In order to make precision measurements of GeV-scale neutrino oscillations a detailed understanding of both GeV-scale neutrino-nucleon scattering cross sections and nuclear effects are essential. To achieve this, many of the latest analyses at the T2K off-axis near detector (ND280) complement existing results by utilising new techniques to measure muon neutrino charged-current interactions without pions in the final state (CC0$pi$ interactions). These techniques include water subtraction to obtain a double-differential cross section on oxygen and measurements of differential cross sections using proton kinematics or composite proton-muon variables (such as single transverse kinematic imbalance). In this work these latest CC0$pi$ measurements are presented with a view to demonstrating their potential to provide complementary precision cross-section measurements and innovative probes of nuclear effects.}

Thank to the stable operation at intense beam power, T2K data with neutrino-mode operation almost doubled in one year. A number of critical improvements to the oscillation analysis have been introduced and resulted in an unprecedented level of sensitivity in searching for CP violation in the neutrino sector. T2K firstly reports that the CP-conserving values of parameter $delta_{CP}$ in the PMNS mixing matrix fall out of its 2$sigma$ C.L. measured range.
The Dafne Frascati phi factory has continously improved its performances reaching in 2002 an instantaneous luminosity of 8x10^31 cm-2 s-1. The DEAR experiment, concluded in 2002, has measured the de-excitation of kaonic atoms. The KLOE experiment, still running, has measured several branching ratios for neutral and charged kaons decays, rho, eta, eta, a0 and f0 mesons parameters and, via the radiative return, the e+e- -> pi+pi- cross section. Preliminary and final results are presented.
The Borexino experiment, located in the Gran Sasso National Laboratory, is an organic liquid scintillator detector conceived for the real time spectroscopy of low energy solar neutrinos. The data taking campaign phase I (2007 - 2010) has allowed the first independent measurements of 7Be, 8B and pep fluxes as well as the first measurement of anti-neutrinos from the earth. After a purification of the scintillator, Borexino is now in phase II since 2011. We review here the recent results achieved during 2013, concerning the seasonal modulation in the 7Be signal, the study of cosmogenic backgrounds and the updated measurement of geo-neutrinos. We also review the upcoming measurements from phase II data (pp, pep, CNO) and the project SOX devoted to the study of sterile neutrinos via the use of a 51Cr neutrino source and a 144Ce-144Pr antineutrino source placed in close proximity of the active material.
The T2K collaboration has recently reported their results, which gives the best-fit values of the atmospheric mixing angle $sin^2 theta_{23} = 0.53$ and the Dirac CP-violating phase $delta = -1.89$ for normal neutrino mass ordering. We give a possible theoretical origin of such values based on the $mu$-$tau$ reflection symmetry. It has been found that the breaking of such symmetry using one-loop renormalization-group equations (RGEs) in the framework of minimal supersymmetric standard model can fit well with the latest T2K results and the recent global fits. To make a quantitative analysis, we have included for the first time the complete dataset of oscillation, beta decay, neutrinoless double-beta decay and cosmological observations in comparing the theory to experiments. We also further examine the importance of such breaking patterns for neutrinoless double-beta decay experiments.
The NA60 experiment has measured the production of muon pairs and of charged particles in In+In collisions at a beam energy of 158 AGeV. For invariant dimuon masses below the phi the space-time averaged rho spectral function was isolated by a novel procedure. It shows a strong broadening but essentially no shift in mass. The production of J/psi was measured as a function of the collision centrality. As in previous experiments studying Pb+Pb collisions an anomalous supression is observed, setting in at approximately 90 participant nucleons. Using the charged particles the reaction plane was reconstructed. The elliptic flow of charged particles increases with pt showing a saturation for pt > 2GeV/c. For the first time azimuthal distributions for J/psi are shown.
