The Neutrino Scene Solar Neutrinos There is some spectrum of 3 or more neutrino mass eigenstates ni: What Have We Learned? If LSND is confirmed, there are at least 4 neutrino species. If LSND is not confirmed, nature may contain only 3 neutrinos. Then, from the existing data, the neutrino spectrum looks like — The Mixing Matrix — The Future —What We Would Like to Find Out How many different kinds of neutrinos are there? What are the masses of the neutrinos? What implications do neutrinos and solar-physics/astrophysics/cosmology have for each other? Are neutrinos their own antiparticles? Working Groups — The Central Element Each working group is defined by an experimental approach. The groups and their leaders — Solar and Atmospheric Neutrino Experiments John Bahcall jnb@, Josh Klein jrk@ Reactor Neutrino Experiments Gabriela Barenboim gabriela@, Ed Blucher blucher@ Superbeam Experiments and Development Bill Marciano marciano@, Doug Michael michael@ Neutrino Factory and Beta Beam Experiments and Development Stephen Geer sgeer@, Michael Zisman mszisman@ Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay and Direct Searches for Neutrino Mass Steve Elliott elliotts@, Petr Vogel pxv@ What Cosmology/Astrophysics and Neutrino Physics can Teach Each Other Steve Barwick barwick@HEP., John Beacom beacom@ Theory Discussion Group Rabi Mohapatra rmohapat@ Methods and Payoffs Emphasis on questions whose answers will come from accelerator and reactor experiments. Assume first that there are only 3 neutrino mass eigenstates. What is the neutrino mass spectral pattern? Today: 1.9 ? 10-3 Dm2atm 3.0 ? 10-3 eV2 (90% SuperK) Tomorrow: ? Dm2atm ? (MINOS) What is q13 ? sin2 q13 = |Ue3|2 is the small ne piece of n3. n3 is at one end of Dm2atm. ?We need an experiment with L/E sensitive to Dm2atm, and involving ne. Are there more than 3 neutrino mass eigenstates? MiniBooNE can confirm or refute LSND. If MiniBooNE running with n sees no signal, it will not have tested LSN
