CP and T violation in long baseline experiments with low energy neutrino from muon storage ring

Stimulated by the idea of PRISM, a very high intensity muon ring with rather low energy, we consider possibilities of observing CP-violation effects in neutrino oscillation experiments. More than 10% of CP-violation effect can be seen within the experimentally allowed region. Destructive sum of matter effect and CP-violation effect can be avoided with use of initial nu_e beam. We finally show that the experiment with (a few) x 100 MeV of neutrino energy and (a few) x 100 km of baseline length, which is considered in this paper, is particularly suitable for a search of CP violation in view of statistical error.

T-violation search with very long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments

We consider possibilities of observing T-violation effects in neutrino oscillation experiments with very long baseline (~ 10000 km) using low energy neutrino (~ several hundreds MeV). We show that the matter effect effectively changes only the first-second generation mixing angle, respecting solar neutrino deficits and atmospheric neutrino anomalies. The effective mixing of the first-second generation in the Earth grows up to maximum by resonance. This effect enables one to search T violation in case the first-second mixing angle is small. We discuss its implications to the observations of T-violation effects in long baseline experiments.

CP- and T-Violation Effects in Long Baseline Neutrino Oscillation Experiments

We examine how large CP- and T-violation effects are allowed in long baseline neutrino experiments with three generations of neutrinos, considering both the solar neutrino deficit and the atmospheric neutrino anomaly. We considerd two cases: When we attribute only the atmospheric neutrino anomaly to neutrino oscillation and assume the constant transition probability of electron neutrino to explain the solar neutrino deficit, we may have large CP-violation effect. When we attribute both the atmospheric neutrino anomaly and the solar neutrino deficit to neutrino oscillation, we can see sizable T-violation effects. In this case, however, we cannot ignore the matter effect and we will not see the pure CP-violation effect. We also show simple methods how to separate pure CP violating effect from the matter effect. We give compact formulae for neutrino oscillation probabilities assuming one of the three neutrino masses (presumably tau neutrino mass) to be much larger than the other masses and the effective mass due to matter effect. Two methods are shown: One is to observe envelopes of the curves of oscillation probabilities as functions of neutrino energy; a merit of this method is that only a single detector is enough to determine the presence of CP violation. The other is to compare experiments with at least two different baseline lengths; this has a merit that it needs only narrow energy range of oscillation data.

Effects of Matter Density Fluctuation in Long Baseline Neutrino Oscillation Experiments

The effects of matter density fluctuation in long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments are studied. Effects of short wavelength fluctuations are in general irrelevant. Effects of long wavelength fluctuations must be checked on a case-by-case basis. As an example we checked the fluctuation effects and showed its irrelevance in a case of K2K experiments.
