ne nm ne nm Neutrinos & Neutrino Oscillation • Fundamental building blocks of matter: • Neutrino mass: the central issue of neutrino physics • Tiny mass but huge amount • Influence on Cosmology: evolution, large scale structure, … • Only evidence beyond the Standard Model • Neutrino oscillation: a great method to probe the mass Oscillation frequency Oscillation amplitude P(ne->nm) = sin2(2q)sin2(1.27Dm2L/E) Oscillation probability:
Neutrino Oscillation P(ne nm) = sin2(2q)sin2(1.27Dm2L/E) neutrino energy Mixing angle (Amplitude) “baseline” numerical factor for using convenient units (km, GeV) m12 – m22 not (m1 – m2)2 !

Daya Bay: for a New Type of Oscillation • Goal:search for a new oscillation q13 • Neutrino mixing matrix: n1 n2 n3 q12solar neutrino oscillation q13 ? Unknown mixing parameters: q13,d+ 2 Majorana phases q23atmospheric neutrino oscillation Need sizable q13 for the d measurement
How to measure which type of oscillation? solar reactor atmospheric
Two ways to measureq13 Reactor experiments: Pee 1 sin22q13sin2 (1.27Dm213L/E) cos4q13sin22q12sin2 (1.27Dm212L/E) Long baseline accelerator experiments: Pme ≈ sin2q23sin22q13sin2(1.27Dm223L/E) + cos2q23sin22q12sin2(1.27Dm212L/E) A(r)cos2q13sinq13sin(d) Small-amplitude oscillation due to 13 Large-amplitude oscillation due to 12 At reactors: • Clean signal, no cross talk with d and matter effects • Relatively cheap compared to accelerator based experiments • Provides the direction to the future of neutrino physics
How to make neutrinos? • Accelerator: • Muon neutrinos (from pion decay: π μ νμ) • expensive • Example: CNGS (Cern to Gran Sasso) • Reactor: • Fusion reactor • Sun • Electron neutrinos (p + p d + e+ + νe) • Fission reactor • Nuclear power plants (such as Daya Bay) • Electron anti-neutrinos (n p + e- + νe)
...o How to see neutrinos? ... without being blinded by the background?
How to see neutrions? (from a fission reactor): original method of discoverers (Clyde L. Cowan and Frederick Reines, 1956):
