AI总结:

NOvA实验通过分析NuMI束流数据,探索eV尺度无中微子振荡,并计划利用增强器中微子束流提高灵敏度。

摘要:

NOvA实验最近对eV尺度的无中微子进行搜索,在3+1模型下同时分析NuMI束流在近(约1公里基线)和远(810公里基线)探测器的μ子中微子和中性电流数据集,以寻找与无中微子振荡一致的结果。该分析在参数空间区域Δm²₄₁≥1 eV²的范围内受到系统限制。该区域参数空间受当前实验异常的无中微子解释偏好,因此在此区域提高灵敏度是优先事项。这些报告介绍了我们当前的搜索策略,并讨论了未来计划,包括纳入来自第二束流线,即增强器中微子束流的数据,以提高参数空间系统主导区域的灵敏度。

英文摘要:

The NOvA experiment's most recent search for eV-scale sterile neutrinos under a 3+1 model simultaneously analyses muon neutrino and neutral current datasets from the NuMI beam at its Near ($\sim$\qty{1}{km} baseline) and Far (\qty{810}{km} baseline) detectors to look for oscillations consistent with a sterile neutrino. The analysis is systematically limited in the region of parameter space where $Δm^2_{41} \gtrsim 1~\mathrm{eV}^2$. This region of parameter space is preferred by sterile neutrino interpretations of current experimental anomalies and so improving sensitivity here is high-priority. These proceedings present our current search strategy, and discusses future plans to include data from a second beamline, the Booster Neutrino Beam, to improve our sensitivity in systematics-dominated regions of parameter space.
