Current and future neutrino oscillation constraints on leptonic unitarity [PDF]
The unitarity of the lepton mixing matrix is a critical assumption underlying the standard neutrino-mixing paradigm. However, many models seeking to explain the as-yet-unknown origin of neutrino masses predict deviations from unitarity in the mixing of ...

Improved short-baseline neutrino oscillation search and energy spectrum measurement with the PROSPECT experiment at HFIR [PDF]
We present a detailed report on sterile neutrino oscillation and U-235 antineutrino energy spectrum measurement results from the PROSPECT experiment at the highly enriched High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

In the last decades, a very important breakthrough has been brought about in the elementary particle physics by the discovery of the phenomenon of the neutrino oscillations, which has shown neutrino properties beyond the Standard Model. But a full understanding of the various aspects of the neutrino oscillations is far to be achieved. In this paper the

About an (Im‐)Possible Anomaly in Band Structure Theory
The envelope function approach is used to establish fundamental analogies between certain types of 2D band structures and classes of elementary particles known as luxons, tardyons, and tachyons. Anomalies of the three fundamental spinor band structures and in the spectrum of Landau levels are discussed.

Updated MiniBooNE neutrino oscillation results with increased data and new background studies [PDF]
The MiniBooNE experiment at Fermilab reports a total excess of 638.0±132.8 electron-like events (4.8σ) from a data sample corresponding to 18.75×1020 protons-on-target in neutrino mode, which is a 46% increase in the data sample with respect to ...

Neutrino velocity and neutrino oscillations [PDF]
We study distances of propagation and the group velocities of the muon neutrinos in the presence of mixing and oscillations assuming that Lorentz invariance holds. Oscillations lead to distortion of the $ _ $ wave packet which, in turn, changes the group velocity and the distance $ _ $ travels. We find that the change of the distance, $d_{osc}$, is

Neutrino Masses and Oscillations [PDF]
The year 2013 marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of Bruno Pontecorvo, who first suggested the possibility that neutrinos might have a nonzero mass such that oscillations among different neutrino states might occur. Pontecorvo constantly pursued this idea, after the discovery of other neutrino flavours, until his death. This issue is intended as a

Revealing Neutrino Oscillations Unknowns with Reactor and Long-Baseline Accelerator Experiments
Reactor and accelerator-based neutrino experiments have played a critical role in the understanding of neutrino oscillations and are currently dominating the high-precision measurements of neutrino oscillation parameters.

First measurement of neutrino oscillation parameters using neutrinos and antineutrinos by NOvA. [PDF]
The NOvA experiment has seen a 4.4σ signal of ν[over ¯]_{e} appearance in a 2 GeV ν[over ¯]_{μ} beam at a distance of 810 km. Using 12.33×10^{20} protons on target delivered to the Fermilab NuMI neutrino beamline, the experiment recorded 27 ν[over ¯]_{μ}→
