In this paper, we perform a comparative analysis between the future proposed long-baseline experiments ESSnuSB and T2HK in measuring the leptonic CP phase $delta_{rm CP}$. In particular, we study the effect of the neutrino mass ordering degeneracy and the leptonic mixing angle $theta_{23}$ octant degeneracy in the measurement of leptonic CP violation and precision for both experiments. Since the ESSnuSB (T2HK) experiment probes the second (first) oscillation maximum to study neutrino oscillations, the effect of these degeneracies are significantly different in both experiments. Our main conclusion is that for the ESSnuSB experiment, the information on the neutrino mass ordering does not play a major role in the determination of $delta_{rm CP}$, which is not the case for the T2HK experiment. However, the information on the true octant compromises the CP sensitivity of the ESSnuSB experiment as compared to T2HK if $theta_{23}$ lies in the lower octant. These conclusions are true for both the 540~km and 360~km baseline options for the ESSnuSB experiment. In addition, we investigate the effect of different running times in neutrino and antineutrino modes and the effect of $theta_{23}$ precision in measuring $delta_{rm CP}$.

Leptogenesis is the most favourable mechanism for generating the observed baryon asymmetry of the Universe (BAU) which implies CP violation in the high energy scale. The low energy leptonic CP violation is expected to be observed in the neutrino osci llations and $0 u 2 beta$ decay experiments. Generally it is not possible to connect both the CP violations. Here we revisit the issue of connecting the two in flavoured leptogenesis scenario within the Type I seesaw in the light of recent neutrino oscillation and {it Planck} data. With the recent precise measurements of $theta_{13}$ and BAU we are able to find new correlations between the low and high energy CP violating phases when leptogenesis occurs at temperature between $10^9$ to $10^{12}$ GeV and there is no contribution to CP violation from the heavy neutrino sector.
Recently, the reactor mixing angle $theta_{13}$ has been measured precisely by Daya Bay, RENO and T2K experiments with a moderately large value. However, the standard form of neutrino mixing patterns such as bimaximal, tri-bimaximal, golden ratio of types A and B, hexagonal etc., which are based on certain flavor symmetries, predict vanishing $theta_{13}$. Using the fact that the neutrino mixing matrix can be represented as $V_{rm PMNS}=U_l^{dagger} U_ u P_ u$, where $U_l$ and $U_ u$ result from the diagonalization of the charged lepton and neutrino mass matrices and $P_ u$ is a diagonal matrix containing Majorana phases, we explore the possibility of accounting for the large reactor mixing angle by considering deviations both in the charged lepton and neutrino sector. In the charged lepton sector we consider the deviation as an additional rotation in the (12) and (13) planes, whereas in neutrino sector we consider deviations to various neutrino mixing patterns through (13) and (23) rotations. We find that with the inclusion of these deviations it is possible to accommodate the observed large reactor mixing angle $theta_{13}$, and one can also obtain limits on the CP violating Dirac phase $delta_{CP}$ and Jarlskog invariant $J_{CP}$ for most of the cases. We then explore whether our findings can be tested in the currently running NO$ u$A experiment with 3 years of data taking in neutrino mode followed by 3 years with anti-neutrino mode.
We study leptonic CP violation from a new perspective. For Majorana neutrinos, a new parametrization for leptonic mixing of the form $V=O_{23} O_{12} K_{a}^{i}cdot O$ reveals interesting aspects that are less clear in the standard parametrization. We identify several important scenario-cases with mixing angles in agreement with experiment and leading to large leptonic CP violation. If neutrinos happen to be quasi-degenerate, this new parametrization might be very useful, e.g., in reducing the number of relevant parameters of models.
With the recent measurement of reactor mixing angle $theta_{13}$ the knowledge of neutrino oscillation parameters that describe PMNS matrix has improved significantly except the CP violating phase $delta_{CP}$. The other unknown parameters in neutrin o oscillation studies are mass hierarchy and the octant of the atmospheric mixing angle $theta_{23}$. Many dedicated experiments are proposed to determine these parameters which may take at least 10 years from now to become operational. It is therefore very crucial to use the results from the existing experiments to see whether we can get even partial answers to these questions. In this paper we study the discovery potential of the ongoing NO$ u$A and T2K experiments as well as the forthcoming T2HK experiment in addressing these questions. In particular, we evaluate the sensitivity of NO$ u$A to determine neutrino mass hierarchy, octant degeneracy and to obtain CP violation phase after running for its scheduled period of 3 years in neutrino mode and 3 years in anti-neutrino mode. We then extend the analysis to understand the discovery potential if the experiments will run for (5$ u$+5$bar{ u}$) years and (7$ u$+3$bar{ u}$) years. We also show how the sensitivity improves when we combine the data from (3$ u$+3$bar{ u}$) years of NO$ u$A run with (3$ u$+2$bar{ u}$) years of T2K and (3$ u$+7$bar{ u}$) years of T2HK experiments. The CP violation sensitivity is marginal for T2K and NO$ u$A experiments even for ten years data taking of NO$ u$A. T2HK has a significance above 5$sigma$ for a fraction of two-fifth values of the $delta_{CP}$ space. We also find that $delta_{CP}$ can be determined to be better than $35^circ $, $21^circ $ and $9^circ $ for all values of $delta_{CP}$ for T2K, NO$ u$A and T2HK respectively.
We study the discovery potential for the mixing of heavy isospin-singlet neutrinos in extensions of the Tokai-to-Kamioka (T2K) experiment: The Tokai-to-Hyper-Kamiokande (T2HK), the Tokai-to-Hyper-Kamiokande-to-Korea (T2HKK), and a plan of adding a ne w detector at Oki Islands to the T2HK. We parametrize the mixing of heavy neutrinos in terms of a non-unitary mixing matrix acting on active flavors. It is shown that in the T2HK and T2HKK, the sensitivity to heavy neutrino mixing deteriorates for some values of $CP$-violating phases in the standard and the non-unitary mixing matrices, but the deterioration is drastically mitigated if a detector at Oki Islands is added to the T2HK. We also consider the feasibility of measuring the mass hierarchy and the standard $CP$-violating phase $delta_{CP}$ in the presence of heavy neutrino mixing, by fitting experimental data with the standard oscillation parameters only, i.e., under the assumption of unitary mixing. It is revealed that such measurement can be performed to some accuracy in the T2HKK and the extension of the T2HK with a detector at Oki Islands, owing to the fact that data with largely varying $L/E$ are collected in these experiments, while it cannot be in the T2HK.
