用KamLAND精密测量中微子振荡参数

Precision Measurement of Neutrino Oscillation Parameters with KamLAND

The KamLAND Collaboration

摘要:

KamLAND实验已经确定了中微子振荡参数$Δm^{2}_{21}$的精确值和对$Δm^{2}_{21}$的严格限制。暴露于核反应堆的反中微子几乎增加了四倍,以前的结果,2.44 $\times10^{32}$质子-年,由于更长的寿命和扩大的基准体积。未畸变的反应堆$\barν_{e}$能谱在>5 $σ$时被拒绝。将分析向下扩展到逆β衰变能量阈值,并结合地球中微子,得到最佳拟合$Δm^{2}_{21}$ = $7.58^{+0.14}_{-0.13}(stat)^{+0.15}_{-0.15}(syst)\times10^{-5}$ eV $^{2}$和$\tan^2 θ_{12}$ = $0.56^{+0.10}_{0.07}(stat)^{+0.10}_{-0.06}(syst)$。局部$Δχ^2$ -在较高和较低$Δm^{2}_{21}$时的最小值在>4 $σ$时不利。结合太阳中微子数据,得到了$Δm^{2}_{21}$ = $7.59^{+0.21}_{-0.21}\times10^{-5}$ eV $^{2}$和$\tan^2 θ_{12}$ = $0.47^{+0.06}_{-0.05}$ .

英文摘要:

The KamLAND experiment has determined a precise value for the neutrino oscillation parameter $Δm^{2}_{21}$ and stringent constraints on $θ_{12}$. The exposure to nuclear reactor anti-neutrinos is increased almost fourfold over previous results to 2.44$\times10^{32}$ proton-yr due to longer livetime and an enlarged fiducial volume. An undistorted reactor $\barν_{e}$ energy spectrum is now rejected at >5$σ$. Extending the analysis down to the inverse beta decay energy threshold, and incorporating geo-neutrinos, gives a best-fit at $Δm^{2}_{21}$= $7.58^{+0.14}_{-0.13}(stat)^{+0.15}_{-0.15}(syst)\times10^{-5}$ eV$^{2}$ and $\tan^2 θ_{12}$=$0.56^{+0.10}_{0.07}(stat)^{+0.10}_{-0.06}(syst)$. Local $Δχ^2$-minima at higher and lower $Δm^{2}_{21}$ are disfavored at >4$σ$. Combining with solar neutrino data, we obtain $Δm^{2}_{21}$= $7.59^{+0.21}_{-0.21}\times10^{-5}$ eV$^{2}$ and $\tan^2 θ_{12}$=$0.47^{+0.06}_{-0.05}$.
