Neutrino oscillations are clear evidence for physics beyond the standard model. The goal of next-generation neutrino oscillation experiments is to find a non-zero $\theta_{13}$, the last mixing matrix element for which we only know an upper…

In the near future, the neutrinoless double-beta ($0\nu\beta\beta$) decay experiments will hopefully reach the sensitivity of a few ${\rm meV}$ to the effective neutrino mass $|m^{}_{\beta\beta}|$. In this paper, we tentatively examine the…
Superbeam experiments can, in principle, achieve impressive sensitivities for CP violation in neutrino oscillations for large $\theta_{13}$. We study how those sensitivities depend on assumptions about systematical uncertainties. We focus…

We identify three independent two-fold parameter degeneracies (\delta, \theta_{13}), sgn(\delta m^2_{31}) and (\theta_{23}, \pi/2-\theta_{23}) inherent in the usual three-neutrino analysis of long-baseline neutrino experiments, which can…

We investigate the effect of CP violation in the leptonic sector. Due to the tiny neutrino masses its value is predicted to be very small and it is far beyond the experimental reach of the current experiments. Recently, the magic baseline…
