It is well known that when the distance $t$ traveled by neutrinos in matter is short, matter effects in oscillations of neutrino flavour are small and decrease with decreasing $t$ more rapidly than the oscillations effects themselves. We…
The mixing of three active neutrino flavors is parameterized by the unitary PMNS matrix. If there are more than three neutrino flavors and if the extra generations are heavy isosinglets, the effective $3\times 3$ mixing matrix for the three…
Future multi-tonne Direct Detection experiments will be sensitive to solar neutrino induced nuclear recoils which form an irreducible background to light Dark Matter searches. Indeed for masses around 6 GeV the spectra of neutrinos and Dark…
Solar and atmospheric neutrino anomalies are described by bimaximal mixing of three neutrinos. Neutrino oscillations in appearance nu_e <--> nu_mu,nu_tau and in disappearance nu_e long baseline and atmospheric experiments are sensitive to…
Recent results from the MINOS accelerator neutrino experiment suggest a possible difference between nu_mu and anti-nu_mu disappearance oscillation parameters, which one may ascribe to a new long-distance potential acting on neutrinos. As a…
Matter effects may strongly enhance the Jarlskog factor J in T and CP-violating three-neutrino oscillation probabilities. However, we show that when J is enhanced, the same matter effects suppress the oscillating factors and increase the…
We point out a synergy between T-conjugated oscillation channels in the determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy with oscillation experiments with relatively short baselines (L < 700 km), where the matter effect is small. If information…
We revisit our previous work [Phys. Rev. D 95, 096014 (2017)] where neutrino oscillation and nonoscillation data were analyzed in the standard framework with three neutrino families, in order to constrain their absolute masses and to probe…
Beam neutrino oscillation experiments typically employ only one detector at a certain baseline, apart from the near detector that measures the unoscillated neutrino flux at the source. Lately, there have been discussions of having detectors…
We study the earth matter effects in the Tokai-to-Kamioka-and-Korea experiment (T2KK), which is a proposed extension of the T2K (Tokai-to-Kamioka) neutrino oscillation experiment between J-PARC at Tokai and Super-Kamiokande (SK) in Kamioka,…
We examine the MiniBooNE neutrino, MiniBooNE antineutrino and LSND antineutrino data sets in a two-neutrino $\stackrel{\tiny{(-)}}{\nu}_{\mu}\rightarrow\stackrel{\tiny{(-)}}{\nu}_e$ oscillation approximation subject to non-standard matter…
We examine the use of two superbeam neutrino oscillation experiments with baselines $\lsim 1000$ km to resolve parameter degeneracies inherent in the three-neutrino analysis of such experiments. We find that with appropriate choices of…
We have investigated the possibility of discerning mass from flavor changing neutrino interactions induced $\nu_\mu \to \nu_\tau$ oscillations in the long baseline neutrino experiments K2K and MINOS. We have found that for virtually any…
We study how neutrino oscillations could probe the existence of ultralight bosonic dark matter. Three distinct signatures on neutrino oscillations are identified, depending on the mass of the dark matter and the specific experimental setup.…
We compare three different methods to evaluate uncertainties in the Earth's matter density profile, which are relevant to long baseline experiments, such as neutrino factories.
This review is focused on neutrino mixing and neutrino oscillations in the light of the recent experimental developments. After discussing possible types of neutrino mixing for Dirac and Majorana neutrinos and considering in detail the…
We have analyzed the results of reactor and accelerator neutrino oscillation experiments in the framework of a general model with mixing of three neutrino fields and a neutrino mass hierarchy that can accommodate the results of the solar…
Now that the NOvA experiment is approaching two years run time and has released some preliminary data, some constraints for the oscillation parameters can be inferred. Currently the best fits for NOvA are three separate results, the reason…
Neutrino oscillations have been observed in three sectors : solar ($\nu_e$ disappearance), atmospheric ($\nu_{\mu}$ disappearance), and accelerator ($\bar{\nu_{\mu}} \to \bar{\nu_e}$). The probability for two-neutrino oscillation is a…
Assuming two-neutrino mixing takes place in vacuum, we study in detail the conditions under which the $\nu_2 \to \nu_{e}$ and $\nu_{\mu} \to \nu_{e}$ ($\nu_e \to \nu_{\mu(\tau)}$) transitions in the Earth are strongly enhanced by the…
