Neutrino physics : phenomenological and theoretical perspectives
Srubabati Goswami
Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad, India
!1 Neutrino: questions
❖ Unknown oscillation parameters - hierarchy, octant of 2-3 mixing angle and CP phase
❖ Absolute neutrino masses — beta decay, cosmology
❖ Nature of neutrinos - Dirac or Majorana — neutrino less double beta decay
❖ Are there more than three flavours — sterile neutrinos
❖ Origin of neutrino masses and mixing — seesaw , flavour symmetry — physics beyond Standard Model

!5 Three Neutrino Paradigm
❖ Measurement of non-zero in reactor experiments three neutrino picture
!6 Current Status
❖ Best-fit in second octant ❖ Preference for NO ❖ disfavoured at more than irrespective of mass ordering ❖ Oscillation experiments not sensitive to Majorana phases
Similar result from Bari and Valencia groups
!7 Degeneracy problem
❖ The main problem in determination of hierarchy, octant and in LBL experiments is due to presence of degeneracies
❖ Degeneracy different set of parameters giving the same probability equally good fit to the data

❖ Determination of hierarchy, octant and CP phase
❖ Probing new physics in oscillation experiments
❖ Testing models of flavour symmetry
❖ Synergy between different experiments
!10 Mass hierarchy and CP with DUNE
Hierarchy sensitivity due Matter effects help in removing to enhanced matter effects wrong hierarchy-wrong CP solutions
