We study in detail the sensitivity of neutrino oscillation probabilities to the fundamental neutrino parameters and their possible determination through experiments. The first part of the paper is devoted to the broad theme of isolating…
Neutrino oscillation data indicate that $\theta_{23}$ is close to $\pi/4$ and $\theta_{13}$ is very small. A simple $\mu\leftrightarrow\tau$ exchange symmetry of the neutrino mass matrix predicts $\theta_{23}=-\pi/4$ and $\theta_{13}=0$.…
An attempt is made to explore the possibility for deviations of solar mixing angle ($\theta_{12}$) from tri-bimaximal mixings, without sacrificing the predictions of maximal atmospheric mixing angle ($\theta_{23}=\pi/4$) and zero reactor…
It is consistent with the measurement of \theta_13 ~ 0.15 by Daya Bay to suppose that, in addition to being unitary, the neutrino mixing matrix is also almost hermitian, and thereby only a small perturbation from diag(+1,-1,-1) in a…
The Daya Bay Collaboration has recently reported the precise measurement of $\theta_{13}\simeq 8.8^\circ \pm 0.8^\circ $ or $\theta_{13} \neq 0$ at 5.2 \sigma level. The observed non-zero $\theta_{13}$ can be accommodated by some general…
We perform an updated global analysis of the known and unknown parameters of the standard $3\nu$ framework as of 2025. The known oscillation parameters include three mixing angles $(\theta_{12},\,\theta_{23},\,\theta_{13})$ and two squared…
Here we update the global fit of neutrino oscillations in arXiv:1103.0734 and arXiv:1108.1376 including the recent measurements of reactor antineutrino disappearance reported by the Double Chooz, Daya Bay and RENO experiments, together with…
The Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment is designed to determine precisely the neutrino mixing angle $\theta_{13}$ with a sensitivity better than 0.01 in the parameter sin$^22\theta_{13}$ at the 90% confidence level. To achieve this goal,…
We discuss the precision determination of the leptonic Dirac CP phase $\delta_{CP}$ in neutrino oscillation experiments, where we apply the concept of ``CP coverage''. We demonstrate that this approach carries more information than a…
The T2K collaboration has recently reported their results, which gives the best-fit values of the atmospheric mixing angle $\sin^2 \theta_{23} = 0.53$ and the Dirac CP-violating phase $\delta = -1.89$ for normal neutrino mass ordering. We…
The T2K experiment reports updated measurements of neutrino and antineutrino oscillations using both appearance and disappearance channels. This result comes from an exposure of $14.9~(16.4) \times 10^{20}$ protons on target in neutrino…
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…
Determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy in a reactor neutrino experiment at medium baseline is discussed. Observation of the interference effects between the \Delta m^2_{31} and \Delta m^2_{32} oscillations enables a relative…
Neutrinos are elementary particles in the standard model of particle physics. There are 3 flavors of neutrinos that oscillate among themselves. Their oscillation can be described by a 3$\times$3 unitary matrix, containing three mixing…
We report an improved measurement of the neutrino mixing angle $\theta_{13}$ from the Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment. We exclude a zero value for $\sin^22\theta_{13}$ with a significance of 7.7 standard deviations. Electron…
Recent neutrino oscillation data hint that the smallest neutrino mixing angle theta_{13} is possible to lie in the range 5^\circ \lesssim \theta_{13} \lesssim 12^\circ. We show that reasonable perturbations to the democratic mixing pattern,…
I review the interpretation of solar and atmospheric neutrino data in terms neutrino oscillations and describe some ways to account for the required neutrino masses and mixing angles from first principles, both within top-down and bottom-up…
We present the results of a Bayesian analysis of solar and KamLAND neutrino data in the framework of three-neutrino mixing. We adopt two approaches for the prior probability distribution of the oscillation parameters Delta m^2_{21}, sin^2…
Assuming three generations of Majorana neutrinos, we study the different mixing patterns that arise from the non-trivial breaking of the flavor group A5 and CP to the residual symmetries Z3, Z5 or Z2 x Z2 in the charged lepton and to Z2 x…
