  1. Mauro Mezzetto, Istituto Nazionale Fisica Nucleare, Padova Neutrino parameters with large experiments (CP violation, mass hierarchy,...) • Present Status • Different approaches for mass hierarchy • Measuring CP: Dune and Hyper-Kamiokande • APPEC considerations

  2. What’s missing in neutrino oscillations Neutrino mass ordering Leptonic CP violation δ CP the CP violating phase in the PMNS mixing matrix atmospheric: atmospheric: Out of the 26 (please inform Wikipedia that aren’t 19) free parameters of the Standard Model, 4 are not yet measured: m ν e , m νµ , m ντ , δ CP • To single out the three neutrino masses it’s necessary to measure the neutrino mass ordering δ CP can be detected by measuring differences between oscillation rates of • neutrinos and antineutrinos M. Mezzetto, INFN Padova, APPEC Town Meeting, Paris 2

  3. Beyond the Standard Model • The smallnes of neutrino masses calls for extensions of the Higgs sector . An inverse mass ordering would be an intringuing hint to build such extensions. Neutrino masses are the only laboratory check of cosmological parameters . • CP violation in neutrino oscillations could be an important new ingredient to understand the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the Universe • Sterile neutrinos are by definition physics beyond the standard model • Precise measures of oscillation rates have the potential to show new physics (unitarity of the mixing matrix, NSI in neutrino oscillations, deviations from expected values of matter effects) • The large detectors necessary for MH or CP searches have great potential for non- accelerator physics: proton decay, indirect DM searches, relic SN neutrinos etc. M. Mezzetto, INFN Padova, APPEC Town Meeting, Paris 3

  4. Short term: short baselines (sterile neutrinos) The 3 ν model is matched by 4 anomalies conspiring to the same oscillation parameters LSND: a 3.5 σ excess of ν e events in a neutrino beam created by pion decays at rest. First paper on 1995, the experiment has never been repeated. MiniBoone : a 10 years effort at Fermilab to check the LSND result at different energies (but same L/E), the final result had been inconclusive. Reactor anomaly: recent recalculation of neutrino fluxes at reactors showed an enhancement of about 3.5% of absolute fluxes with respect to previous calculations: all the reactor experiments at very short baselines could be reinterpreted as evidence of ν e disappearance (about 2.5 σ ). Recent results on reactor experiments seriously match the reliability of these recent calculations. Source calibration of Gallex and SAGE: the source calibration of these experiments showed a 15% deficit of ν e events. To be noted that the calibration had been designed and funded to check the efficiency of the detectors, while the sterile evidence is there assuming 100% efficiency of the detectors. Overall fit : the 4 anomalies can accommodated in the same oscillation model by adding a 4 th , sterile, neutrino, with a mass of about 1 eV, nevertheless tensions exist in the global fit Cosmology : severely constraints total number of neutrinos to 3 and their mass below 1 eV Most economical way to falsify steriles : a convincing null result from the source experiments at Borex (SOX) would falsify the sterile n interpretation of anomalies Most complete way to explore the phenomenology if steriles exist : the new short baseline project at Fermilab, with 3 liquid argon detectors, has the potential of fully exploit the several manifestations of sterile neutrinos.

  5. Medium term: ν mass ordering • Pure oscillation effects in ν e disappearance: Juno • Matter effects in ν µ disappearance: INO , Hyper- Should be updated Orca and HK not Kamiokande included • Matter effects in ν e appearance: NO ν A , Dune, Hyper-Kamiokande • Resonancees of matter effects in neutrino oscillations: Orca, Pingu (Very) long baseline ν experiments have the best potential for this measurement, they set a time window for experiments with 3 σ sensitivity M. Mezzetto, INFN Padova, APPEC Town Meeting, Paris 5

  6. ORCA and PINGU ORCA: arXiv:1601.07459; PINGU: arXiv:1401.2046 Resonant region: measure MH Saturated region: measure ∆ m 2 Dilution and systematics due to ν flux, cross-sections and angle smearing… but effect is large; Requires the identification of both ν µ and ν e (not cascade) events.

  7. ORCA and PINGU ORCA LoI Yanez, Kouchner: Adv.High Energy Phys. 2015 (2015) 271968 PINGU LoI Performances are still preliminary • Neutrino cross sections, not known oscillation parameters and systematic errors could degrade performances (Capozzi et al, PhysRev.D.91.073011) • Evaluation of event inelasticity could improve performances (Ribordy Smirnov, PhysRevD.87.11307) NC contamination in the ν e sample to be fully • computed ORCA : Installation time 3 years, ready in 2020 if funded in 2017 PINGU : Procurement and installation takes 4 years.

  8. JUNO CDR: arXiv:1508.07166, Physics: J.Phys.

  11. What we know today about δ CP T2K (Phys.Rev. D88 (2013) 3, 032002) and NO ν A (arXiv:1601.05022) measure a combination of θ 13 and δ CP while reactors (PDG 2012) measure pure θ 13 effects. Their combination favours δ CP =- π /2 M. Mezzetto, INFN Padova, APPEC Town Meeting, Paris 11

  17. Two players: Dune and Hyper-Kamiokande

  18. Two complementary approaches • HK : – short baseline →no matter effects: pure CP but reduced MH – Off axis → reduced intrinsic ν e contamination, reduced NC backgrounds • DUNE : – Long baseline → sensitive to matter effects: excellent performances in MH On axis: second oscillation maximum and sensitive to ν τ – appearance (tiny effects at 1300 km) – On axis: extended lever of arm for measurement of oscillation parameters M. Mezzetto, INFN Padova, APPEC Town Meeting, Paris 18
