Numerical studies on neutrino oscillation physics in long baseline experiments
This 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

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 ... -

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 ... -
