Three-Neutrino Oscillation Parameters: Status and Prospects
Abstract
Neutrino oscillation searches using a variety of sources (solar, atmospheric, accelerator and reactor neutrinos) have established a standard three-neutrino (3ν) mass-mixing framework and five of its parameters: the two squared mass gaps (δm2, Δm2) and the three mixing angles (θ12, θ13, θ23). At present, a single class of experiments dominates each of these parameters, while only combined analyses of various (eventually all) data sets are needed to constrain the still unknown mass hierarchy [sign(Δm2)], θ23 octant and CP-violating phase δ. We review the status of the known and unknown parameters (as emerging from a global analysis of the oscillation data), investigate the correlations and stability of the such parameters within different combinations of data sets, and discuss the near-term prospects in this field.
