A high-power neutrino superbeam experiment at the ESS facility has been proposed such that the source-detector distance falls at the second oscillation maximum, giving very good sensitivity towards establishing CP violation. In this work, we explore the comparative physics reach of the experiment in terms of leptonic CP-violation, precision on atmospheric parameters, non-maximal theta23, and its octant for a variety of choices for the baselines. We also vary the neutrino vs. the anti-neutrino running time for the beam, and study its impact on the physics goals of the experiment. We find that for the determination of CP violation, 540 km baseline with 7 years of neutrino and 3 years of anti-neutrino (7nu+3nubar) run-plan performs the best and one expects a 5sigma sensitivity to CP violation for 48% of true values of deltaCP. The projected reach for the 200 km baseline with 7nu+3nubar run-plan is somewhat worse with 5sigma sensitivity for 34% of true values of deltaCP. On the other hand, for the discovery of a non-maximal theta23 and its octant, the 200 km baseline option with 7nu+3nubar run-plan performs significantly better than the other baselines. A 5sigma determination of a non-maximal theta23 can be made if the true value of sin^2theta23 lesssim 0.45 or sin^2theta23 gtrsim 0.57. The octant of theta23 could be resolved at 5sigma if the true value of sin^2theta23 lesssim 0.43 or gtrsim 0.59, irrespective of deltaCP.

We do a re-analysis to asses the impact of the results of the Borexino experiment and the recent 2.8 KTy KamLAND data on the solar neutrino oscillation parameters. The current Borexino results are found to have no impact on the allowed solar neutrino
parameter space. The new KamLAND data causes a significant reduction of the allowed range of $Delta m^2_{21}$, determining it with an unprecedented precision of 8.3% at 3$sigma$. The precision of $Delta m^2_{21}$ is controlled practically by the KamLAND data alone. Inclusion of new KamLAND results also improves the upper bound on $sin^2theta_{12}$, but the precision of this parameter continues to be controlled by the solar data. The third mixing angle is constrained to be $sin^2theta_{13} < 0.063$ at $3sigma$ from a combined fit to the solar, KamLAND, atmospheric and CHOOZ results. We also address the issue of how much further reduction of allowed range of $Delta m^2_{21}$ and $sin^2theta_{12}$ is possible with increased statistics from KamLAND. We find that there is a sharp reduction of the $3sigma$ ``spread with enhanced statistics till about 10 KTy after which the spread tends to flatten out reaching to less than 4% with 15 KTy data. For $sin^2theta_{12}$ however, the spread is more than 25% even after 20 KTy exposure and assuming $theta_{12} < pi/4$, as dictated by the solar data. We show that with a KamLAND like reactor ``SPMIN experiment at a distance of $sim$ 60 km, the spread of $sin^2theta_{12}$ could be reduced to about 5% at $3sigma$ level while $Delta m_{21}^2$ could be determined to within 4%, with just 3 KTy exposure.
The standard three-neutrino (3nu) oscillation framework is being increasingly refined by results coming from different sets of experiments, using neutrinos from solar, atmospheric, accelerator and reactor sources. At present, each of the known oscill
ation parameters [the two squared mass gaps (delta m^2, Delta m^2) and the three mixing angles (theta_12}, theta_13, theta_23)] is dominantly determined by a single class of experiments. Conversely, the unknown parameters [the mass hierarchy, the theta_23 octant and the CP-violating phase delta] can be currently constrained only through a combined analysis of various (eventually all) classes of experiments. In the light of recent new results coming from reactor and accelerator experiments, and of their interplay with solar and atmospheric data, we update the estimated N-sigma ranges of the known 3nu parameters, and revisit the status of the unknown ones. Concerning the hierarchy, no significant difference emerges between normal and inverted mass ordering. A slight overall preference is found for theta_23 in the first octant and for nonzero CP violation with sin delta < 0; however, for both parameters, such preference exceeds 1 sigma only for normal hierarchy. We also discuss the correlations and stability of the oscillation parameters within different combinations of data sets.
The India-based Neutrino Observatory (INO) will host a 50 kt magnetized iron calorimeter (ICAL@INO) for the study of atmospheric neutrinos. Using the detector resolutions and efficiencies obtained by the INO collaboration from a full-detector GEANT4-
based simulation, we determine the reach of this experiment for the measurement of the atmospheric neutrino mixing parameters ($sin^2 theta_{23}$ and $|Delta m_{32}^2 |$). We also explore the sensitivity of this experiment to the deviation of $theta_{23}$ from maximal mixing, and its octant.
The main goal of the IceCube Deep Core Array is to search for neutrinos of astrophysical origins. Atmospheric neutrinos are commonly considered as a background for these searches. We show that the very high statistics atmospheric neutrino data can be
used to obtain precise measurements of the main oscillation parameters.
We explore the effects of nonstandard neutrino interactions in the lower components of the solar neutrino spectrum which are predominant by the vacuum oscillations. The recent measurements of Borexino experiment between 2011 and 2015 provide a clean
test to study the nonstandard neutrino interactions at the source (sun) and the at solar detector. In this work, first the possible standard model parameters are estimated from the combined data of the low energy regime and then the nonstandard effects at the source, at the detector, and from the interplay between source and detector parameters are bounded. The same effects are also investigated for the proposed experiments like LENA and Jinpin Neutrino Experiment with their projected sensitivities.
