摘要
Neutrinos are allowed to mix and to oscillate among their flavor. Muon and tau in particular oscillate at largest values. Last Minos experiment claimed MINOS Collaboration 1121 possible difference among their matter and anti-matter masses, leading to a first violation of the most believed CPT symmetry. Isotropically born atmospheric muon neutrino at E-v mu similar or equal to 20-80 GeV, while upgoing, they might be partially suppressed by mixing in analogy to historical SuperKamiokande muon neutrino disappearance into tau, leading to large-scale anisotropy signals. Here, we show an independent muon rate foreseen in Deep Core based on observed SK signals extrapolated to Deep Core mass and its surrounding. Our rate prediction partially differ from previous ones. The nu(mu), (nu) over bar (mu) disappearance into nu(tau), (nu) over bar (tau) is leading to a mu, (mu) over bar anisotropy in vertical upgoing muon track: in particular along channel 3-5 we expect a huge rate (nearly ten thousand of events) of neutral current events, charged current electron and inclined crossing muons. Moreover, at channel 6-9 we expect a severe suppression of the rate due to muon disappearance (in CPT conserved frame). A CPT violation may induce a suppression of vertical upgoing tracks because of larger (nu) over tilde (mu) reduction for E-(nu) over bar mu >= 35 GeV, corresponding to channel 9-10, and an amplified rate of events between channels 4-5-6.
