Neutrino-induced reactions are a basic ingredient in astrophysical processes like star evolution. The existence of neutrino oscillations affects the rate of nuclear electroweak decays which participates in the chain of events that determines the fate of the star. Among the processes of interest, the production of heavy elements in core-collapse supernovae is strongly dependent upon neutrino properties, like the mixing between different species of neutrinos. In this work, we study the effects of neutrino oscillations upon the electron fraction as a function of the neutrino mixing parameters, for two schemes: the [Formula: see text]-scheme (one active neutrino and one sterile neutrino) and the [Formula: see text]-scheme (two active neutrinos and one sterile neutrino). We have performed this analysis considering a core-collapse supernovae and determined the physical conditions needed to activate the nuclear reaction chains involved in the r-process. We found that the interactions of the neutrinos with matter and among themselves and the initial amount of sterile neutrinos in the neutrino-sphere might change the electron fraction, therefore affecting the onset of the r-process. We have set constrains on the active-sterile neutrino mixing parameters. They are the square-mass-difference [Formula: see text], the mixing angle [Formula: see text], and the hindrance factor [Formula: see text] for the occupation of sterile neutrinos. The calculations have been performed for different values of [Formula: see text], which is the fraction of [Formula: see text]-particles. For [Formula: see text] the r-process is taking place if [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. For larger values of [Formula: see text] the region of parameters is strongly reduced. The present results are compared to results available in the literature.

Abstract:

According to the experimental data, it is still controversial whether the neutrinos, especially the electron–neutrino and muon–neutrino, can be considered as the fermionic spinorial tachyons, and there is still no reliable report on the existence of the right-handed neutrinos. In this letter, we show that only the neutrinos with both handedness can be the tachyons, while the single handedness neutrinos are impossible to be the tachyons. Several implications of this result are discussed.

Abstract:

In this paper, we compute the spin excess for the neutrinos radiated in the process of electron capture beta decay of partially polarized nuclei. The results of computation are presented for the [Formula: see text] nuclei polarized by the strong hyperfine field in a ferromagnetic substance. This system was suggested as a possible source of monoenergetic neutrino radiation with a preferable direction of neutrino propagation. We directly compute the spin excess of radiated neutrinos and show that it is slightly greater than that estimated previously under simplifying assumptions.

Abstract:

T2K es un experimento de oscilaciones de neutrinos de largo recorrido en el que por primera vez se ha observado la aparición de neutrinos electrónicos en un haz de neutrinos muónicos. Así pues, el único ángulo de mezcla que quedaba por conocer, q13, es medido con gran precisión. el background principal de esta medida es la contaminación de neutrinos electrónicos producida en el haz junto con la componente de neutrinos muónicos. Ésta es una componente irreducible que ha de ser medida y controlada. La componente intrínseca de neutrinos electrónicos es medida antes de las oscilaciones en el detector cercano de T2K confirmando la predicción de la simulación con un precisión del 10%. Se establece que el background de neutrinos electrónicos está bien reproducido y que la principal medida del experimento T2K es exacta. Por otro lado, estudiar la componente de neutrinos electrónicos es interesante para investigar el comportamiento anómalo de algunos experimentos. Estudios en reactores nucleares y resultados en la calibración de experimentos de neutrinos solares con Galio han observado un déficit de neutrinos electrónicos a cortas distancias de la fuente. Este déficit no es compatible con oscilaciones de neutrinos estándar, pero puede ser conciliado en el marco de las oscilaciones, mediante la introducción de un cuarto neutrino con una masa del orden de 1eV². Este nuevo neutrino no sentiría ninguna fuerza del Modelo Estándar y por ello es comúnmente llamado neutrino estéril. Asumiendo que se mezcla con los neutrinos de tipo electrónico, explicaría la desaparición a cortas distancias de los mismos. El detector cercano de T2K se encuentra a una distancia de la fuente óptima para el estudio de oscilaciones de neutrinos estériles ligeros. El modelo más simple de neutrinos estériles con un sólo neutrino adicional es investigado, definiendo intervalos de confianza para los parámetros de oscilación y comparándolos con la literatura.
The T2K experiment is a long baseline neutrino experiment that has observed for first time the appearance of electron-neutrinos in a muon-neutrino beam. Thanks to this analysis, the last unknown neutrino mixing angle q13 is measured with a good precision. The main background to this measurement is the contamination of electron-neutrinos produced in the neutrino beam together with the dominant muon-neutrino component. This is an irreducible component that needs to be measured and controlled. The prediction of this component at SuperKamiokande is based on the constrain of the neutrino flux and cross sections by a muon-neutrino selection at the T2K near detector ND280. To confirm this prediction, we measure the electron-neutrino event rates at ND280 before the oscillations occur, establishing that the electron-neutrino component is correctly reproduced by the simulation at the 10% level. In addition, studying the electron-neutrino component is interesting to investigate the abnormal behaviour of some neutrino experiments. The reactor neutrino experiments as well as the results from calibration with radioactive sources in solar neutrino experiment with gallium have observed a deficit of electron-neutrino at very short distances from the neutrino source. This depletion is not compatible with standard neutrino oscillation, but it can be explained by invoking a fourth neutrino with a mass of the order of 1eV². This neutrino does not feel any force of the Standard Model and hence is called sterile neutrino. Assuming that it mixes with the electron-neutrinos, it would be responsible of the short base-line electron-neutrino disappearance due to neutrino oscillation. The T2K near detector is located at a position short enough to study the light sterile neutrino oscillations. The neutrino model with an additional sterile neutrino apart from the three active species is tested and some constraints to the oscillation parameters are set and compared with the literature.

Abstract:

One of the primary goals in neutrino physics at the present moment is to make a measurement of the neutrino oscillation parameter B13 . This parameter, in addition to being unknown, could potentially allow for the introduction of CP violation into the lepton sector. The MINOS long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment has the ability to make a measurement of this parameter, by looking for the oscillation of muon neutrinos to electron neutrinos between a Near and Far Detector over a distance of 735 km. This thesis discusses the development of an analysis framework to search for this oscillation mode. Two major improvements to pre-existing analysis techniques have been implemented by the author. First, a novel particle ID technique based on strip topology, known as the Library Event Matching (LEM) method, is optimized for use in MINOS. Second, a multiple bin likelihood method is developed to fit the data. These two improvements, when combined, increase MINOS' sensitivity to sin2(W13 ) by 27% over previous analyses. This thesis sees a small excess over background in the Far Detector. A Frequentist interpretation of the data rules out B13 = 0 at 91 %. A Bayesian interpretation of the data is also presented, placing the most stringent upper boundary on the oscillation parameter to date, at sin2 (2B13 ) < 0.09(0.015) for the Normal (Inverted) Hierarchy and 6cp = 0.

Abstract:

The high-energy universe is known to be violent. Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECRs) have been observed with kinetic energies exceeding 10²⁰ eV. Their origin, despite decades of observations, remains elusive. A unique probe of the sources and production mechanisms of these high energy cosmic rays can be neutrinos, since they are inevitably produced when high-energy protons interact. The IceCube Neutrino Observatory, located at the geographical South Pole in Antarctica, continuously monitors a total volume of 1 km³ of clear Antarctic ice for neutrino interactions. For this purpose, a total of 5160 optical sensors (photomultiplier tubes) have been melted deep into the glacier at depths between 1450m and 2450m. In 2013 IceCube reported one of its biggest discoveries, the observation of highly energetic neutrinos that are consistent with a possible extra-galactic origin.

In this dissertation we use IceCube data (recorded from 2012 to 2015) to study the spectral properties of this astrophysical neutrino flux with focus on electron and tau neutrino flavors. We developed a new neutrino identification and muon background rejection method using state-of-the-art machine-learning techniques, more specifically multi-class gradient boosted decision trees. In addition to enlarging the number of detected neutrino events (>10x increase over previous works), we lowered the energy threshold to below 1 TeV and thereby greatly improved upon the control and treatment of systematic uncertainties. The sample contains ~400 astrophysical electron and tau neutrinos, which increases the significance of the original discovery to beyond 8 standard deviations. We find the astrophysical neutrino flux to be well described by a single power-law consistent with expectations from Fermi-type acceleration of high-energy particles at astrophysical sources and obtain leading constraints on its properties. We further studied the possibility of additional spectral complexity, which significantly increases measurement uncertainties. No evidence for such scenarios was found. Finally we searched for a contribution from atmospheric neutrinos related to heavy meson (charm) decay in Earth's atmosphere and derive a flux upper limit of 4.8 times the benchmark pQCD flux prediction at 90% confidence level, dominated by systematic uncertainties, especially related to photon transport in the glacial ice.

Abstract:

Double Chooz est une expérience d'oscillation de neutrinos de réacteur qui a pour but de mesurer l'angle de mélange θ₁₃ grâce à deux détecteurs identiques situés à différentes distances des deux réacteurs de la centrale nucléaire de Chooz, dans les Ardennes françaises. Tandis que le détecteur proche commencera à prendre des données à l'automne 2014 afin de normaliser le flux des neutrinos émis par les réacteurs nucléaires, le détecteur lointain fonctionne depuis avril 2011 et permet d'observer la disparition des neutrinos à travers le phénomène d'oscillation de neutrinos. Cette thèse est également consacrée à l'expérience Borexino qui a été conçue afin d'observer les neutrinos solaires. Du fait d'un très faible bruit de fond ainsi que de son emplacement dans un pays sans réacteur nucléaire, l'Italie, Borexino est également sensible aux geo-neutrinos. Cette thèse présente à la fois les expériences Double Chooz et Borexino, de la description des détecteurs jusqu'aux principaux résultats, avec une attention particulière portée au bruit de fond et à sa rejection. Des études sur la directionalité des neutrinos avec ces deux expériences sont aussi détaillées. Pour Double Chooz, puisque les neutrinos proviennent des réacteurs nucléaires, la précision de la méthode d'analyse peut être évaluée. Cette thèse présente également pour la première fois la possibilité de retrouver la direction initiale des neutrinos quand les neutrons créés dans les réactions inverses de désintégration beta sont capturés sur l'hydrogène. Pour Borexino, l'information sur la directionalité des neutrinos pourrait faciliter la discrimination entre geo-neutrinos et neutrinos de réacteurs nucléaires
Double Chooz is a reactor neutrino oscillation experiment which aims at measuring the θ₁₃ mixing angle thanks to two identical detectors located at different distances from the two reactors of the Chooz nuclear power plant, in the French Ardennes. While the near detector will start taking data in fall 2014 to normalize the flux of the neutrinos emitted by the nuclear reactors, the far detector is running since April 2011 and allows to observe the neutrinos disappearance through the neutrino oscillation phenomenon. This thesis is also dedicated to the Borexino experiment which was designed to observe solar neutrinos. Due to its low background level as well as its position in a nuclear free country, Italy, Borexino is also sensitive to geo-neutrinos. This thesis presents both the Double Chooz and Borexino experiments, from the description of the detectors to the main results, with a special attention to the background and its rejection. Studies on the neutrino directionality with these two experiments are also detailed. In the case of Double Chooz, since the neutrinos are coming from the two nuclear reactors, the precision of the analysis method can be assessed. This thesis presents also for the first time the possibility to retrieve the initial direction of the neutrinos when the neutrons created in the inverse beta decay reactions are captured on hydrogen. In the case of Borexino, neutrino directionality information could facilitate the discrimination between geo-neutrinos and neutrinos from nuclear reactors

Abstract:

Cette thèse est consacrée à la mesure de l'apparition du neutrino électronique avec l'expérience T2K. T2K est une expérience pour la mesure des oscillations de neutrinos installée au Japon. Le faisceau de neutrinos est produit par un accélérateur à JPARC et les neutrinos sont observés avant l'oscillation dans un détecteur proche, ND280, et après l'oscillation dans un détecteur lointain, SuperKamiokande. L'objectif de cette thèse est la mesure, avec le détecteur proche, de la composante intrinsèque de neutrinos électroniques dans le faisceau. Les TPC constituent le détecteur principal utilisé pour cette mesure. La première partie de la thèse décrit la méthode utilisée pour l'identification des particules (PID) : la méthode est basée sur la mesure de la moyenne tronquée de la charge déposée par les particules traversant le milieu gazeux. Les capacités de PID des TPC ont été testées avec des données en faisceau prises à TRIUMF avec un faisceau composé d'électrons, muons et pions ayant une impulsion jusqu'à 400 MeV. L'analyse de ces données confirme que la résolution sur l'énergie déposée dans la TPC est de l'ordre de 7%. Avec les premières données de l'expérience T2K une première mesure de la composante de neutrinos électroniques a été faite. Pour effectuer l'analyse, interactions de neutrinos dans ND280 ont été sélectionnées : cet échantillon est principalement composé par des interactions de neutrinos muoniques car les neutrinos électroniques sont de l'ordre de 1 % du nombre total de neutrinos dans le faisceau. La sélection avec le PID des neutrinos électroniques et muoniques, a permis une première mesure de la composante des neutrinos électroniques dans le faisceau de T2K
This thesis is devoted to the measurement of the electron neutrino appearance with the T2K experiment. T2K is a long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment that is taking data in Japan. The neutrino beam is produced by an accelerator in JPARC and neutrinos are observed in a Near Detector, ND280, before the oscillation and in the far detector, SuperKamiokande, after the oscillation. The aim of this thesis is the measurement of the intrinsic electron neutrino component of the beam with the Near Detector. The main detector used in this measurement is the ND280 TPC. The first part of the thesis describes the method developed for the particle identification in the TPCs: the PID method is based on the measurement of the truncated mean of the charge deposited by the particles crossing the gas. The PID capabilities of the TPCs have been tested analyzing the beam test data: these data have been taken at TRIUMF where we had a beam composed by electrons, muons and pions with momenta up to 400 MeV/c: the analysis of these data confirmed that the resolution on the deposited energy in the TPCs was of the order of 7%. When the first data of the T2K experiment were available, a first measurement of the electron neutrino component in the near detector has been done. To perform the analysis, a sample of neutrino interactions in ND280 was selected: this sample was mainly composed by muon neutrino interactions as the electron neutrino is expected to be 1 % of the total number of neutrinos in the beam. The selection of both, electron and muon neutrinos, allowed a first measurement of the electron neutrino component in the T2K beam

Abstract:

The Nazi Civil Service Law of April 7, 1933, prompted the establishment of refugee organizations to cope with the greatest intellectual migration in history, a difficult task in the Great Depression. It was in full swing in October when the seventh Solvay Conference was convened to address fundamental questions in nuclear physics. Foremost was the exact value of the mass of the neutron. Chadwick, Curie and Joliot, and Lawrence advanced very different values, and Lawrence soon had to admit that his very low value was mistaken. In January 1934, Fermi published his far-reaching theory of beta decay, which assumed that an electron and a neutrino are created when a neutron in the nucleus is transformed into a proton, which obviated the need to assume that electrons are present in nuclei. In August 1934, Chadwick and Goldhaber proved experimentally that the neutron is an unstable elementary particle.
