  3. Motivation from theory

  4. Where does CPV enter? • Example: Type I seesaw (heavy SM singlets Nc) Could also be type-II, III seesaw,radiative generation of neutrino mass, etc. Block-diag. Primary source of CPV(depends BSM theory) Charged leptonmass terms Eff. neutrinomass terms Effective source of CPV(only sectorial origin relevant) Observable CPV(completely model-indep.) CC

  5. Connection to measurement • From the measurement point of view:It makes sense to discuss only observable CPV(because anything else is model-dependent!) • At high E (type I-seesaw): 9 (MR)+18 (MD)+18 (Ml) = 45 parameters • At low E: 6 (masses) + 3 (mixing angles) + 3 (phases) = 12 parameters LBL accessible CPV: dIf  UPMNS real CP conserved CPV in 0nbb decay Extremely difficult! (Pascoli, Petcov, Rodejohann, hep-ph/0209059) There is no specific connectionbetween low- and high-E CPV! But: that‘s not true for special (restrictive) assumptions!

  6. Why is CPV interesting? • Leptogenesis:CPV from Ncdecays • If special assumptions(such as hier. MR,NH light neutrinos, …)it is possible that dCPis the only source ofCPV for leptogensis! (Nc)i (Nc)i ~ MD(in basis where Ml and MR diagonal) Different curves:different assumptions for q13, … (Pascoli, Petcov, Riotto, hep-ph/0611338)

  7. How well do we need to measure? • We need generic argumentsExample: Parameter space scan for eff. 3x3 case (QLC-type assumptions, arbitrary phases, arbitrary Ml)The QLC-type assumptions lead to deviations O(qC) ~ 13 • Can also be seen in sum rules for certain assumptions, such as(F: model parameter) • This talk: Want Cabibbo-angle order precision for dCP! (arXiv:0709.2163) (Niehage, Winter, arXiv:0804.1546)

  8. CPV phenomenology

  9. Terminology • Any value of dCP(except for 0 and p)violates CP • Sensitivity to CPV:Exclude CP-conservingsolutions 0 and pfor any choiceof the other oscillationparameters in their allowed ranges

  10. Measurement of CPV • Antineutrinos: • Magic baseline: • Silver: • Platinum, Superb.: (Cervera et al. 2000; Freund, Huber, Lindner, 2000; Huber, Winter, 2003; Akhmedov et al, 2004)

  11. Degeneracies Iso-probability curves • CP asymmetry(vacuum) suggests the use of neutrinos and antineutrinos • One discrete deg.remains in (q13,d)-plane(Burguet-Castell et al, 2001) • Additional degeneracies: (Barger, Marfatia, Whisnant, 2001) • Sign-degeneracy (Minakata, Nunokawa, 2001) • Octant degeneracy (Fogli, Lisi, 1996) Neutrinos Antineutrinos Best-fit

  12. Intrinsic vs. extrinsic CPV • The dilemma: Strong matter effects (high E, long L), but Earth matter violates CP • Intrinsic CPV (dCP) has to be disentangled from extrinsicCPV (from matter effects) • Example: p-transitFake sign-solutioncrosses CP conservingsolution • Typical ways out: • T-inverted channel?(e.g. beta beam+superbeam,platinum channel at NF, NF+SB) • Second (magic) baseline Critical range True dCP (violates CP maximally) NuFact, L=3000 km Degeneracy above 2s(excluded) Fit True (Huber, Lindner, Winter, hep-ph/0204352)

  13. CPV discovery reach … in (true) sin22q13 and dCP Best performanceclose to max. CPV (dCP = p/2 or 3p/2) Sensitive region as a function of trueq13 anddCP dCP values now stacked for each q13 No CPV discovery ifdCP too close to 0 or p No CPV discovery forall values of dCP 3s Cabibbo-angleprecision for dCP ~ 85%!Fraction 80% (3s) corresponds to Cabibbo-angleprecision at 2sBENCHMARK! Read: If sin22q13=10-3, we expect a discovery for 80% of all values of dCP

  14. CPV as a fct. of q13 • General structure: Signal • Even without systematics (NC, mis-ID, …): • For sin22q13 << a2 ~ 10-3 • Lose sensitivity with sin 2q13 • For sin22q13 >~ a2 ~ 10-3 • Sensitivity almost constant over wide range of q13

  15. Optimization for CPV • Small q13:Optimize discovery reach in q13 direction • Large q13:Optimize discovery reach in (true) dCPdirection • What defines “small” vs “large q13”? A Double Chooz, Day Bay, T2K, … discovery? Optimization for large q13 Optimization for small q13

  16. Large q13 strategy • Assume e.g. that Double Chooz discovers q13 • Minimum wish listeasy to define: • 5s independent confirmation of q13 > 0 • 3s mass hierarchy determination for any (true) dCP • 3s CP violation determination for 80% (true) dCP(~ 2s sensitvity to a Cabibbo angle-size CP violation) For any (true) q13 in 90% CL D-Chooz allowed range! • What is the minimal effort (minimal cost) for that? • NB: Such a minimum wish list is non-trivial for small q13 (arXiv:0804.4000; Sim. from hep-ph/0601266; 1.5 yr far det. + 1.5 yr both det.)

  17. Beta beam concept… originally proposed for CERN (CERN layout; Bouchez, Lindroos, Mezzetto, 2003; Lindroos, 2003; Mezzetto, 2003; Autin et al, 2003) (Zucchelli, 2002) • Key figure (any beta beam):Useful ion decays/year? • Often used “standard values”:3 10186He decays/year1 101818Ne decays/year • Typical g ~ 100 – 150 (for CERN SPS) More recent modifications: • Higher g(Burguet-Castell et al, hep-ph/0312068) • Different isotope pairs leading to higher neutrino energies (same g) (http://ie.lbl.gov/toi) (C. Rubbia, et al, 2006)

  18. Example: Minimal beta beam (arXiv:0804.4000) • Minimal effort = • One baseline only • Minimal g • Minimal luminosity • Any L (green-field!) • Example: Optimize L-g for fixed Lumi: • CPV constrains minimal g • g as large as 350 may not even be necessary!(see hep-ph/0503021) • CERN-SPS good enough? Sensitivity for entire Double Chooz allowed range! 5yr x 1.1 1018 Ne and 5yr x 2.9 1018 He useful decays

  19. Example: low-E NuFact • A low-E NuFact performs similarly • Combination with platinumchannel or superbeam may help 3s Benchmark: 80% (from: Huber, Winter, arXiv:0706.2862; also: Geer, Mena, Pascoli, hep-ph/0701258; Bross et al, arXiv:0708.3889)

  20. Small q13 strategyExample: Beta beams • Assume that Double Chooz … do not find q13 • Example: Beta beam in q13-direction (for max. CPV) • „Minimal effort“ is a matter of cost! LSF ~ 2 50 kt MIDL=400 km (LSF) (Huber et al, hep-ph/0506237) (Agarwalla et al, arXiv:0802.3621)

  21. Neutrino factory:International design study (Geer, 1997; de Rujula, Gavela, Hernandez, 1998; Cervera et al, 2000) IDS-NF: • Initiative from ~ 2007-2012 to present a design report, schedule, cost estimate, risk assessment for a neutrino factory • In Europe: Close connection to „Euronus“ proposal within the FP 07 • In the US: „Muon collider task force“ Signal prop. sin22q13 Contamination Muons decay in straight sections of a storage ring ISS

  22. IDS-NF baseline setup 1.0 • Two decay rings • Em=25 GeV • 5x1020 useful muon decays per baseline(both polarities!) • Two baselines:~4000 + 7500 km • Two MIND, 50kt each • Currently: MECC at shorter baseline (https://www.ids-nf.org/)

  23. CPV physics potential 3s • Excellent q13, MH, CPV discovery reaches (IDS-NF, 2007) • Robust optimum for ~ 4000 + 7500 km • Optimization even robust under non-standard physics(dashed curves) (Kopp, Ota, Winter, arXiv:0804.2261)

  24. Experiment comparison • The sensitivities are expected to lie somewhere between the limiting curves • Example: IDS-NF baseline(~ dashed curve) (ISS physics WG report, arXiv:0810.4947, Fig. 105)

  25. CP precision measurement

  26. Why is that interesting? • Theoretical exampleLarge mixingsfrom CL and n sectors?Example: q23l = q12n = p/4, perturbations from CL sector(can be connected with textures)(Niehage, Winter, arXiv:0804.1546) • The value of dCP is interesting (even if there is no CPV) • Phenomenological exampleStaging scenarios: Build one baseline first, and then decide depending on the outcome • Is dCP in the „good“ (0 < dCP < p) or „evil“ (p < dCP < 2p) range?(signal for neutrinos ~ +sin dCP) dCPandoctantdiscriminatethese examples!

  27. Performance indicator: CP coverage • Problem: dCP is a phase (cyclic) • Define CP coverage (CPC):Allowed range for dCP which fits a chosen true value • Depends on true q13 and true dCP • Range:0 < CPC <= 360 • Small CPC limit:Precision of dCP • Large CPC limit:360 - CPCis excluded range

  28. CP pattern • Performance as a function of dCP (true) • Example: Staging.If 3000-4000 km baseline operates first, one can use this information to determine if a second baseline is needed Precision limit Exclusion limit (Huber, Lindner, Winter, hep-ph/0412199)

  29. CPV from non-standard physics?

  30. CPV from non-standard interactions • Example: non-standard interactions (NSI) in matter from effective four-fermion interactions: • Discovery potential for NSI-CPV in neutrino propagation at the NFEven if there is no CPV instandard oscillations, we mayfind CPV!But what are the requirements for a model to predict such large NSI? ~ current bound IDS-NF baseline 1.0 (arXiv:0808.3583) 3s

  31. CPV discovery for large NSI • If both q13 and |eetm| large, the change to discover any CPV will be even larger: For > 95%of arbitrary choices of the phases • NB: NSI-CPV can also affect the production/detection of neutrinos(Gonzalez-Garcia et al, hep-ph/0105159; Fernandez-Martinez et al, hep-ph/0703098; Altarelli, Meloni, 0809.1041) IDS-NF baseline 1.0 (arXiv:0808.3583)

  32. Models for large NSI? • Effective operator picture:Describes additions to the SM in a gauge-inv. way! • Example: NSI for TeV-scale new physicsd=6: ~ (100 GeV/1 TeV)2 ~ 10-2 compared to the SMd=8: ~ (100 GeV/1 TeV)4 ~ 10-4 compared to the SM • Current bounds, such as from CLFV: one cannot construct large (= observable) leptonic matter NSI with d=6 operators (except for ettm, maybe)(Bergmann, Grossman, Pierce, hep-ph/9909390; Antusch, Baumann, Fernandez-Martinez, arXiv:0807.1003; Gavela, Hernandez, Ota, Winter,arXiv:0809.3451) • Need d=8 effective operators! • Finding a model with large NSI is not trivial! n mass d=6, 8, 10, ...: NSI

  33. Systematic analysis for d=8 Feynman diagrams Basis (Berezhiani, Rossi, 2001) • Decompose all d=8 leptonic operators systematically • The bounds on individual operators from non-unitarity, EWPD, etc are very strong! (Antusch, Baumann, Fernandez-Martinez, arXiv:0807.1003) • Need at least two mediator fields plus a number of cancellation conditions(Gavela, Hernandez, Ota, Winter, arXiv:0809.3451) Avoid CLFVat d=8:C1LEH=C3LEH Combinedifferentbasis elements C1LEH, C3LEH Canceld=8CLFV But these mediators cause d=6 effects Additional cancellation condition(Buchmüller/Wyler – basis)

  34. Summary • The Dirac phase dCP is probably the only realistically observable CP phase in the lepton sector • Maybe the only observable CPV evidence for leptogenesis • This and f1, f2: the only completely model-inpendent parameterization of CPV • What precision do we want for it? Cabibbo-angle precision?  Relates to fraction of „dCP“ ~ 80-85% • The perspectives for a measurement are best if q13 is not too small and not too large • For a BB or NF, the experiment optimization/choice depends on q13 large or small • Other interesting aspects in connection with CPV: CP precision measurement, NSI-CPV

  36. Minimal beta beam at the CERN-SPS?(g fixed to maximum at SPS) (arXiv:0809.3890)

  37. Appearance ratesNF Golden-SB appearance-NF Platinum • Ep chosen such that SB peaks at lower E • Platinum peaks at higher E (spectrum!) Golden Em=5 GeVL=1250 km 2.5 1021 useful muon decays (Huber, Winter, 2007)

  38. Low-E Nufact optimization • Geer et al. choices are sufficiently close to optimum • NF-SB synergistic, better performance than NF alone • Our choices : L = 900 km, Em = 5 GeV and L=1250 km, Em=5 GeV(given the low energy ~ minimum effort constraint) Doubleluminosity! CP fraction for discovery (3s) , sin22q13=0.1 (Huber, Winter, 2007)
