The neutrino mass hierarchy, i.e., whether the $\nu_3$ neutrino mass eigenstate is heavier or lighter than the $\nu_1$ and $\nu_2$ mass eigenstates, is one of the remaining undetermined fundamental features of the neutrino Standard Model.…
Tremendous progress has been achieved in neutrino oscillation physics during the last few years. However, the smallness of the $\t13$ neutrino mixing angle still remains enigmatic. The current best constraint comes from the CHOOZ reactor…

A charged lepton contribution to the solar neutrino mixing induces a contribution to theta_13, barring cancellations/correlations, which is independent of the model building options in the neutrino sector. We illustrate two robust arguments…

A neutrino mass matrix is considered under conditions of a CP invariance and a small reactor mixing $\theta_{13}$ angle. Absolute mass values for three neutrinos are evaluated for normal and inverted hierarchy spectra on the ground of data…
A very long baseline experiment, with $L/E$ of $1.6 \times 10^4$ m/MeV, has been proposed as the ideal means to measure $\theta_{13}$, including its sign, for neutrino energies less than 50 MeV. Higher energies require consideration of the…

Motivated by recent measurements which strongly support a nonzero reactor mixing angle $\theta_{13}$, we study a deviation from $S_3$ neutrino discrete symmetry by explicitly breaking the neutrino mass matrix with a general retrocirculant…
We propose to consider the possibility that the observed value of $\theta_{13}$ is not the result of a correction from an initially vanishing value, but rather the result of a correction from an initially larger value. As an explicit…
Several experiments have sought evidence for neutrino mass and mixing via the phenomenon of neutrino flavor oscillations. In a three neutrino model, these oscillations are described by three angles, two mass splittings, and one CP violating…
