ν_μ and ν_τ elastic scattering in Borexino
arxiv(2024)
摘要
We perform a detailed study of neutrino-electron elastic scattering using the
mono-energetic ^7Be neutrinos in Borexino, with an emphasis on exploring
the differences between the contributions of ν_e, ν_μ, and
ν_τ. We find that current data are capable of measuring these components
such that the contributions from ν_μ and ν_τ cannot be zero,
although distinguishing between them is challenging – the differences stemming
from Standard Model radiative corrections are insufficient without
significantly more precise measurements. In studying these components, we
compare predicted neutrino-electron scattering event rates within the Standard
Model (accounting for neutrino oscillations), as well as going beyond the
Standard Model in two ways. We allow for non-unitary evolution to modify
neutrino oscillations, and find that with a larger exposure (∼30x),
Borexino may provide relevant information for constraining non-unitarity, and
that JUNO may be able to accomplish this with its data collection of ^7Be
neutrinos. We also consider novel ν_μ- and ν_τ-electron scattering
from a gauged U(1)_L_μ - L_τ model, showing consistency with previous
analyses of Borexino and this scenario, but also demonstrating the impact of
uncertainties on Standard Model mixing parameters on these results.
