The octant of $\theta_{23}$ and $\delta_{CP}$ are the two major unknowns in neutrino oscillation physics. The precise determination of octant and $\delta_{CP}$ is interlinked through the octant-$\delta_{CP}$ degeneracy. In this paper we…

In this addendum to arXiv:1103.0734 we consider the recent results from long-baseline $\nu_\mu\to\nu_e$ searches at the T2K and MINOS experiments and investigate their implications for the mixing angle $\theta_{13}$ and the leptonic Dirac…
In $\nu_{\mu} \to \nu_{\mu}$ oscillations, we find that the effect of the CP phase $\delta$ becomes large in the region $E<2$ GeV and $L>2000$ km. In this region, the change of the probability in this channel reaches about 0.4 due to the CP…
We examine the prospects of probing nonstandard interactions (NSI) of neutrinos in the e-tau sector with upcoming long-baseline nu_mu -> nu_e oscillation experiments. First conjectured decades ago, neutrino NSI remain of great interest,…
