从TAO到JUNO的反应堆中微子谱映射

Mapping reactor neutrino spectra from TAO to JUNO

Francesco Capozzi, Eligio Lisi, Antonio Marrone

摘要:

江门地下中微子观测站(JUNO)项目的目标是同时探测三味中微子振荡的两个主要频率,以及它们与质量有序(正序或逆序)有关的干扰,观测点距离中国阳江和台山两个强大的反应堆复合体约53 km。在后一个综合体中,来自一个反应堆堆芯的非振荡光谱计划由泰山反中微子天文台(TAO)密切监测,预计其分辨率(x 1/2)和统计数据(x 30)比JUNO更好。在求和计算赋予中微子能谱精细结构特征的背景下,我们详细分析了能量分辨率和核子反冲对可观测事件谱的影响。我们表明,在TAO模型谱可以映射到相应的谱在JUNO通过适当的卷积。映射是准确的假设情况下没有振荡,并持有一个非常好的精度在实际情况下的振荡。然后,我们分析的敏感性,以质量排序的JUNO(和其精确的光谱测量能力)假设一个单一的参考光谱,以及束的变体光谱,通过改变核输入的不确定性从一个公开的工具包求和计算。我们表明,通过卡方分析,变异谱引起的JUNO的灵敏度几乎没有减少,特别是当TAO约束。变异光谱的统计分析的微妙方面也进行了讨论。

英文摘要:

The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) project aims at probing, at the same time, the two main frequencies of three-flavor neutrino oscillations, as well as their interference related to the mass ordering (normal or inverted), at a distance of ~53 km from two powerful reactor complexes in China, at Yangjiang and Taishan. In the latter complex, the unoscillated spectrum from one reactor core is planned to be closely monitored by the Taishan Antineutrino Observatory (TAO), expected to have better resolution (x 1/2) and higher statistics (x 30) than JUNO. In the context of neutrino energy spectra endowed with fine-structure features from summation calculations, we analyze in detail the effects of energy resolution and nucleon recoil on observable event spectra. We show that a model spectrum in TAO can be mapped into a corresponding spectrum in JUNO through appropriate convolutions. The mapping is exact in the hypothetical case without oscillations, and holds to a very good accuracy in the real case with oscillations. We then analyze the sensitivity to mass ordering of JUNO (and its precision oscillometry capabilities) assuming a single reference spectrum, as well as bundles of variant spectra, as obtained by changing nuclear input uncertainties in summation calculations from a publicly available toolkit. We show through a chi-squared analysis that variant spectra induce little reduction of the sensitivity in JUNO, especially when TAO constraints are included. Subtle aspects of the statistical analysis of variant spectra are also discussed.
