In this work we investigate the sensitivity to the neutrino mass hierarchy, the octant of the mixing angle $theta_{23}$ and the CP phase $delta_{CP}$ in the future long-baseline experiments T2HK and DUNE as well as in the atmospheric neutrino observation at Hyperkamiokande (HK). We show for the first time that the sensitivity is enhanced greatly if we combine these three experiments. Our results show that the hierarchy sensitivity of both T2HK and HK are limited due to the presence of parameter degeneracy. But this degeneracy is removed when T2HK and HK are added together. With T2HK+HK (DUNE), the neutrino mass hierarchy can be determined at least at $ 5 sigma$ (8 $sigma$) C.L. for any value of true $delta_{CP}$. With T2HK+HK+DUNE the significance of the mass hierarchy increases to almost 15 $sigma$ for the unfavorable value of $delta_{CP}$. For these combined setup, octant can be resolved except $43.5^circ < theta_{23} < 48^circ$ at $5sigma$ C.L for both the hierarchies irrespective of the value of $delta_{CP}$. The significance of CP violation is around 10 $sigma$ C.L. for $delta_{CP} sim pm 90^circ$. Apart from that these combined facility has the capability to discover CP violation for at least $68%$ fraction of the true $delta_{CP}$ values at $5 sigma$ for any value of true $theta_{23}$. We also find that, with combination of all these three, the precision of $Delta m^2_{{rm eff}}$, $sin^2theta_{23}$ and $delta_{CP}$ becomes 0.3%, 2% and 20% respectively. We also clarify how the octant degeneracy occurs in the HK atmospheric neutrino experiment.

In this talk we present our results on the sensitivity to the neutrino mass hierarchy, the octant of the mixing angle and the CP phase in the future long baseline experiments T2HK and DUNE as well as in the atmospheric neutrino observation at Hyperkamiokande (HK).
We explore the complementarity between LHC searches and neutrino experiments in probing neutrino non-standard interactions. Our study spans the theoretical frameworks of effective field theory, simplified model and an illustrative UV completion, high lighting the synergies and distinctive features in all cases. We show that besides constraining the allowed NSI parameter space, the LHC data can break important degeneracies present in oscillation experiments such as DUNE, while the latter play an important role in probing light and weakly coupled physics undetectable at the LHC.
The KM3NeT/ORCA sensitivity to atmospheric neutrino oscillation is presented. The event reconstruction, selection and classification are described. The sensitivity to determine the neutrino mass ordering was evaluated and found to be 4.4 $sigma$ if t he true ordering is normal and 2.3 $sigma$ if inverted, after three years of data taking. The precision to measure $Delta m^2_{32}$ and $theta_{23}$ were also estimated and found to be $85cdot10^{-6}$ eV$^2$ and $(^{+1.9}_{-3.1})^{circ}$ for normal neutrino mass ordering and, $75cdot10^{-6}$ eV$^2$ and $(^{+2.0}_{-7.0})^{circ}$ for inverted ordering. Finally, a unitarity test of the leptonic mixing matrix by measuring the rate of tau neutrinos is described. Three years of data taking were found to be sufficient to exclude $ u_{tau}$ and $bar{ u}_{tau}$ event rate variations larger than 20% at 3$sigma$ level.
We present a measurement of neutrino oscillations via atmospheric muon neutrino disappearance with three years of data of the completed IceCube neutrino detector. DeepCore, a region of denser instrumentation, enables the detection and reconstruction of atmospheric muon neutrinos between 10 GeV and 100 GeV, where a strong disappearance signal is expected. The detector volume surrounding DeepCore is used as a veto region to suppress the atmospheric muon background. Neutrino events are selected where the detected Cherenkov photons of the secondary particles minimally scatter, and the neutrino energy and arrival direction are reconstructed. Both variables are used to obtain the neutrino oscillation parameters from the data, with the best fit given by $Delta m^2_{32}=2.72^{+0.19}_{-0.20}times 10^{-3},mathrm{eV}^2$ and $sin^2theta_{23} = 0.53^{+0.09}_{-0.12}$ (normal mass hierarchy assumed). The results are compatible and comparable in precision to those of dedicated oscillation experiments.
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.
