Atmospheric neutrinos probe the interior of Earth using weak interactions, and provide information complementary to that of gravitational and seismic measurements. While passing through Earth, multi-GeV neutrinos encounter matter effects…
We present a formalism for the description of oscillations in matter of solar, atmospheric and long-baseline neutrinos in the two schemes of four-neutrino mixing that are allowed by the results of all existing neutrino oscillation…

This review has two parts. The first part summarizes the current observational constraints on fluctuations in the solar medium deep within the solar Radiative Zone, and shows how the KamLAND and SNO-salt data combine to make the…
The neutrino long wavelength (just-so) oscillation is revisited as a solution to the solar neutrino problem. We consider just-so scenario in various cases: in the framework of the solar models with relaxed prediction of the boron neutrino…

We analyze the solar and the atmospheric neutrino problems in the context of three flavour neutrino oscillations. We assume a mass hierarchy in the vacuum mass eigenvalues $\mu_3^2 \gg \mu_2^2 \geq \mu_1^2$, but make no approximation…

SNO's neutral current measurement has added a new piece to the emerging neutrino physics puzzle. Putting together the presently available experimental information, an essentially unique picture emerges: The solar neutrino anomaly is…
We study the solar neutrino problem within the framework of a parametrized post-Newtonian formulation for the gravitational interaction of the neutrinos, which incorporates a violation to the equivalence principle (VEP). Using the current…
Resonant interactions between neutrinos from a Galactic supernova and dark matter particles can lead to a sharp dip in the neutrino energy spectrum. Due to its excellent energy resolution, measurement of this effect with the JUNO experiment…
Motivated by existing and recent data on possible neutrino oscillations, we propose a model of four light neutrinos ($\nu_e, \nu_\mu, \nu_\tau$, and a singlet $\nu_S$) with a pattern of masses and mixing derivable from a $Z_5$ discrete…
Assuming the solar and atmospheric neutrino deficits to be due to neutrino oscillations, it is shown that the 3X3 mass matrix spanning the e, mu, and tau neutrinos may have already revealed a seesaw mass pattern. Also, this matrix is the…
The ESSnuSB experiment aims to measure the leptonic CP phase $\delta_{CP}$ with an unprecedented resolution by probing neutrino oscillations at the second oscillation maximum. In the present work, the complementarity between the…
We have constructed an explicit see-saw model containing two singlet neutrinos, one carrying a $(B-3L_e)$ gauge charge with an intermediate mass scale of $\sim O(10^{10})$ GeV along with a sterile one near the GUT (grand unification theory)…
We show how two different scales for oscillations between $e$ and $\mu$ neutrinos, characterized by different mixing angles and effective mass scales, can arise in a simple and theoretically attractive framework. One scale characterizes…
