LSND, Mini-BooNE and neutrino factories

摘要

The LSND experiment at Los Alamos has observed an excess of events in a search for ν_μ→ν_e oscillations using vtl from μ~+ decay at rest. If attributed to neutrino oscillations, this would imply a value of Δm~2 > 0.2 eV~2. The Mini-BooNE experiment of Fermilab will provide a definitive test of the oscillation interpretation of the LSND signal. Neutrino oscillations with a Δw~2 > 0.2 eV~2 would have significant implications for the physics program at neutrino factories.
