Recent global fit analyses of oscillation data show a preference for normal mass ordering (NMO) at 2.5$\sigma$ and provide 1.6$\sigma$ indications for lower $\theta_{23}$ octant and leptonic CP violation. A high-precision measurement of…
We discuss the implications of the latest NO$ \nu $A results on the measurement of $\nu_\mu - \nu_e$ conversions. From a combined analysis of the disappearance and appearance data, the preferred solutions reported by NO$ \nu $A are normal…
We expound in detail the degeneracy between the octant of $\theta_{23}$ and flavor-changing neutral-current non-standard interactions (NSI's) in neutrino propagation, considering the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) as a case…
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…
We study parameter degeneracies that can occur in long-baseline neutrino appearance experiments due to nonstandard interactions (NSI) in neutrino propagation. For a single off-diagonal NSI parameter, and neutrino and antineutrino…
At present the three major unknowns in neutrino oscillation parameters are the mass hierarchy, the octant of $\theta_{23}$ and the CP phase $\delta_{CP}$. It is well known that the presence of hierarchy$-\delta_{CP}$ and octant degeneracies…
Now that the NOvA experiment is approaching two years run time and has released some preliminary data, some constraints for the oscillation parameters can be inferred. Currently the best fits for NOvA are three separate results, the reason…
We investigate the implications of a sterile neutrino on the physics potential of the proposed experiment DUNE and future runs of NO$\nu$A using latest NO$\nu$A results. Using combined analysis of the disappearance and appearance data,…
Non-standard interactions (NSI) between neutrinos and matter at long-baseline experiments could make determination of the CP-violating phase $\delta_{13}$ ambiguous due to interference with additional complex phases. Such degeneracies are…
We study the consequences of invisible decay of neutrinos in the context of the DUNE experiment. We assume that the third mass eigenstate is unstable and decays to a light sterile neutrino and a scalar or a pseudo-scalar. We consider DUNE…
In this article, we review the status of the tension between the long-baseline accelerator neutrino experiments T2K and NO$\nu$A. The tension arises mostly due to the mismatch in the appearance data of the two experiments. We explain how…
We systematically assess the DUNE experiment's ability to distinguish between various beyond-standard neutrino oscillation hypotheses pair combinations. For a pair comparison, we evaluate the statistical separation, where one hypothesis…
We study the efficiency of DUNE, a next generation long baseline oscillation experiment to resolve two major unknowns in neutrino oscillation physics. These are, octant of $\theta_{23}$ (i.e. if $\theta_{23}$ is $< 45^\circ$ or $>45^\circ$)…
We investigate the baseline range in which the $\theta_{23}$ degeneracy in neutrino oscillation probabilities is absent for fixed values of $\theta_{13}$ and CP violation phase $\delta_{\rm CP}$. We begin by studying sensitivities of…
Neutrino oscillation among the three active neutrino flavors is well established and supported by experiments at diverse length scales and energy scales. It may be noted that five of the neutrino oscillation parameters in the three-flavor…
New physics beyond the Standard Model could appear at long baseline oscillation experiments as non-standard interactions (NSI) between neutrinos and matter. If so, determination of the CP-violating phase $\delta_{13}$ is ambiguous due to…
We consider the $\nu_\mu \to \nu_{\tau}$ appearance channel in the future Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) which offers a good statistics of the $\nu_{\tau}$ sample. In order to measure its impact on constraining the oscillation…
Neutrino visible decay in the presence of matter is re-evaluated. We study these effects in two future long-baseline experiments where matter effects are relevant: DUNE (1300 km) and a hypothetical beam aimed towards ANDES (7650 km). We…
The three kinds of parameter degeneracy in neutrino oscillation, the intrinsic, sign and octant degeneracy, form an eight-fold degeneracy. The nature of this eight-fold degeneracy can be visualized on the ($\sin^22\theta_{13}$,…
To measure the last unknown $3\nu$ oscillation parameter ($\delta$), several long baseline neutrino experiments have been designed or proposed. Recently it has been shown that turning on neutral current Non-Standard Interactions (NSI) of…
