Jun Cao Institute of High Energy Physics Recent Neutrino Oscillation Results and Future
Neutrinos There are 3 famailes of massless Neutrinos in the SM. There are 300 neutrinos/cm3 in the universe.
Neutrino Oscillation Solar neutrino Homestake Exp. Atmospheric neutrino Super-K exp. Neutrino oscillation means neutrinos are massive.
SNO in Canada, solar, in 2001 KamLAND in Japan, reactor, first in 2002 K2K in Japan, 2004 Accelerator MINOS in US, first in 2006 Accelerator

Neutrino Puzzles 10 Years ago, neutrino oscillation was well established. Is 13non-zero? Which neutrino is heavier? (mass hierarchy) Is there CP violation? How many kinds of neutrinos? (Unitarity) Are there sterile neutrinos? What's the mass of neutrinos? Is neutrino its own anti-particle? Abnormal magnetic moment? Can we detect relic neutrino from Big Bang? Also of great interests in astrophysics, cosmology, geology, etc.
How large is 13? PRD 62, 072002 sin2213<0.16 sin2213~0.04 Allowed region Fogli et al., hep-ph/0506307 Gonzalez-Garcia et al., JHEP1004:056, 2010 sin2213~0.04 sin2213~0.08, non-zero 2 Fogli et al., J.Phys.Conf.Ser.203:012103 (2010)

Side-by-side Comparison Data set: 2011.9 to 2012.5 This check shows that syst. are under control, and will eventually "measure" the syst. error • 0.2%detector-related uncertainty (relative measurement) • Expected ratio of neutrino events: R(AD1/AD2) = 0.982 • The ratio is not 1 because of target mass, baseline, etc. • Measured ratio: 0.987 0.004(stat) 0.003(syst)
Functional Identical Detectors • "Same batch" of liquid scintillator 5x40 t Gd-LS, circulated 20 t filling tank 200 t LS, circulated 4-m AV in pairs Assembly in pairs • Why systematics is so small?c.f. An et al. NIM. A 685 (2012) 78 • Idea of "identical detectors" throughout the procedures of design / fabrication / assembly / filling. • For example: Inner Acrylic Vessel, designed D=31205 mm • Variation of D by geometry survey=1.7mm, Var. of volume: 0.17% • Target mass var. by load cell measurement during filling: 0.19%
Daily Rate: Evidence of Deficit Predictions are absolute, multiplied by a global normalization factor from the fitting.(to account for the absolute flux and absolute detection eff. uncertainty)
