In this presentation, Hisakazu Minakata from Tokyo Metropolitan University delves into the intriguing question of whether neutrinos violate CP symmetry. He argues that the answer is likely yes due to the properties of the MNS matrix, which suggests non-cancellation among the phases. Minakata discusses the significance of CP violation in neutrino physics and its implications for understanding baryon asymmetry in the universe. He highlights the importance of interdisciplinary approaches in measuring CP violation, exploring both low-energy and high-energy detection methods.

Do Neutrinos Violate CP? Hisakazu Minakata Tokyo Metropolitan University
Do neutrinos violate CP? Tough question! • I believe the answer YES, • Because MNS matrix is S+(l)S(); it is hard to believe that they all cancel out => next sheet • Possibility of cancellation? • accidentally small 13 vs. accidentally small • small 13 may arise if there is a symmetry, but no symmetry is known for tuned small Nishikawa-san may be right … NOVE06@Venice
Do neutrinos violate CP? (continued) • Therefore, absence of KM type CPV highly unlikely • What is nontrivial, however, is to understand the meaning of when it is measured • requires interdisciplinary knowledge, e.g., large mixing in susy sectors, LFV, leptogenesis, KM phase, etc NOVE06@Venice
How about Majorana CPV? • There is a strong argument due to Yanagida-san, which answers the question in the positive • We know that our universe is asymmetric to baryon number • We know that above 1 TeV only meaningful quantum number is B-L, not B or L separately, because of anomaly (“sphaleron”) • Therefore, we must have B+L generation to have nonzero baryon number NOVE06@Venice
How about Majorana CPV? (continued) • Let us assume SM of particle physics => no operator which violates B+L • The lowest dimension operator which violate B-L is which must exists • This is nothing but the neutrino mass operator observed by SK, SNO, KamLAND, and K2K, and others (confirmed to exists!) • Therefore, Majorana mass must exist (otherwise, we do not have baryon # excess) NOVE06@Venice
Rest of my talk • Comments on how to measure CPV • Issue of two (can be naturally) small quantities, 13,deviation from max 23 : • 13 revisited • 23 revisited NOVE06@Venice
How can CPV be probed? NOVE06@Venice
How can CPV be probed? • Low-energy superbeamvs. high-energy factory • Low-energy because CPV is large • High-energy because muon detection is clean • Now, both approaches start to converge! JJ.Gomez-Cadenas (private), Brondel (Nufact-ISS2@KEK) NOVE06@Venice
How CP phase affects oscillation probability? At low energy changes probability in a dynamic way and in a different way from matter Seen clearly by bi-probability plot Art work by Adam Para => Two solutions of S232 x NOVE06@Venice
For experts Spectral information powerful • Intrinsic degeneracy nearly resolved by T2K II setting even at small 13 • Yet, sign-m2 (mass hierarchy) degeneracy is robust Ishitsuka et al. NOVE06@Venice
2 detector method for CPV HM-H.Nunokawa, 97 • Since oscillation is a phase-modulated phenomenon, the distance-dependent information is important • Particularly powerful for 2nd baseline at ~ 2nd oscillation maximum => Kajita-san’s talk for more about it NOVE06@Venice
NOVE03; birthplace of Kamioka-Korea strategy (my story) NOVE06@Venice
How big is 13?; the crucial question NOVE06@Venice
Vanishing 13; ‘t Hooft approved If symmetry is the case … near maximal 23 small 23 Grimus, Ma, Valle … (infinite references) NOVE06@Venice
There are 2 ways to answer the question LBL vs. reactor NOVE06@Venice
New possibility! => Messbauer enhanced e-bar B decay+resonant absorption Raghavan, hep-ph/0511191, hep-ph/0601079 • e-bar+3He+bound-e -> 3H; resonant nature • Monochromatic (18.6keV) e-bar beam from inverse reaction; 3H bound state decay • Recoilless setting by embedding 3H and 3He into solid => Messbauer effect 10 m baseline 13 experiment ! NOVE06@Venice
Rate estimate =1132 s Doppler shift • res = 4.2 x 10-41 [4 (a Z)3] (E e-bar /MeV)/ft 1.2 x 10-5 106/(FDHM) =107 = 10-42 cm2 (capture cross section) • R = f NTres = 0.03/day (100 MCi, 1kg 3He) • T2 ~ 2 ms => = 3 x 10-13 relativeenhancement by a factor of ~ 1012 (x0.07) • res = 10-31 cm2 (11 order enhancement) • R = 3 x 106 /day (1 MCi, 100g 3He, L=10m) Messbauer enhancement million events a day! E/E ~ 10-17 => neutrino’s gravitational red shift NOVE06@Venice
Which kind of 13 experiment? • Spectrum analysis requires multiple detector or movable detector possible because L=10 m • Reduction of systematic error => 0.1-0.3% if direct counting of 3H atom possible • Monochromatic beam + gigantic statistices => high sensitivity not only to 13 but also tom2 NOVE06@Venice
Sensitivities to m2 and sin2213 sin2213 = 0.1 sin2213 = 0.01 • Run IIB = 10 point measurement at LOM/5, 3LOM/5, … 19LOM/5, • each 106 events, usys = 0.2%, c = 10% NOVE06@Venice
Sensitivities to m2 and sin2213 1DOF, optimistic error: usys=0.2% HM & S. Uchinami, hep-ph/0602046 NOVE06@Venice
Sensitivities to m2 and sin2213 1DOF, pessimistic error: usys=1% NOVE06@Venice
mass hierarchy by m2(ee) - m2() Nunokawa et al. 05 NOVE06@Venice
Are there ways to solve 23 degeneracy? NOVE06@Venice
Reactor + accelerator method • A-disappearance => s223=0.4 or 0.6 • A-appearance => s223sin2213 = 0.06 • R => sin2213 = 0.1 • Solves 23 degeneracy MSYIS, hep-ph/0211111 NOVE06@Venice
Region of resolved 23 degeneracy T2K II (4MW+HK) + phase II type reactor; Hiraide et al. (7 Samurai), hep-ph/0601258 MSYIS => NOVE06@Venice
Atm ; best way for 23 degeneracy? T.Kajita@NNN05 NOVE06@Venice
n3 n2 n1 sin2q13 sin2q23 Kajita@Korean detector WS 0.092 Mtonyr Super-K data cosqzenith Analysis with and w/o solar terms Search for non-zero q13 En(GeV) with 12 terns (best fit s2q23 = 0.51) w/o 12 NOVE06@Venice
Conclusion • Leptonic CPV, both KM and Majorana types, very likely to exist • There are still rooms in making progress with ‘‘known conventional beam’’ for exploring CPV • New opportunities exist in Messbauer enhanced recoilless resonant absorption • 23 degeneracy; hardest problem for accelerator (reactor or atmospheric?)
