Global analysis of neutrino masses, mixings, and phases: Entering the era of leptonic CP violation searches
Year: 2012
Type: article
Abstract: We perform a global analysis of neutrino oscillation data, including high-precision measurements of the neutrino mixing angle ${\ensuremath{\theta}}_{13}$ at reactor experiments, which have confirmed previous indications in favor of ${\ensuremath{\theta}}_{13}>0$. Recent data presented at the Neutrino 2012 conference are also included. We focus on the correlations between ${\ensuremath{\theta}}_{13}$ and the mixing angle ${\ensuremath{\theta}}_{23}$, as well as between ${\ensuremath{\theta}}_{13}$ and the neutrino $CP$-violation phase $\ensuremath{\delta}$. We find interesting indications for ${\ensuremath{\theta}}_{23}<\ensuremath{\pi}/4$ and possible hints for $\ensuremath{\delta}\ensuremath{\sim}\ensuremath{\pi}$, with no significant difference between normal and inverted mass hierarchy.
