Now that theta13 is known to be large, a medium baseline reactor experiment can observe the fine structure of the electron antineutrino survival probability curve, approximately periodic oscillations in L/E with wavelength 4pi/Delta M^2_31.…
We study how the eightfold-degeneracy in the ($\theta_{13},\delta$) plane observed in $\gamma \sim 100$ $\beta$-beams can be reduced by periodically changing the ions in the storage ring. This ``ions cocktail'' allows to change the neutrino…
In neutrino oscillation physics numerous exact degeneracies exist under the name LMA-Dark. These degeneracies make it impossible to determine the sign of $\Delta m^2_{31}$ known as the atmospheric mass ordering with oscillation experiments…
Expressions for neutrino oscillations contain a high degree of symmetry, but typical forms for the oscillation probabilities mask these symmetries of the oscillation parameters. We elucidate the $2^7$ parameter symmetries of the vacuum…
The measurement of the last undetermined neutrino mixing angle \theta_{13} is the main goal of the future experimental research on neutrino oscillations. At present, \theta_{13} is only known to be much smaller than the two other mixing…
Environmental decoherence of oscillating neutrinos of strength $\Gamma = (2.3 \pm 1.1) \times 10^{-23}$ GeV can explain how maximal $\theta_{23}$ mixing observed at 295 km by T2K appears to be non-maximal at longer baselines. As shown…
