DUNE'S SOLAR NEUTRINO OSCILLATION SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS

Introduction

  • Solar neutrinos are produced in the core of the Sun by nuclear fusion reactions.
  • The neutrinos are detected on Earth by neutrino detectors such as DUNE.
  • DUNE is sensitive to the neutrino energy spectrum in the range of 1-20 MeV.
  • The neutrino energy spectrum is affected by neutrino oscillations.

Objectives

  • To determine the sensitivity of DUNE to the neutrino oscillation parameters $\Delta m^{2}{21}$, $\theta{12}$ and $\theta_{13}$.
  • To evaluate the impact of the solar neutrino flux uncertainties on the sensitivity analysis.
  • To determine the sensitivity of DUNE to the neutrino oscillation parameters in the presence of systematic uncertainties.
  • To evaluate the impact of the solar neutrino flux uncertainties on the sensitivity analysis in the presence of systematic uncertainties.
