Three-flavour neutrino oscillation update

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2010-02-11 v3 Astrophysics High Energy Physics - Experiment

Abstract

We review the present status of three-flavour neutrino oscillations, taking into account the latest available neutrino oscillation data presented at the Neutrino 2008 Conference. This includes the data released this summer by the MINOS collaboration, the data of the neutral current counter phase of the SNO solar neutrino experiment, as well as the latest KamLAND and Borexino data. We give the updated determinations of the leading 'solar' and 'atmospheric' oscillation parameters. We find from global data that the mixing angle θ13\theta_{13} is consistent with zero within 0.9σ0.9\sigma and we derive an upper bound of sin2θ13<0.035(0.056)\sin^2\theta_{13} < 0.035 (0.056) at 90% CL (3σ\sigma).

17 pages, 7 figures. An appendix is added providing three-neutrino parameter determinations as of February 2010. We include all oscillation data, such as the first MINOS electron neutrino appearance data, the low energy threshold analysis given by the SNO Collaboration, as well as recently updated Standard Solar Models
