在甚短基线反应堆实验中对无菌中微子的测量

Searches for sterile neutrinos at very short baseline reactor experiments

Mikhail Danilov

摘要:

长期以来,有三个主要的实验迹象支持无菌中微子的存在:LSND实验中的$\bar{ν_μ}$束中出现了$\bar{ν_e}$,反应堆实验中与理论预期相比的$\bar{ν_e}$通量不足,以及Ga太阳中微子实验SAGE和GALEX中放射源校准运行中的$ν_e$不足。这三个问题都可以用质量平方差在$1~\mathrm{eV^2}$范围内的无菌中微子的存在来解释。最近,MiniBooNE合作观察到电子(反)中微子出现在μ子(反)中微子束。当与LSND结果结合时,效果的显著性达到6.0 $σ$水平。甚至最近中微子-4的合作声称观测到了$\bar{ν_e}$振荡到无菌中微子,其显著性略高于3 $σ$。如果这些结果得到证实,就需要超越标准模型的新物理学。10多个实验致力于寻找无菌中微子。六个非常短的基线反应堆实验正在收集数据。我们回顾了这些实验的结果和前景。

英文摘要:

For a long time there were 3 main experimental indications in favor of the existence of sterile neutrinos: $\bar{ν_e}$ appearance in the $\bar{ν_μ}$ beam in the LSND experiment, $\bar{ν_e}$ flux deficit in comparison with theoretical expectations in reactor experiments, and $ν_e$ deficit in calibration runs with radioactive sources in the Ga solar neutrino experiments SAGE and GALEX. All three problems can be explained by the existence of sterile neutrinos with the mass square difference in the ballpark of $1~\mathrm{eV^2}$. Recently the MiniBooNE collaboration observed electron (anti)neutrino appearance in the muon (anti)neutrino beams. The significance of the effect reaches 6.0$σ$ level when combined with the LSND result. Even more recently the NEUTRINO-4 collaboration claimed the observation of $\bar{ν_e}$ oscillations to sterile neutrinos with a significance slightly higher than 3$σ$. If these results are confirmed, New Physics beyond the Standard Model would be required. More than 10 experiments are devoted to searches of sterile neutrinos. Six very short baseline reactor experiments are taking data just now. We review the present results and perspectives of these experiments.
