摘要: We update the cosmological parameter estimation for three non-vanilla models by a joint analysis of CCCP X-ray cluster, the newly released Planck CMB data as well as some external data sets, such as baryon acoustic oscillation measurements from the 6dFGS, SDSS DR7 and BOSS DR9 surveys, and Hubble Space Telescope H0 measurement. First of all, we nd that X-ray cluster data sets strongly favor a non-zero summed neutrino mass at more than 3 con dence level in these non-vanilla models. And then, we reveal some tensions between X-ray cluster and Planck data in some cosmological parameters. For the matter power spectrum amplitude 8, X-ray cluster data favor a lower value compared with Planck. Because P of the strong 8 m degeneracy, this tension could beyond 2 con dence level when the P summed neutrino mass m is allowed to vary. For the CMB lensing amplitude AL, the addition of X-ray cluster data results in a 3 deviation from the vanilla model. Furthermore, Planck+X-ray data prefer a large Hubble constant and phantom-like dark energy equation of state, which are in 2 tension with those from WMAP7+X-ray data. Finally, we nd that these tensions/descrepencies could be relaxed in some sense by adding a 9% systematic shift in the cluster mass functions.

摘要: We has set up a light scattering spectrometer to study the depolarization of light scattering in linear alkylbenzene. From the scattering spectra it can be unambiguously shown that the depolarized part of light scattering belongs to Rayleigh scattering. The additional depolarized Rayleigh scattering can make the effective transparency of linear alkylbenzene much better than it was expected. Therefore sufficient scintillation photons can transmit through the large liquid scintillator detector of JUNO. Our study is crucial to achieving the unprecedented energy resolution 3\%/E(MeV)−−−−−−−√ for JUNO experiment to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy. The spectroscopic method can also be used to judge the attribution of the depolarization of other organic solvents used in neutrino experiments.

摘要: Behind the observed pattern of lepton flavor mixing is a partial or approximate mu-tau flavor symmetry --- a milestone on our road to the true origin of neutrino masses and flavor structures. In this review article we first describe the features of mu-tau permutation and reflection symmetries, and then explore their various consequences on model building and neutrino phenomenology. We pay particular attention to soft mu-tau symmetry breaking, which is crucial for our deeper understanding of the fine effects of flavor mixing and CP violation.

摘要: We examine the prospects of making a joint analysis of neutrino oscillation at two baselines with neutrino superbeams. Assuming narrow band superbeams and a 100 kt water Cerenkov calorimeter, we calculate the event rates and sensitivities to the matter ef

摘要: The maximal U(1)LU(1)LU(1)_L supersymmetric inverse seesaw mechanism (MLSIS) provides a natural way to relate asymmetric dark matter (ADM) with neutrino physics. In this paper we point out that MLSIS is a natural outcome if one dynamically realizes the in
