Priority:

Status:

New

Study of Neutrino Oscillations

Leader:	Yu.A. Gornushkin
Deputy:	R. Leitner

Participating Countries, Institutes and International organizations:
Bulgaria, Belgium, CERN, Chine, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Japan, Italy, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Ukraine, USA.

Scientific Programme:

Long-baseline neutrino oscillation search and study of neutrino oscillation parameters with the OPERA detector in the CNGS beam (CERN-Gran Sasso)-project OPERA

Search for solar neutrino vacuum oscillations. Direct solar neutrino flux measurements, precise Ве ⁷ neutrino flux measurements with the BOREXINO detector.

Measurement of the

₁₃ neutrino mixing angle in the Daya Bay experiment.

Study of secondary hadron emission in p and

interactions with nuclear targets for justification of the neutrino flux in the current experiments.

Expected main results in 2010:

Data taking with neutrinos from the CNGS beam at the OPERA detector.
Startup of scanning and analysis of OPERA nuclear emulsion at JINR.
Software development for the Target Tracker data analysis. Development of the Brick Finding software.
Data taking with the BOREXINO detector.
Calibration runs with internal light sources for the BOREXINO Fiducial Volume definition (down to 1-2%) and energy calibration.
Measurement of the Ве ⁷ flux with 2 years' statistics. Improvements in systematics.
Setting of a new limit for Pauli principle violation in C ¹² nuclei.
Antineutrino flux measurement.
Precise measurement of ionization quenching with low energy gamma sources in the CTF detector.
Participation in tests and assembly of the Daya Bay central detector.
Tests of elements of the muon detection system of Daya Bay.
Development of Monte Carlo software for cosmogenic background simulation in the Daya Bay experiment.
