Comprehensive Analysis of Neutrinos in SK part 3 -- L/E Analysis for Single Ring Muon Events II --

TL;DR

This paper analyzes various L/E distributions in Super-Kamiokande data to investigate neutrino oscillation signatures, concluding that maximum oscillation features are not detectable with current methods due to the neutral nature of neutrino path length.

Contribution

It provides a detailed analysis of L/E distributions in neutrino events, highlighting limitations in detecting maximum oscillation signatures in Super-Kamiokande data.

Findings

Maximum oscillation is not observable in L_mu/E_mu and L_mu/E_nu distributions.

Only L_nu/E_mu shows potential for maximum oscillation features, but remains undetectable.

Super-Kamiokande data cannot confirm the existence of maximum neutrino oscillation.

Abstract

Following the L_nu/E_nu analysis in the preceding paper of the Fully Contained Muon Events resulting from the quasi-elastic scattering obtained from our numerical computer experiment. In the present paper, we carry out the analyses of L_nu/E_mu, L_mu/E_nu and L_mu/E_mu among four possible combinations of L and E. As the result of it, we show that we can not find the characteristis of maximum oscillation for neutrino oscillation among two of three, L_mu/E_mu and L_mu/E_nu. Only the L_nu/E_mu distribution can show something like maximum oscillation, however it cannot be detected owing to the neutral character of L_nu. It is concluded that the Super-Kamiokande Experiment could not have found the existence of the maximum oscillation for neutrino oscillation.
