Considering the hypothesis of mixing of three active neutrinos with, at least, one sterile neutrino, we report on a simple $4\times 4$ texture whose $ 3 \times 3 $ part arises from the popular bimaximal texture for three active neutrinos $…
Comparison of solar-neutrino signals in SNO and Super-Kamiokande (SK) detectors results in discovery of $\nu_e \to \nu_{\mu,\tau}$ oscillations at level $3.1 - 3.3 \sigma$ \cite{SNO}. This comparison involves the assumption of neutrino…
The NOMAD experiment has been designed to search for neutrino-tau appearance in the CERN wide-band neutrino beam . The detector is now completed and has been further improved. All subdetectors are working well. The experiment, where the…
In the previous paper (Part1), we have verified that the SK assumption on the direction does not hold in the analysis of neutrino events occurred inside the SK detector, which is the cornerstone for their analysis of zenith angle…
We reconsider the impact of $\bar\nu_e \leftrightarrow \bar\nu_{\mu,\tau}$ neutrino oscillations on the observed $\bar\nu_e$ signal of supernova SN 1987A. Performing a maximum-likelihood analysis using as fit parameters the released binding…
We study how well KamLAND, the first terrestrial neutrino experiment capable of addressing the solar neutrino problem, will perform in ascertaining whether or not the large mixing angle MSW solution (with $10^{-5}<\Delta m_{21}^2< 10^{-4}…
We present new $\nu_\mu\rightarrow\nu_e$, $\nu_\mu\rightarrow\nu_\mu$, $\overline{\nu}_\mu\rightarrow\overline{\nu}_e$, and $\overline{\nu}_\mu\rightarrow\overline{\nu}_\mu$ oscillation measurements by the NOvA experiment, with a 50%…
The MiniBooNE Collaboration reports first results of a search for $\nu_e$ appearance in a $\nu_\mu$ beam. With two largely independent analyses, we observe no significant excess of events above background for reconstructed neutrino energies…
The $\mu\nu$SSM is a highly predictive alternative model to the MSSM. In particular, the electroweak sector of the model can explain the longstanding discrepancy between the experimental result for the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon,…
Motivated by recent experimental data, we study solar neutrino oscillations in the range 10^-10 < delta m^2/E < 10^-7 eV^2/MeV. In this range vacuum oscillations become increasingly affected by (solar and terrestrial) matter effects for…
A model of neutrino oscillations is presented that has only three degrees of freedom and is consistent with existing data. The model is a subset of the renormalizable sector of the Standard-Model Extension (SME), and it offers an…
We have constructed an explicit see-saw model containing two singlet neutrinos, one carrying a $(B-3L_e)$ gauge charge with an intermediate mass scale of $\sim O(10^{10})$ GeV along with a sterile one near the GUT (grand unification theory)…
The MiniBooNE neutrino oscillation search experiment at Fermilab has recently updated results from a search for $\bar\nu_\mu \rightarrow \bar\nu_e$ oscillations, using a data sample corresponding to $8.58 \times 10^{20}$ protons on target…
It is known that neutrino oscillations may map $\phi_e : \phi_\mu : \phi_\tau = 1 : 2 : 0$, the initial flavor ratios of ultrahigh-energy neutrino fluxes produced from a distant astrophysical source, into $\phi^D_e : \phi^D_\mu :…
We point out that for solar neutrino oscillations with the mass-squared difference of Delta m^2 ~ 10^-10 - 10^-9 eV^2, traditionally known as ``vacuum oscillation'' range, the solar matter effects are non-negligible, particularly for the…
Zee model leads naturally to two heavy, strongly degenerate and almost maximally mixed neutrinos and to one light neutrino with small mixing. This pattern coincides with the one needed for a solution of the atmospheric neutrino problem by…
The $\nu_{\mu} \to \nu_{\tau}$ and $\nu_{\mu} \to \nu_s$ solutions to the atmospheric neutrino problem are compared with SuperKamiokande data. The differences between these solutions due to matter effects in the Earth are calculated for the…
The MiniBooNE collaboration recently released a report claiming have observed an excess of electron and anti-electron neutrino with significance of $4.8 \, \sigma$ C.L. corroborating, in this way, the long-standing LSND anomaly. Combined…
If the atmospheric and the solar neutrino problem are both explained by neutrino oscillations, and if there are only three light neutrinos, then all mass-squared differences between the neutrinos are known. In such a case, existing…
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…
