Neutrino mass and mixing
In this talk I will present a see-saw A4 model for Tri-Bimaximal mixing which is based on a very economical flavour symmetry and field content and still possesses all the good features of A4 models. In particular the charged lepton mass hierarchies are determined by the A4 x Z4 flavour symmetry itself without invoking a Froggatt-Nielsen U(1) symmetry. Tri-Bimaximal mixing is exact in leading...

Neutrino mass and mixing
OPERA is a long-baseline neutrino experiment dedicated to the study
of muon-neutrino to tau-neutrino oscillation. Using the high-energy
CERN to LNGS beam (CNGS), it is the first experiment looking
directly for tau-neutrino appearance from oscillation of muon-neutrinos. Runs with CNGS neutrinos are carried out successfully since 2008. After a brief introduction on the OPERA hybrid detector...

Neutrino mass and mixing
The OPERA neutrino detector is an hybrid detector. It consists of a target of bricks made of lead plates
interleaved with nuclear emulsion films with micron resolution and electronic detectors (ED) to select
the brick containing a neutrino interaction, to time stamp an event, and to measure the momentum and
the charge in a magnetic spectrometer for particles leaving the target. The main...

Neutrino mass and mixing
The long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment T2K, which uses a high intensity
off-axis muon neutrino beam produced at JPARC, aims at a discovery of oscillation of muon neutrinos into electron neutrinos and measurement of the mixing angle \theta_13, a key parameter for further search of CP violation in the lepton sector. T2K is also designed to precisely measure the oscillation...
