Abstract

We present results of a combined analysis in neutrino oscillations without unitarity assumption in the 3ν3\nu mixing picture. Constraints on neutrino mixing matrix elements are based on recent data from the reactor, solar and long-baseline accelerator neutrino oscillation experiments. The current data are consistent with the standard 3ν3\nu scheme. The precision on different matrix elements can be as good as a few percent at 3σ3\sigma CL, and is mainly limited by the experimental statistical uncertainty. The νe\nu_e related elements are the most precisely measured among all sectors with the uncertainties <20%<20\%. The measured leptonic CP violation is very close to the one assuming the standard 3ν3\nu mixing. The deviations on normalization and the unitarity triangle closure are confined within O(103)\mathcal{O}(10^{-3}), O(102)\mathcal{O}(10^{-2}) and O(101)\mathcal{O}(10^{-1}), for νe\nu_e, νμ\nu_{\mu} and ντ\nu_{\tau} sectors, respectively. We look forward to the next-generation neutrino oscillation experiments \textit{such as} DUNE, T2HK, and JUNO, especially the precise measurements on ντ\nu_\tau oscillations, to significantly improve the precision of unitarity test on the 3ν3\nu mixing matrix.
