High-energy neutrinos, arising from decays of mesons produced through the collisions of cosmic ray particles with air nuclei, form the background in the astrophysical neutrino detection problem. An ambiguity in high-energy behavior of pion…
Measurements of the solar neutrino mass-squared difference from KamLAND and solar neutrino data are somewhat discrepant, perhaps due to nonstandard neutrino interactions in matter. We show that the zenith angle distribution of solar…
Geomagnetic effects distort the zenith angle distribution of sub--GeV and few--GeV atmospheric neutrinos, breaking the up--down symmetry that would be present in the absence of neutrino oscillations and without a geomagnetic field. The…
With only three flavors it is possible to account for various neutrino oscillation experiments. The masses and mixing angles for three neutrinos can be determined from the available experimental data on neutrino oscillation and from the…
Super-Kamiokande has reported a small excess of electron antineutrino events in the 20 MeV energy range, in the search for the diffuse supernova neutrino background. We interpret this signal as a possible indication of dark matter that…
It has been stated in the literature that the case of maximal mixing angle for \nu_e leads to no day-night effect for solar neutrinos and an energy independent flux suppression of 1/2. While the case of maximal mixing angle and \Delta m^2…

Neutrino oscillation scenarios involving large angle $\nu_{\mu} \to \nu_e$ oscillations are disfavoured in the parameter range $\Delta m^2/eV^2 >~ 10^{-3}$ by recent results from the CHOOZ reactor-based $\bar{\nu}_e$ disappearance…

Measurements of atmospheric neutrinos by Super-Kamiokande an other detectors have given evidence for the existence of neutrino oscillations with large mixing and $\Delta m^2$ in the range 10^{-3}-10^{-2} eV^2. In this work we discuss…
Upgraded electronics, improved water system dynamics, better calibration and analysis techniques allowed Super-Kamiokande-IV to clearly observe very low-energy 8B solar neutrino interactions, with recoil electron kinetic energies as low as…
We analyzed the solar, terrestrial and atmospheric neutrinos experiments using the three-flavor neutrino framework and got the allowed regions for parameters (\Delta m_{12}^2, \sin^22\theta_{12}, \Delta m_{23}^2, \theta_{13}, \theta_{23}).…
Assuming atmospheric neutrino oscillations with dominant nu_mu<--->nu_tau transitions, we discuss how subdominant nu_e mixing (within the Chooz reactor bounds) can alter the zenith distributions of neutrino-induced electrons and muons. We…
MACRO can detect three topologies of neutrino induced events, corresponding to different parent neutrino energies. The most numerous sample is made of upward throughgoing muons induced by atmospheric neutrinos of average energy 100 GeV. We…

Violation of the Equivalence Principle (VEP) can lead to neutrino oscillation through the non-diagonal coupling of neutrino flavor eigenstates with the gravitational field. The neutrino energy dependence of this oscillation probability is…
