Superbeam experiments can, in principle, achieve impressive sensitivities for CP violation in neutrino oscillations for large $\theta_{13}$. We study how those sensitivities depend on assumptions about systematical uncertainties. We focus…
We propose a new relation between quark mixing matrix and lepton mixing matrix. Since the parameters in the quark sector are well determined, we employ them to describe the mixing of leptons. Phenomenologically, we study the neutrino…
