FysiikkaThis thesis examines the prospects of future long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments. Using computer simulation techniques, we calculate the experimental sensitivities for two experimental configurations in a set of important questions which
are all relevant for modern day neutrino physics. First, we set focus on the determination of the θ23 octant, where the aim is to find whether the atmospheric neutrino
mixing angle θ23 lies in the high octant, θ23 > 45◦, or in the low octant, θ23 < 45◦.
On the other hand, we study how well the long baseline experiments could test
the limits of the Standard Model by seeking deviations from the oscillation patterns
that follow from the standard three-neutrino paradigm. As an example, we study so
called triplet Higgs bosons, which play a central role in the Type II seesaw mechanism, and calculate their effect on neutrino oscillations in the next generation long
baseline experiment DUNE

Long-baseline neutrino oscillation physics potential of the DUNE experiment
DUNE Collaboration (Springer, 2020)The sensitivity of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) to neutrino oscillation is determined, based on a full simulation, reconstruction, and event selection of the far detector and a full simulation and ... -
Effects of triplet Higgs bosons in long baseline neutrino experiments
Huitu, K.; Kärkkäinen, T. J.; Maalampi, Jukka; Vihonen, Sampsa (American Physical Society, 2018)The triplet scalars (Δ=Δ++, Δ+, Δ0) utilized in the so-called type-II seesaw model to explain the lightness of neutrinos, would generate nonstandard interactions (NSI) for a neutrino propagating in matter. We investigate ... -
Low exposure long-baseline neutrino oscillation sensitivity of the DUNE experiment
DUNE Collaboration (American Physical Society (APS), 2022)The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) will produce world-leading neutrino oscillation measurements over the lifetime of the experiment. In this work, we explore DUNE’s sensitivity to observe charge-parity violation ... -
Determination of the θ23 octant in long baseline neutrino experiments within and beyond the standard model
Das, C. R.; Pulido, João; Maalampi, Jukka; Vihonen, Sampsa (American Physical Society, 2018)The recent data indicate that the neutrino mixing angle θ 23 deviates from the maximal-mixing value of 45°, showing two nearly degenerate solutions, one in the lower octant (LO) ( θ 23 < 4 5 ° ) and one in the ... -
Optimizing the θ23 octant search in long baseline neutrino experiments
Das, C.R.; Maalampi, Jukka; Pulido, J.; Vihonen, Sampsa (Institute of Physics Publishing, 2017)Determination of the θ 23 octant will be an important goal for the next generation of neutrino oscillation experiments, as it will show whether the true value of θ 23 lies in the high octant, θ 23 > 45°, or in the low ...
