چکیده
Recent studies of neutrino oscillations have established the existence of finite neutrino masses and mixing between generations of neutrinos [1]. The combined results from studies of atmospheric neutrinos, solar neutrinos, reactor antineutrinos and neutrinos produced at accelerators paint an intriguing picture that clearly requires modification of the standard model of particle physics. These results also provide clear motivation for future neutrino oscillation experiments as well as searches for direct neutrino mass and nuclear double-beta decay. I will discuss the program of new neutrino oscillation experiments aimed at completing our knowledge of the neutrino mixing matrix.

Review of Reactor Neutrino Oscillation Experiments
In this document we will review the current status of reactor neutrino oscillation experiments and present their physics potentials for measuring the θ13 neutrino mixing angle. The neutrino mixing angle θ13 is currently a high-priority topic in the field of neutrino physics. There are currently three different reactor neutrino experiments, Double Chooz, Daya Bay and Reno and a few accelerator n...

We review the current status of the solar neutrino oscillation parameters. We discuss the conditions under which measurements from future solar neutrino experiments would determine the oscillation parameters precisely. Finally we expound the potential of long baseline reactor anti-neutrino experiments in measuring the solar neutrino oscillation parameters.
متن کاملNeutrino Cross Section Measurements for Long-baseline Accelerator-based Neutrino Oscillation Experiments
Neutrino oscillations are clear evidence for physics beyond the standard model. The goal of next-generation neutrino oscillation experiments is to find a non-zero θ13, the last mixing matrix element for which we only know an upper limit. For this, next-generation long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments require an order of magnitude better sensitivities. In particular, accelerator-based e...
متن کاملNon-Standard Neutrino Interactions and Neutrino Oscillation Experiments
In analyzing neutrino oscillation experiments it is often assumed that while new physics contributes to neutrino masses, neutrino interactions are given by the Standard Model. We develop a formalism to study new physics effects in neutrino interactions using oscillation experiments. We argue that the notion of branching ratio is not appropriate in this case. We show that a neutrino appearance e...

Then, we will present the next generation of long baseline experiments with a prim...
متن کاملAtmospheric Neutrino Oscillations among Three Neutrino Flavors and Long-baseline Experiments
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 fields that can accommodate the data of solar neutrino experiments. The oscillations of atmospheric and terrestrial neutrinos are described in this model by thr...
