中微子混合角θ_13的研究进展

Progress on the neutrino mixing angle, theta_13

D. Karlen

摘要:

直到最近,描述nu_3质量本征态中nu_e分量的θ_13的测量只给出了上限,留下了它为零的可能性,并消除了中微子扇区中CP破坏的来源。今年,随着精密反应堆实验从建造阶段进入物理运行阶段,以及加速器实验首次表明θ 13不同于零,在测量θ 13方面取得了重大进展。在未来的几年里,这些和其他实验的结果将严格测试中微子振荡的PMNS框架,并将开始提供有关中微子CP破坏和中微子质量等级的信息。本文综述了在中微子研究的关键时刻测量θ_13的情况。

英文摘要:

Until recently, measurements of theta_13, which describes the nu_e component in the nu_3 mass eigenstate, gave only upper limits, leaving open the possibility that it is zero and eliminating a source of CP violation in the neutrino sector. This year has seen significant advances in measuring theta_13 as precision reactor experiments move from construction phase to physics operation and accelerator experiments give first indications that theta_13 differs from zero. In the years to come, the results from these and other experiments will stringently test the PMNS framework for neutrino oscillation and will start to give information about neutrino CP violation and the neutrino mass hierarchy. This paper summarizes the situation for measuring theta_13 at this pivotal time in neutrino research.
