Understanding Earth Matter Effect in Neutrino Oscillation 廖玮 华东理工大学近代物理所 Base on PRD77, 053002(2008) arXiv: 0802.2642 Nucl. Phys. B702, 307(2004) Contents Neutrino oscillation Earth matter effect Oscillation of low energy neutrinos Oscillation of high energy neutrinos Non-standard matter effect in oscillation Conclusion Earth Density Profile  1) is complicated 2) was not known how to formulate  3) gives problem in precision measurement in future experimentsWe are going to  1) describe neutrino oscillation using perturbation theories 2) answer how to simplify physics picture and data analysisFor solar neutrinos, supernovae neutrinos (E 50 MeV),  atmospheric neutrinos, extra-galactic neutrinos(E 500 MeV) For solar neutrinos, supernovae neutrinos E 50 MeV, 3-3 analysis reduced to 2-2 analysis de Holanda, Liao, Smirnov, 2004For Solar Neutrino E 20 MeVL31 ～ 10 km, L21 ～ 100 kmL21,31 hNeutrino events can see thestructure of the EarthOscillation pattern can be perfectly described by an adiabatic perturbation theoryexpanded using 2 E Ve /Δm221 For solar neutrinoThe thoery tells us 1) averaging over energy greatly simplify the oscillation pattern 2) main uncertainty is in events of neutrinos coming horizontally to detectors For atmospheric neutrinos, extra-galactic neutrinos, and so on E 500 MeV, we do 3-3 analysis E 10 GeV L21 , L31 h Neutrino 1) can not see the structure of the Earth 2) see an average potential in matter The analytic result is computed using average potential in neutrino trajectory A very nice hint! Conclusion We have shown that neutrino oscillation in the Earth can be perfectly described by perturbation theories in energy range with broad interests. 1) These theories tell us how to simplify the physical pictures; more importantly they tell us how to simplify data analysis. 2) Core crossing neutrino events are interesting when non-standard matter effec
