We make a global vacuum neutrino oscillation analysis of solar neutrino data, including the seasonal and energy dependence of the recent Super–Kamiokande 708day results. The best fit parameters for νe oscillations to an active neutrino are δm = 4.42 × 10 eV, sin 2θ = 0.93. The allowed mixing angle region is consistent with bi–maximal mixing of three neutrinos. Oscillations to a sterile neutrino...

Various issues in neutrino phenomenology are reviewed, including: the possibility of large mixing angles in various models for neutrino masses, difficulties for degenerate neutrinos as candidates for hot dark matter, strategies for discriminating between different oscillation interpretations of the atmospheric and solar neutrino anomalies, the programme of work for long-baseline neutrino experi...

The recent real time KARMEN anomaly for the electron neutrino counting rates (obtained from stopped muon decays) is analyzed by employing a neutrino flavor rotation model in which the muon neutrino is in a superposition of only two mass eigenstates. On the basis of experimental electron neutrino counting oscillations, we find a neutrino mass splitting |m22 −m 2 1| = (0.22± 0.02)(eV/c ) and a fl...

Neutrino oscillations provide evidence for the mode entanglement of neutrino mass eigenstates in a given flavour eigenstate. Given this mode entanglement, it is pertinent to consider the relation between the oscillation probabilities and other quantum correlations. In this work, we show that all the well-known quantum correlations, such as the Bell’s inequality, are directly related to the neut...

The Main Injector Neutrino Oscillation Search (MINOS) experiment’s Far Detector has been operational since July 2003, taking cosmic ray and atmospheric neutrino data from its location in the Soudan Mine Underground Lab. Numerous neutrino-induced muons have been observed. The detector’s magnetic field allows the first determination by a large underground detector of muon charge and thus neutrino...

We propose a simple texture of the neutrino mass matrix with one sterile neutrino along with the three standard ones. It gives maximal mixing angles for νe → νS and νμ → ντ oscillations or vice versa. Thus with only four parameters, this mass matrix can explain the solar neutrino anomaly, atmospheric neutrino anomaly, LSND result and the hot dark matter of the universe, while satisfying all oth...

We study neutrino masses and mixings based on the simplest SO(10) mass relations and the seesaw mechanism. We find that the requirement of large neutrino mixings determines the relative magnitude of the heavy Majorana neutrino masses in terms of the known quark mass hierarchy. This leads to specific predictions for the structure of the neutrino mixing matrix, the light neutrino masses, CP viola...

If one assumes solar and LSND neutrino oscillations to explain the corresponding data, then the atmospheric neutrino deficit cannot be accommodated within the Standard Model with three light flavors, unless one ignores the data’s zenith-angle dependence. We propose a novel solution to this problem by postulating large anomalous diagonal ντ -quark interactions which affect νμ − ντ oscillations t...

We study charged-current neutrino cross sections on neutronrich nuclei in the mass A ∼ 60 region. Special attention is paid to environmental effects, i.e. finite temperature and density, on the cross sections. As these effects are largest for small neutrino energies, it is sufficient to study only the Gamow-Teller (GT) contributions to the cross sections. The relevant GT strength distributions ...

I summarize the present status of global analyses of neutrino oscillations, including the most recent KamLAND and K2K data, as well as the latest solar and atmospheric neutrino fluxes. I give the allowed ranges of the three– flavour oscillation parameters from the current worlds’ global neutrino data sample, their best fit values and discuss the small parameters α ≡ ∆m2sol/∆m 2 atm and sin 2 θ1...
