Precise determination of the least well known mixing angle of PMNS matrix, 13, is essential for future measurements of CP-violation in the lepton sector. The Daya Bay reactor neutrino experiment is designed to determine 13 with a sensitivity of 0.01 or better in sin2213.The experiment is located in southern China, near the Daya Bay nuclear power plant. The designed sensitivity is based on...

The T2K (Tokai to Kamioka) long-baseline neutrino experiment searches for the appearance of electron neutrinos in a 0.7 GeV muon neutrino beam as it travels 295km between Tokai, Japan and the Super-Kamiokande detector. The rate of this process is sensitive to the neutrino mixing angle theta-13 and the CP-violating phase delta of the PMNS mixing matrix. A sophisticated suite of beam monitors...

Neutrino oscillation experiments give clear evidences that neutrinos mix and have non-zero masses. The value of the neutrino mass scale is very important for cosmology and the evolution of the universe as well as for nuclear and particle physics. The determination of the neutrino masses is being addressed by the analysis of cosmological data, by the search for neutrinoless double beta decay...
