We analyze with the Bayesian method the solar and KamLAND neutrino data in terms of neutrino oscillations. We show that Bayesian credible regions with a flat prior in the tan^2(theta12)--(Delta m^2)_21 plane strongly support the LMA solution, in agreement with the usual chi-square analysis. Other reasonable priors are considered in order to test the stability of the LMA solution. We show that priors which favor small or large values of the mixing angle lead to minor changes of the allowed LMA region, affecting mainly its large tan^2(theta12) part.

We investigate the potential of 3 kiloTon-years(kTy) of KamLAND data to further constrain the $Delta m^2$ and $tan^2theta$ values compared to those presently allowed by existing KamLAND and global solar data. We study the extent, dependence and chara cteristics of this sensitivity in and around the two parts of the LMA region that are currently allowed. Our analysis with 3 kTy simulated spectra shows that KamLAND spectrum data by itself can constrain $Delta m^2$ with high precision. Combining the spectrum with global solar data further tightens the constraints on allowed values of $tan^2theta$ and $Delta m^2$. We also study the effects of future neutral current data with a total error of 7% from the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory. We find that these future measurements offer the potential of considerable precision in determining the oscillation parameters (specially the mass parameter).
In this work we have re-investigated two different kinds of texture zero ansatz of the low energy neutrino mass matrix in view of the Dark-Large-Mixing-Angle (DLMA) solution of the solar neutrino problem which can arise in the presence of non-standar d interactions. In particular we revisit the cases of (i) one zero mass matrices when the lowest neutrino mass is zero and (ii) one zero texture with a vanishing minor. In our study we find that for most of the cases, the texture zero conditions which are allowed for the LMA solution, are also allowed for the DLMA solution. However, we found two textures belonging to the case of one zero texture with a vanishing minor where LMA solution does not give a viable solution whereas DLMA solution does. We analyze all the possible texture zero cases belonging to these two kinds of texture zero structures in detail and present correlations between different parameters. We also present the predictions for the effective neutrino mass governing neutrino-less double beta decay for the allowed textures.

We analyze the existing solar neutrino experiment data and show the allowed regions. The result from SNOs salt phase itself restricts quite a lot the allowed regions area. Reactor neutrinos play an important role in determining oscillation parameters . KamLAND gives decisive conclusion on the solution to the solar neutrino puzzle, in particular, the spectral distortion in the 766.3 Ty KamLAND data gives another new improvement in the constraint of solar MSW-LMA solutions. We confirm that at 99.73% C.L. the high-LMA solution is excluded.
We analyze the effect of the Dark-large mixing angle (DLMA) solution on the effective Majorana mass ($m_{betabeta}$) governing neutrino-less double beta decay ($0 ubetabeta$) in the presence of a sterile neutrino. We consider the 3+1 picture, compris ing of one additional sterile neutrino. We have checked that the MSW resonance in the sun can take place in the DLMA parameter space in this scenario. Next we investigate how the values of the solar mixing angle $theta_{12}$ corresponding to the DLMA region alter the predictions of $m_{betabeta}$ including a sterile neutrino in the analysis. We also compare our results with three generation cases for both standard large mixing angle (LMA) and DLMA. Additionally, we evaluate the discovery sensitivity of the future ${}^{136}Xe$ experiments in this context.
