Short baseline neutrino oscillations at a neutrino factory
/ Authors
/ Abstract
Within the framework of three-neutrino and four-neutrino scenarios that can describe the results of the LSND experiment, we consider the capabilities of short-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments at a neutrino factory. We find that, when short-baseline (L{approx}<100 km) neutrino factory measurements are used together with other accelerator-based oscillation results, the complete three-neutrino parameter space can best be determined by measuring the rate of {nu}{sub e}{yields}{nu}{sub {tau}} oscillations, and measuring CP violation with either {nu}{sub e}{yields}{nu}{sub {mu}} or {nu}{sub {mu}}{yields}{nu}{sub {tau}} oscillations (including the corresponding antineutrino channels). With measurements of CP violation in both {nu}{sub e}{yields}{nu}{sub {mu}} and {nu}{sub {mu}}{yields}{nu}{sub {tau}} it may be possible to distinguish between the three- and four-neutrino cases.
