Reviews of topical problems


Study of neutrino oscillations in long-baseline accelerator experiments


Institute for Nuclear Research, Russian Academy of Sciences, prosp. 60-letiya Oktyabrya 7a, Moscow, 117312, Russian Federation

A review of the title subject is given. The phenomenology of neutrino oscillations in the framework of the so-called neutrino Standard Model (νSM) with three active neutrinos is considered. The recently completed long-baseline accelerator experiment K2K and currently in-progress MINOS and OPERA experiments are described in detail. The oscillation parameters obtained from the global analysis of all oscillation data are given. The short-baseline experiment MiniBooNE and its results on the search for light sterile neutrinos are discussed in detail. Considerable attention is given to searching for νμ→νe oscillations and measuring the θ13 angle in muon neutrino experiments. The concept of the off-axis neutrino beam is reviewed. The T2K experiment, collecting statistics since early 2010, is described for its details and objectives. The NOνA experiment under construction and the next-generation beta beam and neutrino factory experiments are also discussed.
