Non-unitary neutrino mixing in the light neutrino sector is a direct consequence of type-I seesaw neutrino mass models. In these models, light neutrino mixing is described by a sub-matrix of the full lepton mixing matrix and, then, it is not unitary in general. In consequence, neutrino oscillations are characterized by additional parameters, including new sources of CP violation. Here we perform a combined analysis of short and long-baseline neutrino oscillation data in this extended mixing scenario. We did not find a significant deviation from unitary mixing, and the complementary data sets have been used to constrain the non-unitarity parameters. We have also found that the T2K and NOvA tension in the determination of the Dirac CP-phase is not alleviated in the context of non-unitary neutrino mixing.

When neutrino masses arise from the exchange of neutral heavy leptons, as in most seesaw schemes, the effective lepton mixing matrix $N$ describing neutrino propagation is non-unitary, hence neutrinos are not exactly orthonormal. New CP violation pha
ses appear in $N$ that could be confused with the standard phase $delta_{text{CP}}$ characterizing the three neutrino paradigm. We study the potential of the long-baseline neutrino experiment DUNE in probing CP violation induced by the standard CP phase in the presence of non-unitarity. In order to accomplish this we develop our previous formalism, so as to take into account the neutrino interactions with the medium, important in long baseline experiments such as DUNE. We find that the expected CP sensitivity of DUNE is somewhat degraded with respect to that characterizing the standard unitary case. However the effect is weaker than might have been expected thanks mainly to the wide neutrino beam. We also investigate the sensitivity of DUNE to the parameters characterizing non-unitarity. In this case we find that there is no improvement expected with respect to the current situation, unless the near detector setup is revamped.
The results obtained by several experiments on atmospheric neutrino oscillations are summarized and discussed. Then the results obtained by different long baseline neutrino experiments are considered. Finally conclusions and perspectives are made.
Future neutrino-oscillation experiments are expected to bring definite answers to the questions of neutrino-mass hierarchy and violation of charge-parity symmetry in the lepton sector. To realize this ambitious program it is necessary to ensure a sig
nificant reduction of uncertainties, particularly those related to neutrino-energy reconstruction. In this paper, we discuss different sources of systematic uncertainties, paying special attention to those arising from nuclear effects and detector response. By analyzing nuclear effects we show the importance of developing accurate theoretical models, capable to provide quantitative description of neutrino cross sections, together with the relevance of their implementation in Monte Carlo generators and extensive testing against lepton-scattering data. We also point out the fundamental role of efforts aiming to determine detector responses in test-beam exposures.
Environmental decoherence of oscillating neutrinos of strength $Gamma = (2.3 pm 1.1) times 10^{-23}$ GeV can explain how maximal $theta_{23}$ mixing observed at 295 km by T2K appears to be non-maximal at longer baselines. As shown recently by R. Oliv
eira, the MSW matter effect for neutrinos is altered by decoherence: In normal (inverted) mass hierarchy, a resonant enhancement of $ u_{mu} (bar{ u}_{mu}) rightarrow u_{e} (bar{ u}_{e})$ occurs for $6 < E_{ u} < 20$ GeV. Thus decoherence at the rated strength may be detectable as an excess of charged-current $ u_{e}$ events in the full $ u_{mu}$ exposures of MINOS+ and OPERA.
We study the possibility of determining the octant of the neutrino mixing angle $theta_{23}$, that is, whether $theta_{23}> 45^circ$ or $theta_{23}<45^circ$, in long baseline neutrino experiments. Here we numerically derived the sensitivity limits wi
thin which these experiments can determine, by measuring the probability of the $ u_{mu}to u_{e}$ transitions, the octant of $theta_{23}$ with a $5sigma$ certainty. The interference of the CP violation angle $delta$ with these limits, as well as the effects of the baseline length and the run-time ratio of neutrino and antineutrino modes of the beam have been analyzed.
