利用ANTARES中微子望远镜2007 - 2010年863天的观测数据,对大气中微子振荡参数进行了测量。μ子轨道重建的能量低至20 GeV。中微子振荡将导致这种能量的垂直上行μ子中微子穿过地球时受到抑制。通过拟合事件率作为估计的中微子能量和重建的通过地球的飞行路径的比率的函数,提取确定大气中微子振荡的参数。测量轮廓的振荡参数在两个味近似推导。假设最大混合,则获得质量差为$Δm_{32}^2=(3.1\pm 0.9)\cdot 10^{-3}$ eV $^2$,与世界平均值非常一致。
英文摘要:
The data taken with the ANTARES neutrino telescope from 2007 to 2010, a total live time of 863 days, are used to measure the oscillation parameters of atmospheric neutrinos. Muon tracks are reconstructed with energies as low as 20 GeV. Neutrino oscillations will cause a suppression of vertical upgoing muon neutrinos of such energies crossing the Earth. The parameters determining the oscillation of atmospheric neutrinos are extracted by fitting the event rate as a function of the ratio of the estimated neutrino energy and reconstructed flight path through the Earth. Measurement contours of the oscillation parameters in a two-flavour approximation are derived. Assuming maximum mixing, a mass difference of $Δm_{32}^2=(3.1\pm 0.9)\cdot 10^{-3}$ eV$^2$ is obtained, in good agreement with the world average value.
ANTARES合作的目的是在地中海2500米深的地方建造一个深海切伦科夫中微子望远镜,距离土伦附近的La Seyne sur Mer海岸约40公里。该合作成立于1996年,实验目前处于建设阶段。最后一个ANTARES探测器由12根弦组成,每根弦配备75个光电倍增管,计划在2007年之前全部部署并采集数据。该项目的目的是探测能量超过约1000的大气和地外中微子。10 GeV的切伦科夫光,这是在水中产生的带电粒子在中微子相互作用。
