The T2K international research collaborative collaboration, which includes Osaka City University High Energy Physics Laboratory, has successfully excluded nearly half of the possible values for the neutrino CP phase angle \u03b4CP<\/sub> at a statistical confidence level of 3\u03c3. As previously introduced in the High Energy Physics Laboratory News “Measurement of the Neutrino CP Phase Angle<\/a>,” CP symmetry breaking is a crucial condition for explaining the current matter dominated universe. There is an increasing possibility that CP symmetry breaking in the neutrino sector also contributes to this phenomenon.<\/p>\n

The results this time are based on statistical data of 1.49\u00d710\u00b2\u00b9 POT for the neutrino mode and 1.64\u00d710\u00b2\u00b9 POT for the antineutrino mode. Compared to previous announcements, the data for the antineutrino mode has doubled. Along with this, the precision of each oscillation parameter has been improved, not only \u03b4CP<\/sub>. We’ll start by introducing those improvements.<\/p>\n

In the phenomenon of muon neutrino disappearance, Figure 1 shows the reconstructed energy distribution of muon neutrinos and anti-muon neutrinos obtained at Super-Kamiokande. When compared to the case without oscillation, the disappearance phenomenon of muon neutrinos due to oscillation is clearly seen around 0.6 GeV. The value of \u03b823<\/sub> can be obtained from the magnitude of the disappearance, and \\(\\varDelta m^2_{32}\\) can be obtained from the energy at which the disappearance is maximum.\u00a0 Figure 2 shows the situation for the neutrino normal mass hierarchy. The best fit values and errors are \\(\\sin^2\u03b8_{23}=0.536^{+0.031}_{-0.046}\\)\uff0c\\(|\\varDelta m^2_{32}|=(2.434 \\pm 0.064)\u00d710^{-3}\\)<\/p>\n

Values obtained from other experiments are also illustrated, but the T2K experiment provides the most precise measurement of \u03b823<\/sub> in the world.<\/p>\n

Regarding the phenomenon of electron neutrino appearance, Figure 3 shows the reconstructed energy distribution. With the increase in antineutrino mode data, the number of anti-electron neutrino appearance events has increased compared to the previous result. From this data, the value of \u03b813<\/sub> is obtained as \\(\\sin^2\\theta_{13}=0.0268^{+0.0051}_{-0.0046}\\)\u200b for the neutrino normal mass hierarchy and \\(\\sin^2\\theta_{13}=0.0305^{+0.0064}_{-0.0052}\\) \u200bfor the inverted mass hierarchy.<\/p>\n

The white dotted line shows the 1\u03c3(68.27%) confidence level, and the white solid line corresponds to the 3\u03c3 (99.73%) confidence level.<\/p><\/div>\n

Now, let’s move on to the measurement of \u03b4CP<\/sub>. This is obtained from the asymmetry of the oscillation probabilities of \\(\\nu_{\\mu}\\rightarrow\\nu_e\\)\u200b and \\(\\bar{\\nu}_{\\mu}\\rightarrow\\bar{\\nu}_e\\) as follows:
\n\\[ \\sin\\delta_{CP} \\propto \\frac{P(\\nu_{\\mu}\\rightarrow\\nu_{e}) – P(\\bar{\\nu}_{\\mu}\\rightarrow\\bar{\\nu}_{e})}{P(\\nu_{\\mu}\\rightarrow\\nu_{e}) + P(\\bar{\\nu}_{\\mu}\\rightarrow\\bar{\\nu}_{e}) }\\] \u200b Figure 4 illustrates the results. Particularly, the middle plot shows sin\u00b2\u03b823<\/sub> and \u03b4CP<\/sub>. The region inside the white dotted line represents the 1\u03c3 (68.27%) confidence level, and the region inside the white solid line represents the 3\u03c3 (99.73%) confidence level. The best fit values are \\(-1.89^{+0.70}_{-0.58}\\) for the normal mass hierarchy and \\(-1.38^{+0.48}_{-0.54}\\) for the inverted mass hierarchy, with the 3\u03c3 allowed regions being [-3.41, 0.03] for the normal mass hierarchy and [-2.54, -0.32] for the inverted mass hierarchy. This is the first time in the world that a closed region has been obtained at the 3\u03c3 confidence level, which is considered an important research achievement. Additionally, since the CP symmetry breaking of neutrinos is proportional to sin\u03b4CP<\/sub>, it is noteworthy that the value of \u03b4CP<\/sub> is close to -\u03c0\/2, indicating the possibility of maximum breaking. With more data to be collected in the future, the focus will be on where the value of \u03b4CP<\/sub> will settle.<\/p>\n
