We show in a simple and general way that matter effects do not contribute to the averaged value of the probabilities of transition of solar $\nu_e$'s into other states in the case of maximal mixing of any number of massive neutrinos. We…
Motivated by the indication that both the atmospheric and the solar neutrino puzzles may simultaneously be solved by (vacuum as well as matter-induced resonant) oscillations of two generations of neutrinos with large mixing, we have…
Inspired by the atmospheric multi-GeV neutrino data, we consider neutrino flavor mixing matrices which are maximal in a $2\times 2$ subsector. This condition is a strong restriction: the full matrix including complex phases depends…
The recently announced Super-Kamiokande data on atmospheric neutrino oscillation seems to require a maximal mixing between the $\nu_{\mu}$ and $\nu_{\tau}$ within the conventional three neutrino picture. It is then tempting to suggest as…
In this talk we present the update (including the recent SNO results) of our analysis of the neutrino oscillation solutions of the solar and atmospheric neutrino problems in the framework of four-neutrino mixing where a sterile neutrino is…
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…
It is shown that it is possible to account for all experimental indications for neutrino oscillations with just three flavours. In particular we suggest that the atmospheric neutrino anomaly and the LSND result can be explained by the same…
We have analyzed the most recent available Super-Kamiokande data in a three flavor neutrino oscillation model. We have here neglected possible matter effects and performed a fit to atmospheric and solar Super-Kamiokande data. We have…
The recent observation of neutrino oscillations with atmospheric and solar neutrinos, implying that neutrinos are not massless, is a discovery of paramount importance for particle physics and particle astrophysics. This invited lecture…
Anticipating future long-baseline neutrino experiments to search for neutrino oscillations in various oscillation channels, we have analyzed the atmospheric neutrino data in the framework of a model with mixing of three massive neutrino…
In light of recent Super-Kamiokande data and global fits that seem to exclude both pure \nu_\mu \to \nu_s oscillations of atmospheric neutrinos and pure \nu_e \to \nu_s oscillations of solar neutrinos (where \nu_s is a sterile neutrino), we…
The experimental evidences in favor of oscillations of solar (and KamLAND) and atmospheric (and K2K) neutrinos are briefly reviewed and accommodated in the framework of three-neutrino mixing. The implications for the values of neutrino…
We analyze the solar and the atmospheric neutrino problems in the context of three flavour neutrino oscillations. We assume a mass hierarchy in the vacuum mass eigenvalues $\mu_3^2 \gg \mu_2^2 \geq \mu_1^2$, but make no approximation…
Recent atmospheric neutrino data at Super-Kamiokande suggest the large flavor mixing of neutrinos. Models for the lepton mass matrix, which give the near-maximal flavor mixing, are discussed in the three family model. Especially, details of…
The original B. Pontecorvo idea of neutrino oscillations is discussed. Neutrino mixing and basics of neutrino oscillations in vacuum and in matter are considered. Recent evidences in favour of neutrino oscillations, obtained in…
Oscillations of three neutrinos with all squared mass splittings around 10^{-3} eV^2 are not firmly excluded by solar neutrino experiments. We carefully verify that they are also perfectly compatible with atmospheric neutrino experiments:…
The atmospheric neutrino oscillations and the vacuum oscillation solution of the solar neutrino problem can be consistently described by a doubly or triply degenerate neutrino spectrum as long as the high level of degeneracy required is not…
In view of the recent announcement on non-zero neutrino mass from Super-Kamiokande experiment, it would be very timely to investigate all the possible scenarios on masses and mixings of light neutrinos. Recently suggested mass matrix…
New observations with atmospheric neutrinos from the underground experiments SuperKamiokande, Soudan 2, and MACRO, together with earlier results from Kamiokande and IMB, are reviewed. The most recent observations reconfirm aspects of…
We find a grand unified SO(10) model which accommodates the bi-maximal neutrino mixing for vacuum-oscillation solutions to the atmospheric and the solar neutrino problems. This model maintains the original SO(10) mass relation between…
