dc.description.abstractWe propose a unitarity method for determining tau neutrino appearance probability P(nu mu -> nu tau) in longbaseline (LBL) accelerator experiments and atmospheric neutrino observations. When simultaneous in situ measurements of P(nu mu -> nu mu) and P(nu mu -> nu e) proceed, as is typical in the LBL experiments, one can use unitarity to "measure" P(nu mu -> nu tau). A theorists' toy analysis for the model-independent determination of P(nu mu -> nu mu) and P(nu mu -> nu e) is presented by using the NOvA data. It is shown in our analysis that less than or similar to 5% (8%) measurement of tau neutrino appearance probability in neutrino (antineutrino) mode is possible in the peak region 1.5 less than or similar to E nu less than or similar to 2.5 GeV. The nu SM-independent nature of determination of the probabilities is emphasized.en
dc.description.notesWe thank Alex Himmel and Mark Messier for very informative correspondences on the NOvA experiments with many helpful suggestions without which we were not able to reach our analysis framework in its current form. We are benefited by useful communications with Pedro Machado, Kimihiro Okumura, and Masashi Yokoyama.
