Recently a positive indication of the neutrinoless double beta decay has been announced. We study the implications of this result taking into consideration earlier results on atmospheric neutrinos and solar neutrinos. We also include in our…
We study the implications of the Dark-LMA solution to the solar neutrino problem for neutrino-less double beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$ ). We show that while the predictions for the effective mass governing $0\nu\beta\beta$ remains unchanged…
It has been known for some time that the well established LMA solution to the observed solar neutrino deficit fails to predict a flat energy spectrum for SuperKamiokande as opposed to what the data indicates. It also leads to a Chlorine…
With the goal of identifying signatures that select specific neutrino oscillation parameters, we test the robustness of global oscillation solutions that fit all the available solar and reactor experimental data. We use three global…
Effects of the dense matter can induce the neutrino decay even if neutrinos are stable in vacuum. This is due to coherent interactions with matter which lead to energy level-splitting between the neutrino and antineutrino states and thereby…
We investigate the prospects for non-standard interactions (NSI) in solar neutrino propagation and detection and find that these may solve the tension between the observed flatness of the SuperKamiokande electron spectrum and its LMA…
Two-neutrino oscillations in vacuum are studied as a possible solution of the solar neutrino problem. New constraints on the parameter sn2, characterizing the mixing of the electron neutrino with another active or sterile neutrino, as well…
Results of a new analysis of the CHOOZ data, performed in the framework of three-neutrino mixing, are presented. Both the cases of normal and inverted neutrino mass hierarchy are considered. The parameters characterizing the solar neutrino…
Assuming that the solar neutrino deficit observed in the Homestake, SAGE, Gallex, Kamiokande and Super-Kamiokande experiments is due to the interaction of the neutrino transition magnetic moment with the solar magnetic field, we calculate…
We present an updated global analysis of two-flavor MSW solutions to the solar neutrino problem in terms of conversions of nu_e into active or sterile neutrinos. We perform a fit to the full data set corresponding to the 825-day…
The motivations for the magnetic moment solution to the solar neutrino problem are briefly reviewed and the expected values for a number of observables to be measured by the SNO experiment are calculated assuming three different solar…
We investigate the way how the total mass sum of neutrinos can be constrained from the neutrinoless double beta decay and cosmological probes with cosmic microwave background (WMAP 3-year results), large scale structures including 2dFGRS…
We make a general study of possibility of generating solar scale $\Delta_{\odot}$ and the CHOOZ angle $U_{e3}$ radiatively by assuming that they are zero at some high scale. The most general neutrino mass matrix leading to this result is…
As a viable alternative to the LMA solution to the solar neutrino problem, the LOW solution is confronted with two-zero textures of the $3\times 3$ neutrino mass matrix. We find out nine acceptable textures, from which instructive…
The development of new supernova neutrino detectors relies on the expected hard energy spectrum of the nu_mu and nu_tau emitted in the supernova. We show that SN1987A was sensitive to the large mixing angle (LMA) and "just so" solution to…
This paper reviews the constraints imposed on the solar neutrino mixing parameters by data collected by the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO). The SNO multivariate analysis is reviewed. The global solar neutrino analysis is emphasized in…
The first results from the JUNO reactor neutrino oscillation experiment improve our knowledge of neutrino masses and mixing parameters, especially the solar angle $\theta_s \equiv \theta_{12}$ and the solar mass squared difference $\Delta…
We investigate the current status of the long-wavelength vacuum oscillation solution to the solar neutrino problem and to what extent the presence of a third neutrino can affect and modify it. Assuming that the smaller mass squared…
We study what will be learnt about the solar neutrino puzzle and solar neutrino oscillations once the data from the KamLAND reactor neutrino experiment (soon to become available) are combined with those from the current solar neutrino…
We present an updated analysis of all the data available about solar neutrinos, including the charged current SNO results. The best fit of the data is obtained in the Large Mixing Angle region, but different solutions are still possible. We…
