abstract

We present a number of complete sets of series expansion formulas for neutrino oscillation probabilities in matter of constant density for three flavors. In particular, we study expansions in the mass hierarchy parameter $\alpha \equiv \Delta m_{21}^2/\Delta m_{31}^2$ and mixing parameter $s_{13} \equiv \sin \theta_{13}$ up to second order and expansions only in $\alpha$ and only in $s_{13}$ up to first order. For each type of expansion we also present the corresponding formulas for neutrino oscillations in vacuum.We perform a detailed analysis of the accuracy of the different sets of series expansion formulas and investigate which type of expansion is most accurate in different regions of the parameter space spanned by the neutrino energy E, the baseline length L, and the expansion parameters $\alpha$ and $s_{13}$.We also present the formulas for series expansions in $\alpha$ and in $s_{13}$ up to first order for the case of arbitrary matter density profiles. Furthermore, it is shown that in general all the 18 neutrino and antineutrino oscillation probabilities can be expressed through just two independent probabilites.

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    An analytic effective theory of the sterile-active MSW resonance in the (3+1) model reveals that only three channels, P(νe→νe), P(ν̄e→ν̄e), and P(ν̄μ→ν̄τ), carry unsuppressed on-peak resonance effects.

    A Monte Carlo sensitivity study projects that the IceCube Upgrade with DeepCore can detect Earth matter effects at 5.5-7.1 sigma, reject a uniform Earth at 2.4 sigma, and measure the Earth's mass to about 10% precision.

    Combined CPT-violating and CPT-conserving Lorentz-invariance-violation parameters suppress DUNE's CP-violation sensitivity below 3σ over much of the δ_CP range and introduce parameter degeneracies that complicate δ_CP...

    A new correlation-exploiting parameter is introduced for dual-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments to aid determination of mass hierarchy and CP phase, analyzed in the T2HKK context.

    hep-ph 2025-04 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Including the Standard Model one-loop correction to the matter potential, a 2.0% increase when expressed with G_mu, improves DUNE's mass-ordering sensitivity by about 0.4 sigma and reaches 5 sigma four to nine days earlier.
