Cosmogenic neutrinos and gamma rays

We describe the photoproduction interactions of ultrahigh energy protons on the universal photon backgrounds and the production of very high-energy neutrinos and γ-rays in such interactions. We compare the production in propagation in the microwave background to that in the extragalactic background light. The propagation of heavy nuclei is discussed only briefly. We show the extreme models for cosmogenic neutrino production and the limits set on them by different experiments.     

Gaussian modification of neutrino energy loss on strongly screening nuclides ~（55）Co and ~（56）Ni by electron capture in stellar interior

Gaussian modifications of the neutrino energy loss (NEL) by electron capture on the strongly screening nuclides ⁵⁵Co and ⁵⁶Ni are investigated. The results show that in strong electron screening (SES), the NEL rates decrease without modifying the Gamow-Teller (G-T) resonance transition. For instance, the NEL rates of ⁵⁵Co and ⁵⁶Ni decrease more than two and three orders of magnitude for ρ₇=5.86, T₉≤5, Y_e=0.47, Δ=6.3, respectively. In contrast, due to Gaussian modification, the NEL rates increase about two orders of magnitude in SES. Due to SES, the maximum values of the C-factor (in %) on NEL of ⁵⁵Co, ⁵⁶Ni are of the order of 99.80%, 99.56% at ρ₇=5.86 Y_e=0.47 and 99.60%, 99.65% at ρ₇=106 Y_e=0.43, respectively.     

Neutrino masses and lepton-flavor-violating τ decays in the supersymmetric left-right model

In the supersymmetric left-right model, the light neutrino masses are given by the Type-Ⅱ seesaw mechanism. A duality property of this mechanism indicates that there exist eight possible Higgs triplet Yukawa couplings which result in the same neutrino mass matrix. In this paper, we work out the one-loop renormalization group equations for the effective neutrino mass matrix in the supersymmetric left-right model. The stability of the Type-Ⅱ seesaw scenario is briefly discussed. We also study the lepton-flavor-violating processes (τ→ μγ and τ→eγ) by using the reconstructed Higgs triplet Yukawa couplings.     

Nuclear responses for double-beta decays by hadron, photon, and neutrino probes and MOON experiment

Neutrino-less double-beta decays (0νββ) with the mass sensitivities of the solar and atmospheric ν masses are of great interest for studying the Majorana nature of neutrinos and the absolute mass spectrum as suggested by recent ν oscillation experiments. Here nuclear responses (nuclear matrix elements) for 0νββ are crucial. They are well studied experimentally by using charge-exchange, photo-nuclear and neutrino reactions. MOON(Mo Observatory Of Neutrinos) is a high sensitivity 0νβ β experiment with the mass sensitivity of an order of 30 meV. Experimental studies of the nuclear responses and the present status of MOON are briefly discussed. Presented by the author at the Workshop on calculation of double-beta-decay matrix elements (MEDEX’05), Corfu, Greece, September 26–29, 2005.     

Neutrinos and the Weak Interactions

We show that neutrinos and electrons share the same theoretical structure and satisfy parallel relations particularly of the Large Number kind. We then argue that the neutrino can be described as a “cold” electron in a sense that is detailed, and thereby the weak interactions are indeed a weak form of electromagnetism.     

Solar neutrino oscillation phenomenology

This article summarises the status of the solar neutrino oscillation phenomenology at the end of 2002 in the light of the SNO and KamLAND results. We first present the allowed areas obtained from global solar analysis and demonstrate the preference of the solar data towards the large-mixing-angle (LMA) MSW solution. A clear confirmation in favour of the LMA solution comes from the KamLAND reactor neutrino data. The KamLAND spectral data in conjunction with the global solar data further narrows down the allowed LMA region and splits it into two allowed zones a low Δm ² region (low-LMA) and high Δm ² region (high-LMA). We demonstrate through a projected analysis that with an exposure of 3 kton-year (kTy) KamLAND can remove this ambiguity.
