高能物理未来发展的基本思路
• High energy accelerators
– 积极参加国际合作
• High intensity accelerators
– 充分利用BESIII，取得国际一流的成果
– 寻机建造下一代加速器
• Underground experiments
– 充分利用大亚湾，取得国际一流的成果
– 准备建造下一代中微子实验
– 寻机建造新的实验：暗物质、bb decay、质子衰变、。。。
• Surface experiments
– 充分利用ASg & ARGO，取得国际一流的成果
– 积极准备建设LHAASO
• Space experiments
– 尽快完成HXMT，取得国际一流的成果
– 寻机建造新的实验：宇宙线、天体物理、暗物质、。。。
时间安排
• 十二五
– 前期建设的丰收期  取得重大国际影响的成果
– 基础能力建设
 达到国际先进水平
– 未来项目的准备与预研  具有国际竞争力
• 十三五 ：重要的建设项目
– 下一代中微子实验：大亚湾二期
– 地下实验：暗物质、bb decay、质子衰变、。。。
– 空间实验：宇宙线、天体物理、暗物质、。。。
• 十四五：重大建设项目
– 下一代加速器
每个新项目必须回答以下问题：
1）为什么（与其它可能的项目比较：科学目标、经费。。。）
2）怎么做（概念设计、国际竞争力、科学意义、经费、技术、进度、风
险。。。）
3）R&D（问题、技术、方案、计划。。。）

Neutrino oscillations:
What we know and what we don’t know
• A mixing matrix:
Atmospheric
CP phase & q13
Solar
Majorana phase
• Unknowns in neutrino oscillation:
–
q13 , mass hierarchy, CP phase d + Majorana phase
下一代中微子实验：大亚湾二期
• 中微子振荡：中微子研究的中心
• 中微子振荡三个未解决的问题：
寻找第三种振荡，用q13表示
质量顺序问题
CP对称破缺角
q12太阳中微子振荡
q23大气中微子振荡

为什么反应堆中微子：
1）加速器中微子实验：造价昂贵 （探测器+加速器）
2）双β实验：造价昂贵，技术困难，风险巨大
3）中微子绝对质量测量：造价昂贵，技术困难
4）反应堆中微子实验：意义重大、风险小、条件优越、造价低、技术可行
测量磁矩：可能的未来，科学风险大
精确测量混合参数：大亚湾、大亚湾二期
Best neutrino source: reactor
• A powerful man-made source
– If not too far, more powerful than solar, atmospheric,
and accelerator neutrinos
• A well understood source（~2%  ~ 0.1%）
– Better than solar(~5-10%), atmospheric(~10%), and
accelerator(~5-10%  2-3% ??) neutrinos
• Adjustable baseline
– Of course, accelerator can do it also
• A free neutrino factory
Neutrino Mass hierarchy
• Mass Hierarchy:
• Fundamental to the Standard Model
• Fundamental to models beyond SM
• Most GUTs predict a normal mass hierarchy  a discriminator of
different GUTs and/or neutrino mass models
• Fundamental to many issues:
– Matter-antimatter asymmetry via leptogenesis in specific seesaw models:
hierarchy related
– Supernova neutrinos: collective flavor transitions due to inverted mass
hierarchy
– Radiative corrections to mn and qij are more sensitive to the inverted
hierarchy
But even more important…
Dirac or Majorana ?
• Neutrino oscillation:
beyond SM in a way of
Dirac or Majorana mode ?
• bb exp. may never give
positive results
• If mass hierarchy is
known, together with next
generation bb exp., the
neutrino Dirac or
Majorana nature can be
determined.
next gen.
bb exp.
Measuring mass hierarchy
• Long baseline accelerator neutrinos
– Through Matter effects
– Expensive, project-X/LBNE in Fermilab/BNL
• Atmospheric neutrinos
– Very weak signal
– Huge detector, Expensive
• Reactor neutrinos
S.T. Petcov et al., PLB533(2002)94
S.Choubey et al., PRD68(2003)113006
– Method: distortion of energy spectrum
– Enhance signature: Transform reactor
neutrino L/E spectrum to frequency regime
using Fourier formalism
• need Sin2(2q13) > 0.02
• Need to know DM223
J. Learned,
PRD 78(2008)071302
Fourier transformation of L/E spectrum
• Frequency regime is in fact the
DM2 regime  enhance the
visible features in DM2 regime
• Take DM2 32 as reference
– NH: DM2 31 > DM2 32 , DM2 31
peak at the right of DM2 32
– IH: DM2 31 < DM2 32 , DM2 31
peak at the left of DM2 32
L/E spectrum
12
Our efforts
• Clear distinctive features:
– FCT:
•
•
NH: peak before valley
IH: valley before peak
– FST:
•
•
NH: prominent peak
IH: prominent valley
• Better than power spectrum
• No pre-condition of Dm223
L. Zhan et al., PRD78:111103,2008
13
Quantify Features of FCT and FST
• To quantify the symmetry
breaking, we define:
RV/LV: amplitude of the right/left valley
in FCT
P/V: amplitude of the peak/valley in FST
• For asymmetric Pee
– NH: RL>0 and PV>0
– IH: RL<0 and PV<0
Two clusters of RL and PV values
show the sensitivity of mass
hierarchy determination

In reality
Unfortunately,

Reactor power > 24 GWth
Flux and detector size: ~ (250-700) ktyear
Ideally, sin22q13 > 0.02 & energy resolution < 2%

If we can spend (0.1-0.5)B$ for each B/C/superB factories to
understand UCKM (~ 1-2 elements for each factory), why not a superreactor neutrino experiment(~ 3 elements) to understand UPMNS ?
