In this paper we quantify the trade-off between setups optimized to be ancillary to Phase II Superbeams or Neutrino Factories and experiments tuned for maximal sensitivity to the subdominant terms of the neutrino transition probability at…
We discuss the possibilities of high precision measurement of the solar neutrino mixing angle $\theta_\odot \equiv \theta_{12}$ in solar and reactor neutrino experiments. The improvements in the determination of $\sin^2\theta_{12}$, which…
In 2004, two of us proposed a texture, the "Simplest" neutrino mass matrix, which predicted sin(theta13)=sqrt((2 Solar-Delta m^2)/(3 Atm-Delta m^2)) and delta_CP=90 degrees. Using today's measured values for neutrino mass-squared…
We study the potential of a Neutrino Factory in constraining the parameter space of a scheme with one sterile neutrino separated from three active ones by an O(1) eV^2, mass-squared difference. We present approximated analytic expressions…
We present a detailed quantitative discussion of the measurement of the leptonic mixing angle $\sin^2 2 \theta_{13}$ with a future reactor neutrino oscillation experiment consisting of a near and far detector. We perform a thorough analysis…
Recent measurements of large theta_{13} by Daya Bay and RENO reactor experiments have opened up the possibility of determining the neutrino mass hierarchy, i.e. the sign of the mass squared splitting Delta m_{31}^2, the CP-violating phase…
The study of neutrino oscillation at accelerators is limited by systematic uncertainties, in particular on the neutrino flux, cross-section, and energy estimates. These systematic uncertainties could be eliminated by a novel experimental…
After the successful measurement of the mixing angle $\theta_{13}$, the determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy has become a priority for future neutrino experiments. We propose a conventional $\nu_\mu$ beam with neutrino energies in…
The masses of sterile neutrinos are not yet known, and depending on the orders of magnitudes, their existence may explain reactor anomalies or the spectral shape of reactor neutrino events at 1.5km-baseline detector. Here, we present…
The long baseline between the Earth and the Sun makes solar neutrinos an excellent test beam for exploring possible neutrino decay. The signature of such decay would be an energy-dependent distortion of the traditional survival probability…
We demonstrate that one could measure the absolute matter density of the Earth's core with a vertical neutrino factory baseline at the per cent level for $\sin^2 2 \theta_{13} \gtrsim 0.01$, where we include all correlations with the…
We show that the neutrino mass matrix with the minimal texture leads to the neutrino mass and mixing that are empirically determined, including $\theta_{13}$ that is measured recently at a high precision. This mass matrix, where the…
We propose that reactor experiments could be used to constrain the environment dependence of neutrino mass and mixing parameters, which could be induced due to an acceleron coupling to matter fields. There are several short-baseline reactor…
We discuss in a systematic way the extraction of neutrino masses, mixing angles and leptonic CP violation at neutrino factories. Compared to previous studies we put a special emphasis on improved statistical methods and on the…
We investigate the possibilities offered by the long baseline experiments T2K, No$\nu$a, LBNE and LAGUNA for the evaluation of the neutrino mass hierarchy and CP violating phase $\delta_{CP}$. We consider a neutrino and antineutrino energy…
We have surveyed leptonic and grand unified models of neutrino masses and mixings in the literature which are still viable and give numerical predictions for the reactor angle, $\theta_{13}$. The results are of considerable interest in…
The presence of massive neutrinos has still not been revealed by the cosmological data. We consider a novel method based on the two-point line-of-sight correlation function of high-resolution Lyman-$\alpha$ data to achieve this end in the…
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…
The Daya Bay Neutrino Experiment is proposed to measure sin^2(2\theta_{13}) to better than 0.01 at 90% C.L. in a three-year run. The experimental site, detector design, and background estimation are presented.
A next-generation neutrino oscillation experiment using reactor neutrinos could give important information on the size of mixing angle $\theta_{13}$. The motivation and goals for a new reactor measurement are discussed in the context of…
