摘要:

中微子质量有序度(MO)的测量是理解粒子物理标准模型轻子味区的基础。它的确定依赖于精确测量$Δm^2_{31}$和$Δm^2_{32}$,使用中微子真空振荡,如中基线反应堆实验研究的振荡,或物质效应修正的振荡,如长基线中微子束(LB $ν$ B)或大气中微子实验中出现的振荡。尽管目前已有MO指示,但完全解析的MO测量($\geq$ 5 $σ$)最有可能等待下一代中微子实验:JUNO,其独立灵敏度为$\sim$ 3 $σ$或LB $ν$ B实验(DUNE和Hyper-Kamiokande)。即将进行的大气中微子实验也有望提供宝贵的信息。在这项工作中,我们研究了最早的完整MO分辨率的可能背景。一个坚定的决议是可能的,甚至在2028年之前,主要利用真空振荡,在JUNO和当前一代的LB $ν$ B实验(NOvA和T2 K)的组合。这种机会是可能的,这要归功于增强整体灵敏度的强大协同作用,其中LB $ν$ B实验的$Δm^2_{32}$的亚百分比精度被发现是MO最早发现的主要阶项。我们还发现,物质和真空驱动的振荡结果之间的比较,使独特的发现潜力的物理学超越标准模型。

英文摘要:

The measurement of neutrino Mass Ordering (MO) is a fundamental element for the understanding of leptonic flavour sector of the Standard Model of Particle Physics. Its determination relies on the precise measurement of $Δm^2_{31}$ and $Δm^2_{32}$ using either neutrino vacuum oscillations, such as the ones studied by medium baseline reactor experiments, or matter effect modified oscillations such as those manifesting in long-baseline neutrino beams (LB$ν$B) or atmospheric neutrino experiments. Despite existing MO indication today, a fully resolved MO measurement ($\geq$5$σ$) is most likely to await for the next generation of neutrino experiments: JUNO, whose stand-alone sensitivity is $\sim$3$σ$, or LB$ν$B experiments (DUNE and Hyper-Kamiokande). Upcoming atmospheric neutrino experiments are also expected to provide precious information. In this work, we study the possible context for the earliest full MO resolution. A firm resolution is possible even before 2028, exploiting mainly vacuum oscillation, upon the combination of JUNO and the current generation of LB$ν$B experiments (NOvA and T2K). This opportunity is possible thanks to a powerful synergy boosting the overall sensitivity where the sub-percent precision of $Δm^2_{32}$ by LB$ν$B experiments is found to be the leading order term for the MO earliest discovery. We also found that the comparison between matter and vacuum driven oscillation results enables unique discovery potential for physics beyond the Standard Model.
