Imprints ofC P violation induced by sterile neutrinos in T2K data
Abstract: We investigate the impact of light (∼ eV) sterile neutrinos in the long-baseline experiment T2K. We show that, within the 3+1 scheme, for mass-mixing parameters suggested by the short-baseline anomalies, the interference among the sterile and the atmospheric oscillation frequencies induces a new term in the νµ → νe transition probability, which has the same order of magnitude of the standard 3-flavor solar-atmospheric interference term. We show, for the first time, that current T2K data, taken together with th…

“…We include the 4-flavor effects both in the ν µ → ν e appearance channel and in the ν µ → ν µ disappearance channel. We have found that, for the ν µ → ν µ disappearance channel, the survival probability is very close to the 3-flavor case, in agreement with the analytical considerations made in [19]. We consider the true value of sin 2 2θ 13 to be 0.085 (see table 1) to generate the data and keep it fixed in the fit expecting that the Daya Bay experiment would be able to measure θ 13 with a very high-precision (∼ 3% relative precision at 1σ C.L.)…”

“…( 7) (proportional to s 2 13 ) and the amplitude of the two standard interference terms (which are both proportional to s 13 ). A comparison of our results with those presented in [1,2] shows that the 68% and 90% bounds on δ 14 are slightly weaker, despite the improved statistics accumulated in the LBL data. This is due to having taken into account the uncertainty on θ 14 and θ 24 , which in [1,2] were both fixed to sin 2 θ 14 = sin 2 θ 24 = 0.025.…”

“…Therefore, in contrast to the vacuum case, in matter, the flavor conversion is sensitive to the two parameters θ 34 and δ 34 . Concerning the ν µ → ν e appearance probability, this behavior has been already pointed out in the analytical treatment presented in [6] (see the appendix therein), and successively noticed in the numerical simulations performed in [25].…”
