A recent work [Y. Huang and B.-Q. Ma, Commun. Phys. {\bf 1}, 62 (2018)] associated all four PeV neutrinos observed by IceCube to gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), and revealed a regularity which indicates a Lorentz violation scale $E_{\rm…
We propose an explanation of the LSND evidence for electron antineutrino appearance based on neutrino decay. We introduce a heavy neutrino, which is produced in pion and muon decays because of a small mixing with muon neutrinos, and then…
We supplement \ML methods with a \MC simulation to re-investigate the SN1987A neutrino burst detection by the IMB and Kamiokande experiments. The detector simulations include background in the the latter and ``dead-time'' in the former. We…
CPT violation has an impressive limit in the neutral kaon system |m(K^0) - m(\bar{K}^0)| < 10^{-18} m_K = 0.50 \times 10^{-18} GeV. However, if viewed as a constraint on the mass-squared, the bound appears weak, |m^2(K^0) - m^2(\bar{K}^0)|…
Existing experimental data for neutrino oscillations are consistent with Lorentz-violating massless neutrinos. This talk summarizes some aspects of neutrino oscillations from the perspective of Lorentz and CPT violation in effective quantum…
If dark energy (DE) couples to neutrinos, then there may be apparent violations of Lorentz/CPT invariance in neutrino oscillations. The DE-induced Lorentz/CPT violation takes a specific form that introduces neutrino oscillations that are…
We suggest that the atmospheric neutrino anomaly observed in the Super-Kamiokande (and other) experiments results from the combined effects of muon-neutrino to tau-neutrino oscillations with a Delta m^2 value of approximately 0.4 eV^2 and…
Solar, atmospheric and LSND neutrino oscillation results require a light sterile neutrino, $\nu_B$, which can exist in the bulk of extra dimensions. Solar $\nu_e$, confined to the brane, can oscillate in the vacuum to the zero mode of…
The SNO result on charged current deuteron disintegration, the SuperKamiokande 1258-day data on electron scattering, and other solar neutrino results are used to revisit the model of neutrino oscillations driven by a violation of the…
CPT violation has the potential to explain all three existing neutrino anomalies without enlarging the neutrino sector. CPT violation in the Dirac mass terms of the three neutrino flavors preserves Lorentz invariance, but generates…
MiniBooNE (Mini Booster Neutrino Experiment) searches for the $\nu_\mu\to\nu_e$ oscillations with $\Delta m^2 \sim 1 \eV^2/c^4$ indicated by the LSND experiment. The LSND evidence, when taken with the solar and atmospheric neutrino…
We search for scalar and tensor non-standard interactions using (anti)-electron neutrino disappearance in oscillation data. We found a slight preference for non-zero CP violation, coming from both tensor and scalar interactions. The…
The excess of solar-neutrino events above 13 MeV that has been recently observed by Superkamiokande can be explained by the vacuum oscillation solution to the Solar Neutrino Problem (SNP). If the boron neutrino flux is 20% smaller than the…
The neutrino parameters determined from the solar neutrino data and the anti-neutrino parameters determined from KamLAND reactor experiment are in good agreement with each other. However, the best fit points of the two sets differ from each…
Super-Kamiokande collaboration assumes that the direction of every observed lepton coincides with the incoming direction of the incident neutrino, which is the fundamental basement throughout all their analysis on neutrino oscillation. We…
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…
We analyzed the electron neutrino data of the Gallium radioactive source experiments and the electron antineutrino data of the reactor Bugey and Chooz experiments in terms of neutrino oscillations allowing for a CPT-violating difference of…
The result of a search for neutrino bursts from supernova explosions using the Super-Kamiokande detector is reported. Super-Kamiokande is sensitive to core-collapse supernova explosions via observation of their neutrino emissions. The…
String inspired models with millimeter scale extra dimensions provide a natural way to understand an ultralight sterile neutrino needed for a simultaneous explanation of the solar, atmospheric and LSND neutrino oscillation results. The…
We analyze the energy and zenith angle distributions of the latest 2-year IceCube dataset of upward going atmospheric neutrinos to constrain sterile neutrinos at the eV scale in the 3+1 scenario. We find that the parameters favored by a…
