The atmospheric neutrino-flux is calculated over the wide energy range from 1
GeV to 3,000 GeV for the study of neutrino-physics using the data from
underground neutrino-detectors. The uncertainty of atmospheric neutrino-flux is
also discussed. A brief comment is made to interpret the anomaly in terms of
neutrino oscillations.Comment: 8 pages, PTPTEX.sty, to appear in Proceedings of YKIS '95, From the
Standard Model to Grand Unified Theorie
New physics beyond the Standard Model can lead to extra matter effects on neutrino oscillation if the new interactions distinguish among the three flavors of neutrino. In Ref. 1, we argued that a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment in which the Fermilab-NUMI beam in its high-energy mode 2 is aimed at the planned Hyper-Kamiokande detector 3 would be capable of constraining the size of those extra matter effects, provided the vacuum value of sin 2 2θ 23 is not too close to one. In this talk, we discuss how such a constraint would translate into limits on the coupling constants and masses of new particles in models such as topcolor assisted technicolor. 4
Supersymmetric contributions to the neutron electric dipole moment (EDM) are studied taking account of the flavor changing interactions. We found that the gluino contribution is sensitive to the flavor changing interaction. Enhancement of neutron EDM via flavor mixing effects is possible when the squark mass difference between the different generations is sizable. As an example, the results of the SUSY SU(5) GUT with right-handed neutrinos are briefly discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
