An empirical fit to electron-nucleus scattering for $A>2$ is made based on world data. It is valid for $0<W<3.2$ GeV and $0.2<Q^2<5$ GeV$^2$, and can be used with caution at lower $Q^2$. The fit is based on previous empirical fits to…

Neutrino-nucleus scattering cross sections are critical theoretical inputs for long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments. However, robust modeling of these cross sections remains challenging. For a simple but physically motivated toy…
As measurements of neutrino mixing angles continue to become more precise, it is increasingly likely that in the very near future a realistic neutrino mixing model will be required to precisely reproduce their best-fit values. In this…

In T2K $\nu_{\mu} \rightarrow \nu_{e}$ oscillation analyses, electron neutrinos are the signal at the far detector. For the beam peak energy, $\sim 0.6 \,$GeV, charged current quasi-elastic (CCQE) neutrino interactions dominate. Here we use…
We introduce a small correction term, \delta M_\nu, in the neutrino sector and examine whether a large \theta_13 and an almost maximal \theta_23 can simultaneously be obtained starting from the tri-bimaximal neutrino mixing. It is found…
Thank to the stable operation at intense beam power, T2K data with neutrino-mode operation almost doubled in one year. A number of critical improvements to the oscillation analysis have been introduced and resulted in an unprecedented level…
The apparent attenuation of muon neutrinos relative to electron neutrinos is a bit too low to be compatible with the most popular values of $\Delta m^{2}$. Fits to $R(E_{\nu})$ favor values of $\Delta m^{2}>0.1$ eV$^{2}$. The fit minimized…
We present a model of neutrino mixing based on the flavour group $\Delta(27)$ in order to account for the observation of a non-zero reactor mixing angle ($\theta_{13}$). The model provides a common flavour structure for the charged-lepton…
A precise measurement of the atmospheric mass-squared splitting |\Delta m^2_{\mu\mu}| is crucial to establish the three-flavor paradigm and to constrain the neutrino mass models. In addition, a precise value of |\Delta m^2_{\mu\mu}| will…

Data on neutrino oscillation often involve reconstructed neutrino energies while the analysis implies the real neutrino energy. The corrections corresponding to the transformation from real to reconstructed energy are discussed in the case…
