The maximum overproduction of helium-4 in cosmological nucleosynthesis with active--sterile neutrino oscillations, nu_e -> nu_s, efficient after decoupling of electron neutrino, is analyzed. The kinetic effects on primordial nucleosynthesis due to neutrino spectrum distortion, caused by oscillations, are precisely taken into account. The maximum overproduction of primordial He-4 as a function of oscillation parameters is obtained from the analysis of the kinetics of the nucleons and the oscillating neutrinos, for the full range of parameters of the discussed oscillation model. A maximum relative increase of He-4, up to 14% for non-resonant oscillations and up to 32% for resonant ones is registered. Cosmological constraints on oscillation parameters are also discussed.

It is noted that the crustal magnetic spectrum exhibits the signal from the partly correlated domain dipoles on the space-scale up to approximately 500 km. This suggests the nonzero correlation among the dynamical variables of the ferromagnetic magne
tization phenomenon on the small domain scale inside the earths crust also. Therefore the influence of the mean of the zero component of the polarization on the CP matter-induced violation indexes is discussed.
With the discovery of a modest size for the mixing angle $theta_{13} sim 9^circ$ by the Daya Bay collaboration at $>$5 sigma (cite{dayabay}) the science of neutrino oscillations has shifted to explicit demonstration of CP violation and precision dete
rmination of the CP phase in the 3-flavor framework. Any additional contributions from new physics to the oscillation channel $ u_mu to u_e$ could be uncovered by multiple constraints in the ($theta_{13}, delta_{CP}$) parameter space. In long-baseline experiments such constraints will require examination of the oscillation strength at higher $L/E$ where the effects of CP violation will be large. For the fixed baseline of 1300 km for the Long-Baseline Neutrino Experiment (LBNE, Fermilab to Homestake), it will be important to examine oscillations at low energies ($<1.5$ GeV) with good statistics, low backgrounds, and excellent energy resolution. The accelerator upgrades in the Project-X era have the potential to offer the beams of the needed intensity and quality for this advanced science program. In this paper we examine the event rates for high intensity, low energy running of Project-X and the Fermilab Main Injector complex, and the precision in the ($theta_{13}, delta_{CP}$) space. In this paper we have examined the baseline distance of 1300 km in detail, however we point out that much longer distances such as 2500 km should also be exmained with a beam from FNAL in light of the new understanding of the neutrino mixing.
The Leggett-Garg inequality, an analogue of Bells inequality involving correlations of measurements on a system at different times, stands as one of the hallmark tests of quantum mechanics against classical predictions. The phenomenon of neutrino osc
illations should adhere to quantum-mechanical predictions and provide an observable violation of the Leggett-Garg inequality. We demonstrate how oscillation phenomena can be used to test for violations of the classical bound by performing measurements on an ensemble of neutrinos at distinct energies, as opposed to a single neutrino at distinct times. A study of the MINOS experiments data shows a greater than $6{sigma}$ violation over a distance of 735 km, representing the longest distance over which either the Leggett-Garg inequality or Bells inequality has been tested.
We have modified the standard code for primordial nucleosynthesis to include the effect of the slight heating of neutrinos by $e^pm$ annihilations. There is a small, systematic change in the $^4$He yield, $Delta Y simeq +1.5times 10^{-4}$, which is i
nsensitive to the value of the baryon-to-photon ratio $eta$ for $10^{-10}la eta la 10^{-9}$. We also find that the baryon-to-photon ratio decreases by about 0.5% less than the canonical factor of 4/11 because some of the entropy in $e^pm$ pairs is transferred to neutrinos. These results are in accord with recent analytical estimates.
Light element synthesis in supernovae through neutrino-nucleus interactions, i.e., the nu-process, is affected by neutrino oscillations in the supernova environment. There is a resonance of 13-mixing in the O/C layer, which increases the rates of cha
rged-current nu-process reactions in the outer He-rich layer. The yields of 7Li and 11B increase by about a factor of 1.9 and 1.3, respectively, for a normal mass hierarchy and an adiabatic 13-mixing resonance, compared to those without neutrino oscillations. In the case of an inverted mass hierarchy and a non-adiabatic 13-mixing resonance, the increase in the 7Li and 11B yields is much smaller. Observations of the 7Li/11B ratio in stars showing signs of supernova enrichment could thus provide a unique test of neutrino oscillations and constrain their parameters and the mass hierarchy.
