  1. Neutrinos Theory ~ Carlos Pena Garay IAS, Princeton Benasque

  2. References Neutrino Unbound http://www.nu.to.infn.it/

  3. Massive Neutrinos : Dirac n(p,h) n(p,-h) CPT Boost, if m ≠ 0 Boost, if m ≠ 0 n(p,-h) n(p,h) CPT

  4. Standard Model + right handed

  5. Standard Model + right handed

  6. Parameters : Dirac Exercise

  7. Wave packets : Neutrino osc. Relativistic neutrinos : Same result

  8. Size of the wave packet Coherent neutrino emission in plasma : Interrupted by e.m interactions of the source particles (pressure broadening) Reactor : e.m. interactions of produced e- Accelerator : time scale of weak interactions

  9. Matter effects Only the difference of potential is relevant Net effect :

  10. Some Neutrino Sources

  11. Solar

  12. Atmospheric

  13. Reactor : …,Chooz/Palo Verde,…

  15. Accelerator : K2K

  16. LMC 8GeV Booster magnetic horn decay pipe 450 m dirt detector absorber 25 or 50 m and target LSND, Miniboone Proton beam producing

  17. The Neutrino Matrix :SM + n mass 3 s ranges: ALL oscillation neutrino data BUT LSND

  18. The Neutrino Matrix : SM + n mass 1 s ranges: ALL oscillation neutrino data BUT LSND

  19. SM + n mass Neutrinos: Cosmological dark matter to be discovered If lowest mass is negligible, and normal hierarchy If highest mass is 1 eV

  20. Plan • I. Neutrinos as Dirac Particles • Making Neutrinos • Neutrinos as Majorana Particles

  21. Neutrino Sources Reactor Accelerator

  22. Cosmic Neutrino Background 56 cm-3 at 1.9K (0.17 meV) Possible mechanical effect : torque of order GF if target and neutrino background are polarized (Stodolsky effect) and net neutrino-antineutrino asymmetry Still far from observability, awaiting for future technology
