Description
Long-baseline experiments measure neutrino oscillations in accelerator produced muon neutrino and antineutrino beams to explore open questions about neutrino masses and mixing. These experiments continue to provide a rich environment to explore fundamental physics, specifically for determining the neutrino mass ordering, searching for the potential charge-parity violation in the lepton sector, and making precision measurements to probe the unitarity of the three-flavor neutrino paradigm.
The NOvA and T2K experiments are currently operational long-baseline experiments in the US and Japan, respectively. In this talk, I will present the latest results from these experiments, providing a snapshot of the neutrino oscillation measurements. I will additionally discuss the details of the first-combined analysis of the datasets from the NOvA and the T2K experiments. This joint analysis utilizes the advantageous complementarity of the two experiments, which helps break degeneracies in the individual measurements. Additionally, I will highlight how the next-generation experiments, such as DUNE and Hyper-K are being designed to meet the target sensitivities needed to achieve these ambitious physics goals.
