Resumo:
In this thesis we will study a novel method to measure the leptonic CP violation phase, CP , in an experimental set up called LiquidO, and the possibility by the future experiment Hyper-Kamiokande to put a limit on the neutrino lifetime. Both experiment are accelerator based ones that will use the well established neutrino flavour oscillation phenomenon to perform their measurement. The first experimental set up uses two new features: firstly it uses as a source a flux of Vμ and Vμ coming from pions (pi+) decay at rest with a baseline of 16 km and secondly it uses a new detection method. This new detection is performed using opaque Liquid Scintillator (LS) with optical fibers that allows e+ e- identification. We will discuss the phenomenological main characteristics of this set up and we will calculate the expected significance to exclude the δ CP = (0, pi) hypothesis, the 1δ precision of the CP measurement and also the expected allowed regions in the sin2 023 - δ CP plane. For what it concerns the second part of our work, we will focus on the Hyper-Kamiokande experiment, upgrade of the 2015 Nobel prize awarded Super-Kamiokande. This is a water Cherenkov detector that will use a Vμ (Vμ) flux with a typical neutrino energy < 10 GeV coming from the JPARC facility with a baseline of 295 km. We will call this source-detector configuration T2HK to distinguish T2HKK, the possible extension of this experiment in Korea that will use the same beam but it will be located at 1100 km from the source. We will briefly introduce the neutrino decay mode that can be classified in two types: one is what is called invisible decay , i.e. when neutrino decays into a sterile neutrino state plus a scalar particle, and the other is called visible decay, i.e. when neutrino decays into an active mass eigenstate plus a scalar particle. We will calculate the limit on the V3 lifetime for the invisible and the visible case for both configurations T2HK and T2HKK.
