The LSND result is shown to fit into a minimal three-flavour neutrino-mixing scenario capable of describing all known experimental facts provided the large Delta M^2 = m_3^2 - m_2^2 \sim m_3^2 - m_1^2 lies in the range 2.5 x 10^{-1} < Delta…
We present a global analysis of neutrino oscillation data within the three-neutrino oscillation scheme, including in our fit all the current solar neutrino data, the reactor neutrino data from KamLAND and CHOOZ, the atmospheric neutrino…
We present a thought experiment that involves a high sensitivity balance initially in a state of mechanical equilibrium but not in a state of thermal equilibrium. After reaching the state of thermal equilibrium it is no longer in a state of…
Deviations from the so-called {\it cosmic distance duality relation} may result from systematic errors in distance measurements or, more interestingly, hint at new physics. Further, it can also be related to the Hubble constant tension…
Quantum Monte Carlo is used to investigate the possibility of d_{x^2-y^2} superconductivity in the two-dimensional repulsive Hubbard model. A small energy scale relevant to possible pairing requires a care (i.e., sufficiently small level…
Earth matter density uncertainties play a non trivial role in three flavor neutrino oscillations in matter, particularly for the muon to electron appearance channel that underpins CP violation measurements in long baseline experiments. We…

I discuss the possibility of estimating the shift $\delta\Delta\alpha(M_Z^2)$ on the running of the EM-coupling to the $M_Z$ scale, induced by the discrepancy $\Delta a_{\mu}$ between two precise determinations of the hadronic vacuum…
This paper discusses recent results and near-term prospects of the long-baseline neutrino experiments MINOS, MINOS+, T2K and NOvA. The non-zero value of the third neutrino mixing angle {\theta}13 allows experimental analysis in a manner…
The Cervera et al. formula, the best known approximate formula of neutrino oscillation probability for long-baseline experiments, can be regarded as a second-order perturbative formula with small expansion parameter epsilon \equiv Delta…
Assuming that there is a sterile neutrino, we ask what then is the ability of long-baseline experiments to i) establish that neutrino oscillation violates CP, ii) determine the three-neutrino mass ordering, and iii) determine which…
A summary of the parameter degeneracy issue for long baseline neutrino oscillations is presented and how a sequence of measurements can be used to resolve all degeneracies. Next, a comparison of the JHF and NuMI Off-Axis proposals is made…
Several perspectives that can be opened by studying the electroexcitation of the delta via parity-violating electron scattering from nuclei are examined, working within the context of the relativistic Fermi gas model. A strong enhancement…

Many facets of nonclassicality are probed in neutrino system in the context of three flavour neutrino oscillations. The analysis is carried out for parameters relevant to two ongoing experiments NO$\nu$A and T2K, and also for the upcoming…
We calculate matter effects on neutrino oscillations relevant for long baseline experiments. In particular, we compare the results obtained with constant density along the neutrino path versus results obtained by incorporating the actual…
New physics beyond the Standard Model can lead to extra matter effects on neutrino oscillation if the new interactions distinguish among the three flavors of neutrino. In a previous paper, we argued that a long-baseline neutrino oscillation…
Long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments require external constraints on $\sin^2\theta_{12}$ and $\Delta m_{21}^2$ to make precision measurements of the leptonic mixing matrix. These constraints come from measurements of the…
