The measurement of a non-zero value of the 1-3 mixing angle has paved the way for the determination of leptonic CP violation. However the current generation long-baseline experiments T2K and NOvA have limited sensitivity to delta_{CP}. In…
The question "how small is the lepton mixing angle \theta_{13}?" had a convincing answer in a surprisingly short time, \theta_{13} \simeq 9^{\circ}, a large value comparable to the Chooz limit. It defines a new epoch in the program of…
We examine the reach of a Beta-beam experiment with two detectors at carefully chosen baselines for exploring neutrino mass parameters. Locating the source at CERN, the two detectors and baselines are: (a) a 50 kton iron calorimeter (ICAL)…
In the current 3nu paradigm, flavor oscillations probe 3 mixing angles (theta_12, theta_23, theta_13), one CP phase delta, and two squared mass differences delta m^2>0 and Delta m^2, where sign(Delta m^2)=+ (-) for normal (inverted)…
If the atmospheric neutrino oscillation amplitude, sin^2 2theta_atm is not maximal, there is a two fold ambiguity in the neutrino parameter space: sin^2 theta_atm>0.5 or sin^2 theta_atm<0.5. In this article, we study the impact of this…
The discovery of leptonic CP violation is one of the primary goals of next-generation neutrino oscillation experiments, which is feasible due to the recent measurement of a relatively large leptonic mixing angle \theta_{13}. We suggest two…
