The theory of neutrino oscillation predicts that if both neutrino and antineutrino coming from $Z_0$ decay are detected, one can observe an oscillation pattern between the corresponding detectors. This prediction is based on two properties;…
In the framework of the three-neutrino mixing the neutrino oscillations in the atmospheric and solar ranges of neutrino mass-squared differences are considered in the leading approximation. Neutrinoless double $\beta$- decay is also…
The deepest hole that has ever been dug is about 12 km deep. Geochemists analyze samples from the Earth's crust and from the top of the mantle. Seismology can reconstruct the density profile throughout all Earth, but not its composition. In…
Current neutrino oscillation data from solar, atmospheric, and reactor experiments are consistent with the neutrino mixing matrix elements taking values sin^2\theta_{12} = 1/3, sin^2\theta_{23} = 1/2, and sin^2\theta_{13}=0. We present a…
Deeper insight into the features of a reactor as a source of antineutrinos is required for making further advances in studying the fundamental properties of the neutrino. The relationship between the thermal power of a reactor and the rate…
Understanding the Earth s internal structure remains a major challenge, as traditional geophysical methods face ambiguities in linking seismic observations to temperature, composition, or mass density variations. Atmospheric neutrinos offer…
The physical interpretation of extensive measurements of electron neutrinos (in laboratories located on or somewhat below the Earth's surface) often require geophysical notions concerning the possible neutrino sources. Here, we discuss the…

We re-examine neutrino oscillations in exact parity models. Previously it was shown in a specific model that large neutrino mixing angles result. We show here that this is a general result of neutrino mixing in exact parity models provided…
