چکیده

We review the present status of three-flavour neutrino oscillations, taking into account the latest available neutrino oscillation data presented at the Neutrino 2008 Conference. This includes the data released this summer by the MINOS collaboration, the data of the neutral current counter phase of the SNO solar neutrino experiment, as well as the latest KamLAND and Borexino data. We give the updated determinations of the leading ’solar’ and ’atmospheric’ oscillation parameters. We find from global data that the mixing angle θ13 is consistent with zero within 0.9σ and we derive an upper bound of sin θ13 ≤ 0.035 (0.056) at 90% CL (3σ).

Status of global fits to neutrino oscillations

We review the present status of global analyses of neutrino oscillations, taking into account the most recent neutrino data including the latest KamLAND and K2K updates presented at Neutrino2004, as well as state-of-the-art solar and atmospheric neutrino flux calculations. We give the two-neutrino solar + KamLAND results, and the two-neutrino atmospheric + K2K oscillation regions, discussing in...

Lepton Flavour Mixing Matrix and CP Violation from Neutrino Oscillation Experiments

The measurement of the charged-current B solar neutrino reaction on deuterium at the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory confirms the neutrino oscillation hypothesis for the solar neutrino problem, and the result favours the solution with large neutrino mixing angles. We demonstrate that the current neutrino oscillation data (including atmospheric and reactor neutrinos) are sufficient to construct the...

Recent Results From the K2K (KEK-to-Kamioka) Neutrino Oscillation Experiment

For many years experiments studying neutrinos produced in interactions of cosmic rays with atmospheric nuclei have been measuring a significant suppression of the ratio of νμ to νe with respect to the expectation derived from standard hadronic shower models [1–6]. The popular interpretation of this suppression is that neutrino oscillations, in which νμ change to some other neutrino flavour in f...

Relic neutrino decoupling including flavour oscillations

In the early universe, neutrinos are slightly coupled when electron-positron pairs annihilate transferring their entropy to photons. This process originates non-thermal distortions on the neutrino spectra which depend on neutrino flavour, larger for νe than for νμ or ντ . We study the effect of three-neutrino flavour oscillations on the process of neutrino decoupling by solving the momentum-dep...

CP Violation in Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay

We argue three-flavour neutrino mixing. We consider the neutrinos as Majorana particles and see how the neutrinoless double beta decay constrains the neutrino mixing angles. Our formulation is widely valid and is applied to the neutrino oscillation experiment.
