Neutrino Oscillations in a nutshell What are Neutrino Oscillations?
Neutrino Oscillations is a
phenomenon
BEYOND THE STANDARD
MODEL
predicted by Bruno Pontecorvo in
1957
Basically it consists in
FLAVOUR MIXING
of the diﬀerent neutrino families
Only make sense if mν = 0!!
not predicted by SM

Flavour mixing... not like this!

... but more like this


|νe
|νµ
|ντ

 =


Ue1 Ue2 Ue3
Uµ1 Uµ2 Uµ3
Uτ1 Uτ2 Uτ3

 ·


|ν1
|ν2
|ν3


Neutrinos from a weak decay →well-defined flavour
Flavour eigenstates (e, µ, τ) = mass eigenstates (1,2,3) well-defined kinematics
Flavour basis and mass basis correlated by mixing matrix U (PMNS Matrix):
|να(x, t) =
i
Uαi |νi (x, t)
Mass eigenstates →their evolution is given by pi ,Ei (Schrödinger img):
|νi (x, t) = eipi x
e−iEi t
|νi = eiφi x
|νi t ∼ x
NOTE!
t ∼ x since neutrinos are ultrarelativistic
Ei = pi for oscillations to happen, that is, mν = 0

Question: thus, what are the neutrino oscillations?
Answer: an effect whereby neutrinos created with a well-defined lepton flavour (e, µ, τ)
can later be measured to have a different flavour:
|ψα(x, t) = iβ U†
β i Uαi eiφi x
|νβ
The oscillation is determined, thus, by the matrix Elements Uαj . This elements depend
on what is called Oscillation Parameters or Oscillation Angles: θ12,θ23 and θ13
First family
Ue1 = c12c13
Uµ1 = −s12c23 − c12s23s13eiδ
Uτ1 = s12s23 − c12c23s13eiδ
Second family
Ue2 = s12c13
Uµ2 = c12c23 − s12s23s13eiδ
Uτ2 = −c12s23 − s12c23s13eiδ
Third family
Ue3 = s13e−iδ
Uµ3 = s23c13
Uτ3 = c23c13
NOTE!
The parameter δ appears in the
PMNS matrix as the CP violation
parameter

Question: Which is the probability that a neutrino oscillate after
travelling an interval L?
Answer: This depends on the medium the neutrinos travel through. The electron
density Ne influence the cross section of charged current weak interactions of νe . Let’s
take the concrete example (νµ → νe ) → it allows to measure θ13 and δ:
Oscillations through vacuum
P(νµ → νe ) = sin2
2θ13 sin2
θ23 sin2 ∆m2
13L
4E13
+ subleading eff.
Dependence on:
|∆m2|: absolute value of squared mass difference
Oscillation parameters θ13, θ23
Subleading effects: very important for the analysis of CP violation (seen later)
The dependences give us CRUCIAL information about what can we expect from
oscillations through vacuum/matter.
NOTE!
The oscillations will always depend on the mass differences between mass families
related to the oscillation ∆m2
13 = m2
1 − m2
3 → we will refer to it as mass difference.

Summary: which implications do all this have?
Neutrino oscillation is a phenomenon beyond the SM → mν = 0
Flavour mixing happens due to different mass-flavour eigenstates
Oscillation probabilities depend highly on the media the neutrinos are travelling
through
∆m2
can only be measured in experiments where neutrinos travel through matter
CPV can only be measured looking at the subleading effects (appearance
experiments, seen later)

plain Neutrino Oscillations in a nutshell Accelerator experiments
CP Violation comes from subleading eﬀects in P(νµ → νe ):
Pδ(να → νβ) ∝ Jr sin δ
Remember PMNS Matrix U → the factor eδ
always comes along with sin θ13.
Thus, θ13 must be measured with sensibility!! (Reactor experiments)
Question: What is CP Violation?
Answer: There are not the same physics
for particles and antiparticles → Particle
and antiparticle symmetry is broken!!
U†
describes antineutrino oscillations,
eδ
→ e−δ
:
Pδ(¯να → ¯νβ) ∝ Jr (− sin δ)
Thus P(να → νβ) = P(¯να → ¯νβ)
NOTE!
Jr = 0 IF α = β, thus disappearance experiments cannot measure CPV!!
In other words, survival experiments can’t reconstruct neutrino interference generating
those subleading eﬀects terms.

Question: What is mass
hierarchy?
Answer: Mass hierarchy is the
unknown order of the several
neutrino mass families.
There are two possibles hierarchies,
depending on the sign of ∆m2
13:
normal hierarchy (m2
1 < m2
3)
inverted hierarchy (m2
3 < m2
1)
→ Oscillations in matter: depend
on the parameter A ∝ ∆m2
, thus
are sensitive to sign(∆m2
)!!
NOTE!
Mass diﬀerence ∆m2
12 has been completely measured by solar neutrino. Since the
oscillations inside the sun are considered to occur through matter, the sign have been
determined.

plain Neutrino Oscillations in a nutshell A key technique: oﬀ-axis neutrinos
Detecting neutrinos is not impossible, but
the truth is they are very elusive!
Damn you, Pauli!
→ That’s why several techniques have
been developed in order to attain higher
energy resolution.
“I told you!”
Wolfgang Ernst Pauli
The scope of the second part of my work is to show how the oﬀ-axis neutrinos method
works, in the same way it’s used in actual experiments like T2K and NOνA.

Question: What is off-axis neutrino technique?
Answer: We say a neutrino detector is placed off-axis when it subtends a determined
non-zero angle respect the travel line of the neutrino beam. Indeed, the neutrino beam
behaves as a wave package, and it spreads out around this line. For a given neutrino’s
source energy, there is an angle off-axis where the neutrino flux have a well-defined
energy.

You may not believe me, but T2K and NOνA do! Let’s analyse the
neutrino kinematics and discover the goodness of the off-axis
technique!
NOνA placed the far
detector at an off-axis angle
θ = 14mrad.
T2K placed the far detector
at an off-axis angle
θ = 44mrad.

plain Neutrino kinematics Pion rest frame - Center of Mass
Question: What are we going to study?
Answer: The process to analyse is the decay of a pion into muon and neutrino:
π−
→ µ−
+ ¯νµ
π+
→ µ+
+ νµ
We’ll attack this problem from two points of view:
massless neutrino approximation → mν = 0
massive neutrino ﬁrst order correction →∼ m2
ν in energy and momentum
The pion at the same tame come from the collision between a beam of accelerated
protons towards a ﬁxed target:
p + X → π−
+ X + Y
NOTE!
The masses are mπ = 139.57MeV and mµ = 105.66MeV

plain Neutrino kinematics Lab Frame - Boosted Pion
Question: How do we do the change of coordinates?
Answer: Change from CoM Frame (pion at rest) → to Lab Frame (pion at ﬂight)
through a Lorentz boost γ for a pion travelling at β in the z-axis:
Λ =




γ 0 0 γβ
0 1 0 0
0 0 1 0
γβ 0 0 γ







Elab = γ(Ecm + βPcm cos θcm)
Plab sin θlab = Pcm sin θcm
Plab cos θlab = γ(Pcm cos θcm + βEcm)
We have used spherical coordinates with cylindrical symmetry → Independent of
azimutal degree of freedom ϕ
NOTE!
It does not matter to take β nor −β, that is, in direction z or −z: the results are
indeed equivalent.

Question: How can we obtain the angular distribution of the neutrino?
Answer: From the CoM angular distribution and the Jacobian of the transformation
(Ecm, cos θcm → Elab, cos θlab:
1
Γ
d2
Γ
dϕlabdcos θlab
=
1
4π
J(cos θcm, ϕcm; cos θlab, ϕlab)
The jacobian of the transformation is easy to obtain as:

∂ cos θlab
∂ cos θcm
∂ϕlab
∂ϕcm
∂ cos θlab

We need to calculate de derivatives of the cosines!

The pion decays isotropically in rest, therefore the angular

Thus the angular distribution can be obtained from the derivatives of the cosines:

plain Neutrino kinematics Relation between Eν and Eπ
Question: Why is important to look at the relationship between Eν
and Eπ?
Answer: This relationship will lead us a hint about the energy distribution Eν of the
neutrinos that we will treat in further sections.
Remember Elab obtained from the Lorentz boost → put in terms of θlab

Maximum neutrino energy
The maximum energy is given by

β = cos θlab
γ = 1/ sin θlab
Thus, the maximum energy is Emax = Ecmγ

Neutrino ﬂux needs to be peaked near Emax .

plain Neutrino kinematics Pion energy distribution
Question: What does it happen if pion has not a deﬁnite energy but
a given energy spectrum?
Answer: What we get from the collision proton → ﬁxed target is a non-linear energy
spectrum for pions (arXiv:1005.3692). This spectrum have to be implemented in the
analysis of the neutrino distribution: (Eπ, cos θcm) → (Elab, cos θlab):

Summary
Massless neutrinos mν = 0 and first order correction ∼ m2
ν approximations are
equivalent
Neutrinos attain a maximum energy Emax , independent of the pion energy, for
β = cos θlab.
Neutrinos bunch in a small energy region Eν ≤ Emax
For every energetic region for the parent pion there is an off-axis angle which
peak the neutrino flux for β = cos θlab
The relative narrowness of the off-axis beam increase the energy resolution of
the neutrino beam.

plain Conclusions
New results from SuperK far detector of T2K - 19th July,
2013 (3 days ago!)
νe appearance conﬁrmation at the 7.5σ level of signiﬁcance.
“Observation of this new type of neutrino oscillation leads the way to new studies of
charge-parity (CP) violation which provides a distinction between physical processes
involving matter and antimatter.”
T2K announcement

plain Conclusions
We DO know neutrinos exist.
We DO know about their ﬂavour oscillations.
We DO know matter and antimatter annihilate.

plain Conclusions
Next generation accelerator experiments would discover
eventually the divergence between neutrino-antineutrino oscillations
→ CP symmetry breaking.
This asymmetry would generate the so-called Leptogenesis,
happening responsible of the residual existing after
matter-antimatter annihilation just after the Big Bang... but
calling it residual seems a bit pejorative, isn’t it?

plain Conclusions
Why not to call it...
Universe?
