Mission: Theory SubroupEstablish the neutrino physics case
• Robust arguments for peers• ‘Elevator pitch’ for decision makers
H.Murayama
If you happen to be on an elevator with a powerful senator, can you explain why you want to spend ~B$ on your project in 30 seconds ?

H.Murayama
Many of these questions usually reside in GUT scale and beyond,
Y.Nagashima, ISS060427
6
It is very difficult to establish a one-to-one correspondence between GUT scale predictions and low energy observables.A given model, however, usually has generic predictions for low energy observables.Therefore studying neutrinos allows to gain considerable insight into phenomena which otherwise would be in accessible.Colliders can not probe this kind of physics, since any effects in scattering amplitudes are suppressed by MGUT, ~O(10-10) at LHC !

Reminder: Studies before ISS SB outperforms NF at large 13
Very little study on Beta Beam
(Fig. from Huber, Lindner, Winter, hep-ph/0412199)

For small 13 (<0.01)Superbeams will not address 13,
mass hierarchy, or CP violationA clear case for NF and/or -beamYet, many people take an attitude
“Wait until what SB finds, NF is useful only for small 13”
However, Will we get the funds to get a neutrino facto
ry even if all previous investments end up “unsuccessful”? (de Gouvêa: )
Investigate NF performance at high 13

Use a Better Detector100 kton, magetised ironTwo performance assumptions:
‘Better’:
– Threshold
– Resolution
‘Baseline’:
– Threshold
– Resolution
Threshold moreimportant than
resolution

Better detector: Large 13
Can compete with the superbeam upgrades (prel.)Both better Eres and threshold useful at large 13
Large +better detector prefers shorter baselines (1000-2000km); E small OK

Golden + (Silver, Platinum)Improves sensitivity to CP violation at large 13

Now we have a good handle to make NF competitive at large 13
Need to demonstrate with realistic detectors !!

32
Interactions: Physics-Detector
“Close the loop”Better detector = key component
in large 13 discussion! Need best possible detector with
1. Better low energy efficiences2. Better energy resolution?Understanding of systematics is critical.
Crosssections, Backgrounds, matter distribution, etc. At large 13, it is the limiting factor.
In addition: e detection, silver channel concepts etc.Consider what physics the near detector can do ?
Good place for new physics ?

Effects of physics beyond the SM

Can be expanded systematically (Weinberg)
Origin of neutrino mass
•The origin of neutrino mass lies in the lowest order effect of physics and thus the most sensitive probe for new physics at high scales.

Conclusions (Reactors : T.Lasserre NO-VE 06)
A further increase of the mass: sin2(213)<0.01 Movable detectors : Daya-bay, Braidwood Motionless detectors: Angra , Triple Chooz Shape only uncorrelated background dominates !!! 1000 mwe: Daya Bay, Angra Need more mass 450 mwe: Braidwood , Triple Chooz Need more mass + x >5 times better bkg
rejection
Several projects of reactor experiment in the pipelines First generation : sin2(213)~0.02-0.03
Rate + Shape Near/Far normalization error dominates (<1% error) Motionless detectors: Double Chooz, KASKA, RENO
A new reactor neutrino experiment dedicated to 13 is now being accepted as an important milestone of the neutrino oscillation program Reactor & Beam programs provide complementary measurements of 13 An early value of 13 will help to define the optimum CP- program
Towards the Second Generation: sin2(213)<0.02 Movable detectors : Daya-bay, Braidwood and motionless Triple Chooz Multi-detector phased programs better cross checks But what is the systematic error induced by moving ‘100 tons’ detectors?

New physics tests:
Test unitarity and small ad-mixtures of “new physics” by: detection Pee+Pe+Pe = 1? (Donini, Meloni, Migliozzi, 2002; Autiero et al, 2004)
Neutral currents (hard) (Barger, Geer, Whisnant, 2004) Spectral signature on probability level
Example: Damping effects(Blennow, Ohlsson, Winter, hep-ph/0502147)
More complicated: Hamiltonian-level effects(e.g., Blennow, Ohlsson, Winter, hep-ph/0508175)
Example: Oscillation-NSI confusion theorem(Huber, Schwetz, Valle, 2002)

In parallel, design studies for alternative facilities must be carried forward:
To allow best possible facility to be identified
