Neutrino experiments are scientific studies investigating the properties of neutrinos, which are subatomic particles that are very difficult to detect due to their weak interactions with matter. Neutrino experiments are essential for understanding the fundamental properties of matter and the universe's behaviour at the subatomic level.
Many experiments have taken place that study the same oscillations as in atmospheric neutrino oscillation using neutrinos with a few GeV of energy and several-hundred-km baselines. The MINOS , K2K , and Super-K experiments have all independently observed muon neutrino disappearance over such long baselines.
The global minimum, with a χ 2 probability of 96%, corresponds to sin 2 (2θ) = 0.23, δm 2 = 8.1 × 10 −4 eV 2, overall neutrino normalization = 1.012, and energy scale = 1.006. The no-oscillation hypothesis is also has a high χ 2 probability of 93%, corresponding to an overall neutrino normalization = 1.008 and energy scale = 1.011.
MiniBooNE is a Cherenkov detector experiment at Fermilab designed to observe neutrino oscillations (BooNE is an acronym for the Booster Neutrino Experiment). A neutrino beam consisting primarily of muon neutrinos is directed at a detector filled with 800 tons of mineral oil (ultrarefined methylene compounds) and lined with 1,280 photomultiplier ...
The Homestake experiment was followed by other experiments with the same purpose, such as Kamiokande in Japan, SAGE in the former Soviet Union, GALLEX in Italy, Super Kamiokande, also in Japan, and SNO (Sudbury Neutrino Observatory) in Ontario, Canada. SNO was the first detector able to detect neutrino oscillation, solving the solar neutrino ...
T2K ("Tokai to Kamioka") is a particle physics experiment studying the oscillations of the accelerator neutrinos.The experiment is conducted in Japan by the international cooperation of about 500 physicists and engineers with over 60 research institutions from several countries from Europe, Asia and North America [1] and it is a recognized CERN experiment (RE13).
Its goal was to measure or set a limit on the θ 13 mixing angle, a neutrino oscillation parameter responsible for changing electron neutrinos into other neutrinos. The experiment used the Chooz Nuclear Power Plant reactors as a neutrino source and measured the flux of neutrinos from them. To accomplish this, Double Chooz had a set of two ...
The KEK To Kamioka experiment [6] used accelerator neutrinos to verify the oscillations observed in the atmospheric neutrino signal with a well-controlled and understood beam. A neutrino beam was directed from the KEK accelerator to Super KamiokaNDE. The experiment found oscillation parameters which were consistent with those measured by Super-K.
