In study of muon neutrino disappearance at 810 km, the NOvA experiment finds flavor mixing of the atmospheric sector to deviate from maximal ($sin^2theta_{23} = 0.5$) by 2.6 $sigma$. The result is in tension with the 295-km baseline measurements of T2K which are consistent with maximal mixing. We propose that $theta_{23}$ is in fact maximal, and that the disagreement is harbinger of environmentally-induced decoherence. The departure from maximal mixing can be accounted for by an energy-independent decoherence of strength $Gamma = (2.3 pm 1.1) times 10^{-23}$ GeV.
This Letter reports new results on muon neutrino disappearance from NOvA, using a 14 kton detector equivalent exposure of $6.05times10^{20}$ protons-on-target from the NuMI beam at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. The measurement probes the
Considerable information has been obtained about neutrino mixing matrix. Present data show that in the particle data group (PDG) parameterization, the 2-3 mixing angle and the CP violating phase are consistent with $theta_{23} = pi/4$ and $delta_{PDG
Present global fits of world neutrino data hint towards non-maximal $theta_{23}$ with two nearly degenerate solutions, one in the lower octant ($theta_{23} <pi/4$), and the other in the higher octant ($theta_{23} >pi/4$). This octant ambiguity of $th
Among all neutrino mixing parameters, the atmospheric neutrino mixing angle theta_{23} introduces the strongest variation on the flux ratios of ultra high energy neutrinos. We investigate the potential of these flux ratio measurements at neutrino tel
We investigate the prospects for determining the octant of $theta_{23}$ in the future long baseline oscillation experiments. We present our results as contour plots on the ($theta_{23}-45^circ$, $delta$)--plane, where $delta$ is the CP phase, showing
