Do Neutrinos Violate CP? Hisakazu Minakata Tokyo Metropolitan University
Do neutrinos violate CP? Tough question! • I believe the answer YES, • Because MNS matrix is S+(l)S(); it is hard to believe that they all cancel out => next sheet • Possibility of cancellation? • accidentally small 13 vs. accidentally small • small 13 may arise if there is a symmetry, but no symmetry is known for tuned small Nishikawa-san may be right … NOVE06@Venice
Do neutrinos violate CP? (continued) • Therefore, absence of KM type CPV highly unlikely • What is nontrivial, however, is to understand the meaning of when it is measured • requires interdisciplinary knowledge, e.g., large mixing in susy sectors, LFV, leptogenesis, KM phase, etc NOVE06@Venice
How about Majorana CPV? • There is a strong argument due to Yanagida-san, which answers the question in the positive • We know that our universe is asymmetric to baryon number • We know that above 1 TeV only meaningful quantum number is B-L, not B or L separately, because of anomaly (“sphaleron”) • Therefore, we must have B+L generation to have nonzero baryon number NOVE06@Venice
How about Majorana CPV? (continued) • Let us assume SM of particle physics => no operator which violates B+L • The lowest dimension operator which violate B-L is which must exists • This is nothing but the neutrino mass operator observed by SK, SNO, KamLAND, and K2K, and others (confirmed to exists!) • Therefore, Majorana mass must exist (otherwise, we do not have baryon # excess) NOVE06@Venice
Rest of my talk • Comments on how to measure CPV • Issue of two (can be naturally) small quantities, 13,deviation from max 23 : • 13 revisited • 23 revisited NOVE06@Venice
How can CPV be probed? NOVE06@Venice
How can CPV be probed? • Low-energy superbeamvs. high-energy factory • Low-energy because CPV is large • High-energy because muon detection is clean • Now, both approaches start to converge! JJ.Gomez-Cadenas (private), Brondel (Nufact-ISS2@KEK) NOVE06@Venice
How CP phase affects oscillation probability? At low energy changes probability in a dynamic way and in a different way from matter Seen clearly by bi-probability plot Art work by Adam Para => Two solutions of S232 x NOVE06@Venice
For experts Spectral information powerful • Intrinsic degeneracy nearly resolved by T2K II setting even at small 13 • Yet, sign-m2 (mass hierarchy) degeneracy is robust Ishitsuka et al. NOVE06@Venice
2 detector method for CPV HM-H.Nunokawa, 97 • Since oscillation is a phase-modulated phenomenon, the distance-dependent information is important • Particularly powerful for 2nd baseline at ~ 2nd oscillation maximum => Kajita-san’s talk for more about it NOVE06@Venice

How big is 13?; the crucial question NOVE06@Venice
Vanishing 13; ‘t Hooft approved If symmetry is the case … near maximal 23 small 23 Grimus, Ma, Valle … (infinite references) NOVE06@Venice
There are 2 ways to answer the question LBL vs. reactor NOVE06@Venice
New possibility! => Messbauer enhanced e-bar B decay+resonant absorption Raghavan, hep-ph/0511191, hep-ph/0601079 • e-bar+3He+bound-e -> 3H; resonant nature • Monochromatic (18.6keV) e-bar beam from inverse reaction; 3H bound state decay • Recoilless setting by embedding 3H and 3He into solid => Messbauer effect 10 m baseline 13 experiment ! NOVE06@Venice
Rate estimate =1132 s Doppler shift • res = 4.2 x 10-41 [4 (a Z)3] (E e-bar /MeV)/ft 1.2 x 10-5 106/(FDHM) =107 = 10-42 cm2 (capture cross section) • R = f NTres = 0.03/day (100 MCi, 1kg 3He) • T2 ~ 2 ms => = 3 x 10-13 relativeenhancement by a factor of ~ 1012 (x0.07) • res = 10-31 cm2 (11 order enhancement) • R = 3 x 106 /day (1 MCi, 100g 3He, L=10m) Messbauer enhancement million events a day! E/E ~ 10-17 => neutrino’s gravitational red shift NOVE06@Venice
Which kind of 13 experiment? • Spectrum analysis requires multiple detector or movable detector possible because L=10 m • Reduction of systematic error => 0.1-0.3% if direct counting of 3H atom possible • Monochromatic beam + gigantic statistices => high sensitivity not only to 13 but also tom2 NOVE06@Venice

Are there ways to solve 23 degeneracy? NOVE06@Venice
Reactor + accelerator method • A-disappearance => s223=0.4 or 0.6 • A-appearance => s223sin2213 = 0.06 • R => sin2213 = 0.1 • Solves 23 degeneracy MSYIS, hep-ph/0211111 NOVE06@Venice

Conclusion • Leptonic CPV, both KM and Majorana types, very likely to exist • There are still rooms in making progress with ‘‘known conventional beam’’ for exploring CPV • New opportunities exist in Messbauer enhanced recoilless resonant absorption • 23 degeneracy; hardest problem for accelerator (reactor or atmospheric?)
