Neutrino oscillations, as recently reported by the Super-Kamiokande collaboration, imply that lepton numbers could be violated, and $\tau^{\pm}\to \mu^{\pm}+\ell^{+}+\ell^{-},\tau^{\pm}\to\mu^{\pm}+\rho^0$ are some typical examples. We…
It is shown that the $\nu_2 \to \nu_{e}$ and $\nu_{\mu} \to \nu_{e}$ ($\nu_e \to \nu_{\mu (\tau)}$) transitions respectively of the solar and atmospheric neutrinos in the Earth in the case of $\nu_e - \nu_{\mu (\tau)}$ mixing in vacuum, are…
Dark photons coupling to $L_\mu-L_\tau$ lepton number difference are a highly studied light dark matter candidate, with potential to be discovered through their impact on terrestrial neutrino oscillation experiments. We re-examine this in…
Non-Standard neutral current Interactions (NSIs) of neutrinos with matter can alter the pattern of neutrino oscillation due to the coherent forward scattering of neutrinos on the medium. This effect makes long-baseline neutrino experiments…
If the atmospheric and the solar neutrino problem are both explained by neutrino oscillations, and if there are only three light neutrinos, then all mass-squared differences between the neutrinos are known. In such a case, existing…
