If the lepton mixing angle theta_{23} is not maximal, there arises a problem of ambiguity in determining theta_{23} due to the existence of two degenerate solutions, one in the first and the other in the second octant. We discuss an…
We notice that looking for $\nu_e \to \nu_\tau$ at the same time as $\nu_e \to \nu_\mu$ oscillations could significantly help to reduce the errors in the leptonic CP-violating phase $\delta$ measurement. We show how the $\nu_e \to \nu_\mu$…
We update a recent work devoted to resolve the degeneracies that appear in the simultaneous extraction of $\theta_{13}$ and $\delta$ at future Neutrino Factories (NF, that exploit the \emph{golden} channels, i.e. $\nu_e\to\nu_\mu$…
We deepen the study of the so-called ``silver channel'' $\nu_e \to \nu_\tau$ \cite{Donini:2002rm} and of its relevance to solve some of the ambiguities that can arise in the simultaneous measurement of $(\theta_{13},\delta)$ at the Neutrino…
The platinum channel (\nu_e or anti-\nu_e appearance) has been proposed at neutrino factories as an additional channel that could help in lifting degeneracies and improving sensitivities to neutrino oscillation parameters, viz.,…
I briefly review the source of the so-called intrinsic ambiguity and show how the combination of ``golden'' and ``silver'' channel at the Neutrino Factory can solve the problem, in the absence of other sources of degeneracies. I then…
We present a Neutrino-Factory-based setup with three detectors of different kind in principle capable to solve the eightfold-degeneracy in the simultaneous measurement of $\theta_{13}$ and $\delta$, for $\theta_{13} \geq 1^\circ (\sin^2 (2…

Results from the experiments like LSND, and MiniBooNE hint towards the possible presence of an extra eV scale sterile neutrino. The addition of such a neutrino will significantly impact the standard three flavour neutrino oscillations; in…
A conceptual scheme of a hybrid-emulsion spectrometer for investigating various channels of neutrino oscillations is proposed. The design emphasizes detection of $\tau$ leptons by detached vertices, reliable identification of electrons, and…
The low energy neutrino factory has been proposed as a very sensitive setup for future searches for CP violation and matter effects. Here we study how its performance is affected when the experimental specifications of the setup are varied.…
Precision measurement of the leptonic CP violating phase $\delta$ will suffer from the, then surviving, large uncertainty of sin^2 \theta_{23} of 10-20% in the experimentally interesting region near maximal mixing of \theta_{23}. We…
It is known that there is a phenomenon called "parameter degeneracy" in neutrino oscillation measurement of lepton mixing parameters; A set of the oscillation probabilities, e.g., P(nu_mu --> nu_e) and its CP-conjugate P(bar{nu}_mu -->…
We study the potential of a Neutrino Factory in constraining the parameter space of a scheme with one sterile neutrino separated from three active ones by an O(1) eV^2, mass-squared difference. We present approximated analytic expressions…
In the context of neutrino factories, we review the solution of the degeneracies in the neutrino oscillation parameters. In particular, we have set limits to $\sin^2 2\theta_{13}$ in order to accomplish the unambiguous determination of…

We study the $\nu_\mu$ disappearance channel at T2K-phase I and the SPL and analyse the achievable reduction of present uncertainties in $\theta_{23}$ and $\Delta m^2_{23}$. We analyse the impact of discrete ambiguities in sign($\Delta…
If the atmospheric neutrino oscillation amplitude, sin^2 2theta_atm is not maximal, there is a two fold ambiguity in the neutrino parameter space: sin^2 theta_atm>0.5 or sin^2 theta_atm<0.5. In this article, we study the impact of this…
The presence of several clone solutions in the simultaneous measurement of ($\theta_{13},\delta$) has been widely discussed in literature. Here, after a pedagogical introduction on why these clones arise, we discuss how the clones location…
