Recent data from neutrino experiments gives intriguing hints about the mass ordering, the CP violating phase and non-maximal atmospheric mixing. There seems to be a (one sigma) preference for a normal ordered (NO) neutrino mass pattern,…

We identify three independent two-fold parameter degeneracies (\delta, \theta_{13}), sgn(\delta m^2_{31}) and (\theta_{23}, \pi/2-\theta_{23}) inherent in the usual three-neutrino analysis of long-baseline neutrino experiments, which can…
In 2004, two of us proposed a texture, the "Simplest" neutrino mass matrix, which predicted sin(theta13)=sqrt((2 Solar-Delta m^2)/(3 Atm-Delta m^2)) and delta_CP=90 degrees. Using today's measured values for neutrino mass-squared…
We propose a statistical formulation to estimate possible errors in long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments caused by uncertainties in the Earth matter density. A quantitative investigation of the effect is made on the CP asymmetry…
