various effects - radiative corrections (?

  • Charm error from valence d quark

23
Summary the neutrinos in the Standard Model
(forgetting the NuTeV anomaly)
  • spin ½ , colorless, electrically neutral
  • 3 families (or flavors or generations)
    associated to e, ? and ?
  • Ll conserved leptonic number for each family l
  • (strictly speaking, B-L must be
    conserved for the SM to be renormalizable)
  • ?eL and eL form a SU(2) doublet (idem for
    ? and ?)
  • no ?eR
  • - no Dirac mass term
    (see next chapter)
  • - no Majorana mass term
  • Neutrinos are massless ? no mixing, no
    magnetic moment

24
III Massive Neutrinos
Why ? - Best explanation of the experimental
results ( see later) - All fermions, but
neutrinos, have both L and R fields - Most Grand
Unification models predict m? ? 0 How to
accommodate the (so successful ) S.M. ?
Remember - m? 0 imposed by local U(1) gauge
invariance ? e.m. charge conservation - m? 0
not protected by gauge symmetry but imposed by
construction in the Minimal S.M.
- no ?R
- Le,?,?
conserved ( global symmetry) ? look at possible
extensions of the S.M. A more difficult question
why are the neutrino masses so small ?
25
Origin of mass in the SM
Quark fields
SU(2) doublet
SU(2) singlet
Terms in the Lagrangian describing the
interaction with the Higgs doublet
Invariant under SU(2)
26
Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking
See M. Tytgat
To get the physical fields u,d,c,s Diagonalize
m and m using 4 unitary matrices
27
Neutral current terms
For instance
GIM mechanism no flavor changing NC
Charged current terms
Quark mixing matrix VCKM
28
Neutrino fields
Introducing chiral fields One gets,as for quarks,
the so-called Dirac mass terms
Note LD is invariant for the U(1)
transformation which corresponds to
the conservation of the total lepton number L
  • BUT other Lorentz scalars possible using the
    C-conjugate partners
  • Majorana mass terms
  • with L fields
  • with R fields

29
Notes
Most general terms
(M can be shown to be symmetric)
30
To find the physical neutrino states find a
unitary matrix U such that UMUT diag(m1, m2,)
If Majorana mass terms are present, the physical
mass states are Majorana neutrinos are their
own antiparticle
31
Dirac or Majorana neutrinos ?
(1 family to simplify)
Dirac 4 states ?L (?L )C
?R (?R )C
  • - Le -1, produces e in CC
  • at high E mainly ve hel.
  • - Le 1, produces e- in CC int.
  • at high E mainly ve helicity
  • (with m/E admixture of ve hel.)

Sterile no CC,NC int. in SM (but interact with
Higgs)
Majorana only 2 states spin-up or spin-down
We are used to call ? (anti-? ) the state
produced with an e (e- ) But what is produced
with an e is a L-chiral object superposition
of (mainly) spin-down state (tiny) spin-up
state of the SAME Majorana ? If we could flip the
spin of this object, it would produce the wrong-
sign lepton ! Possible experimental test see
later 0???
32
The seesaw model
(simplified, only 1 family)
  • Seesaw m ? when M? Nice but
  • what is the new physics scale?
  • not so obvious with 3 families
  • Playground for model builders

Due to difference of masses n1 and n2 have
different phase velocities
oscillations
effects of the phase difference increase which
changes the interference pattern
37
Propagation in vacuum (2 families, for instance
?e and ?? )
() A more serious quantum mechanical treatment
with wave packets give the same result for all
practical situations

From Y. Smirnov
The MSW adiabatic conversion
Mikheyev,Smirnov(1986) Wolfenstein(1978)

H H(t) depends on time
Non-uniform matter density changes on the way
of neutrinos
n1m n2m are no more the eigenstates of
propagation -gt n1m lt-gt n2m transitions
qm qm(n e(t)) mixing changes in the
course of propagation
ne n e(t)
However
if the density changes slowly enough
(adiabaticity condition) n1m lt-gt n2m
transitions can be neglected
Well verified in the Sun or the Earth
Flavors of eigenstates change according to the
density change
determined by qm
Admixtures of the eigenstates, n1m n2m, do
not change
fixed by mixing in the production point
Phase difference increases
according to the level split
which
changes with density

e) Improve the limit on sin2 2?13 (now 0.1)
Crucial for the design of future big experiments
!
  • 2 ways to reach 0.01
  • Chooz-like reactor expt with 2 detectors
  • (to lower systematics on ? flux)

Some remaining big questions
  • Mass hierarchy normal or inverted ?
  • CP violation ?CP ? 0 ?
  • Baryogenesis from Leptogenesis ?
  • Absolute mass scale ?
  • Dirac or Majorana ?
  • Origin of masses and mixings ?

111
Mass hierarchy normal or inverted ?
Earth matter effects
Long Baseline
through earth matter Effect strongly
depends on sin2 2?13
112
CP violation ?CP ? 0 ?
Long Baseline
through earth matter Strongly depends on sin2
2?13 and correlated with matter effects
113
  • To disentangle the two questions, one needs
  • very pure beams
  • very intense beams
  • several experiments at different and large L/E
  • very big detectors
  • A lot of money..

CUORE CUORICINO
  • Prototype (Cuoricino) Commissioned
  • Reach in ltmngt to 0.32 ev
  • Cryogenic Calorimetry in TeO2 crystals
  • Scalable Design CUORE 1000 crystals
  • No Enrichment!

First results

Many other experiments in preparation
Majorana/Genius Robust and well known
technique Requires 500kg (10ton?)of Enriched
Ge Reach in ltmvgt 0.03 - 0.05 ev
  • Germanium
  • Cobra
  • MOON
  • EXO
  • XMASS
  • Candles
  • GSO

Cd(Zn)Te semiconductor Reach in ltmngt 0.71 ev
34 ton Mo sheets
1(10) ton enriched Xe in TPC
10 ton liquid Xe
Background is a real challenge!

Conclusions
  • Enormous progress in recent years
  • Solar neutrino problem solved!
  • Still some loose ends
  • Many forthcoming experiments
  • Three-generation oscillation is most probable
  • but LSND not yet ruled out
  • Cosmological constraints beginning to be
    interesting
  • Next q13 key to mass hierarchy, CP violation
  • Long-baseline or reactor
  • New super beams

THEORY on origin of masses and mixings ?
