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…
We study the $\nu_\mu - \nu_s$ oscillation effects in the near detector of the MINOS experiment. Conceptually, the MINOS search for sterile neutrinos with mass $\sim 1$ eV realizes an interesting situation of partial decoherence of the…
We calculate accurately the number of solar neutrino events expected as a function of solar zenith angle, with and without neutrino oscillations, for detectors at the locations of Super-Kamiokande, SNO, and the Gran Sasso National…
The phenomenology of solar, atmospheric, supernova and laboratory neutrino oscillations is described. Analytical formulae for matter effects are reviewed. The results from oscillations are confronted with neutrinoless double beta decay.
This paper explores the use of $L/E$ oscillation probability distributions to compare experimental measurements and to evaluate oscillation models. In this case, $L$ is the distance of neutrino travel and $E$ is a measure of the interacting…
The MINOS experiment ran from 2003 until 2012 and collected a data sample including 10.71x10^20 protons-on-target (POT) of beam neutrinos, 3.36x10^20 POT of beam antineutrinos and an atmospheric neutrino exposure of 37.88 kt-yrs. The final…
We study the simplest Standard Model estension with only one extra right-handed neutrino. In this case there are two massless $m_{1,2}$ and two massive $m_{3,4}$ neutrinos, and in principle both solar and atmospheric anomalies can be…
A search for depletion of the combined flux of active neutrino species over a 735 km baseline is reported using neutral-current interaction data recorded by the MINOS detectors in the NuMI neutrino beam. Such a depletion is not expected…
The neutrino oscillation hypothesis does a poor job of representing the atmospheric neutrino anomaly. The anomaly is observed over 4 decades in path length and at least a factor of 30 in energy. This restricts the potential oscillation…
Searching for evidence of neutrino oscillations is an important problem in particle physics. Suppose that evidence for neutrino oscillations from an LSND experiment reports a significant positive oscillation probability, but that the LSND…
Data from atmospheric and solar neutrinos indicate that there are at least three neutrino types involved in oscillation phenomena. Even if the corresponding neutrino mass scales are very different, the inevitable reference to mixing between…
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…
The MiniBooNE neutrino detector was designed and built to look for muon-neutrino to electron-neutrino oscillations in the mixing parameter space region where the LSND experiment reported a signal. The MiniBooNE experiment used a beam energy…
Recent results from SuperKamiokande and SNO experiments have set severe constraints on possible mixings of a light sterile neutrino, \nu_s, with the three active species required for a simultaneous explanation of the solar, atmospheric and…
We analyze the recent results of the MiniBooNE short-baseline experiment on antinu_mu -> antinu_e oscillations in a minimal model-independent framework of antineutrino mixing in conjunction with the positive LSND signal and the negative…
We introduce the representation on one unitarity triangle of the constraints resulting (1) from the interpretation of solar and atmospheric neutrino data in terms of oscillations, and (2) from the search for neutrinoless double beta decay.…
As the increasing of neutrino energy or matter density, the neutrino oscillation in matter may undergo "vacuum-dominated", "resonance" and "matter-dominated" three different stages successively. Neutrinos endure very different matter…
We analyzed the solar, terrestrial and atmospheric neutrinos experiments using the three-flavor neutrino framework and got the allowed regions for parameters (\Delta m_{12}^2, \sin^22\theta_{12}, \Delta m_{23}^2, \theta_{13}, \theta_{23}).…
The minimal interpretation of the atmospheric neutrino data suggests that the muon neutrino oscillates into another species with a mixing angle close to the maximal $\pi/4$. In the Exact Parity Symmetric Model, both the muon and electron…
We study the R-parity violating minimal supergravity models accounting for the observed neutrino masses and mixing, which can be tested in future collider experiments. The bi-large mixing can be explained by allowing five dominant…
