It is by now established that neutrinos mix, have (different) non-zero masses, and therefore oscillate. The oscillation parameters themselves, however, are not all well-known. An open problem is that of the neutrino mass hierarchy. We study…
We examine the possibility of determining the neutrino mass hierarchy in the limit \theta_{13} = 0 using atmospheric neutrinos as the source. In this limit, in which \theta_{13} driven matter effects are absent, independent measurements of…
Recent works combining neutrino oscillation and cosmological data to determine the neutrino hierarchy found a range of odds in favour of the normal hierarchy. These results arise from differing approaches to incorporating prior knowledge…
