We investigate the effects of a nonzero leptonic mixing angle $\theta_{13}$ on the solar neutrino day-night asymmetry. Using a constant matter density profile for the Earth and well-motivated approximations, we derive analytical expressions…
The measurement of the deviation of the 2-3 leptonic mixing from maximal, D_23 = 1/2 - sin^2(theta_23), is one of the key issues for understanding the origin of the neutrino masses and mixing. In the three-neutrino context we study the…

Assuming 3 neutrino mixing and massive Majorana neutrinos, we analyze the implications of the results of the solar neutrino experiments, including the latest SNO data, which favor the LMA MSW solution of the solar neutrino problem with…
When solar neutrino and KamLAND data are analyzed separately one finds that, even though allowed regions of neutrino parameters overlap, the values of $\delta m^2$ and the mixing angle $\theta_{12}$ at the $\chi^2$ minima are different. We…
A model of neutrino oscillation experiments is constructed. The experiments incorporated are: solar neutrinos (Chlorine, Gallium, Super-K, and SNO), reactor neutrinos (Bugey and CHOOZ), beam stop neutrinos (LSND decay at rest and decay in…
We develop a detailed and comprehensive description of neutrino oscillations driven by the 1-3 mixing in the matter of the Earth. The description is valid for the realistic (PREM) Earth density profile in the whole range of nadir angles and…
After some preliminary arguments suggesting that neutrino mixings with inverted mass pattern may be easier to understand within the framework of a local horizontal symmetry SU(2)_H acting on leptons, we construct a specific extension of the…
All existing solar and atmospheric neutrino oscillation data are described by the standard two-neutrino formulas with neutrino mass squared differences that satisfy the hierarchy relation $\Delta m^{2}_{sol} \ll \Delta m^{2}_{atm}$. We…
Maximum mixing in atmospheric neutrino oscillation, as well as vanishing of the MNS matrix element $U_{e3}$, are consequences of a 2-3 symmetry, under which the neutrino mass matrix is invariant under the interchange of second and third…

A non zero, surprisingly large value of the third mixing angle $\theta_{13}$ has been measured in reactor neutrino experiments. Currently the most precise measurement of $\sin^2 2\theta_{13}$ has been performed by the Daya Bay experiment…
The neutrino mixing angle theta(13) is at the focus of current neutrino research. From a global analysis of the available oscillation data in a 3-neutrino framework, we previously reported [Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, 141801 (2008)] hints in…
