New experiments at accelerators and reactors are being designed to search for a possible non-zero value of the MNS matrix parameter theta_{13}.
Present global fits of world neutrino data hint towards non-maximal $\theta_{23}$ with two nearly degenerate solutions, one in the lower octant ($\theta_{23} <\pi/4$), and the other in the higher octant ($\theta_{23} >\pi/4$). This octant…
Until recently, measurements of theta_13, which describes the nu_e component in the nu_3 mass eigenstate, gave only upper limits, leaving open the possibility that it is zero and eliminating a source of CP violation in the neutrino sector.…
