Abstract

A bstract We present results of a combined analysis in neutrino oscillations without unitarity assumption in the 3 ν mixing picture. Constraints on neutrino mixing matrix elements are based on recent data from the reactor, solar and long-baseline accelerator neutrino oscillation experiments. The current data are consistent with the standard 3 ν scheme. The precision on different matrix elements can be as good as a few percent at 3 σ CL, and is mainly limited by the experimental statistical uncertainty. The ν e related elements are the most precisely measured among all sectors with the uncertainties &lt; 20%. The measured leptonic CP violation is very close to the one assuming the standard 3 ν mixing. The deviations on normalization and the unitarity triangle closure are confined within $$ \mathcal{O} $$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mml:mi>O</mml:mi></mml:math> (10 − 3 ), $$ \mathcal{O} $$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mml:mi>O</mml:mi></mml:math> (10 − 2 ) and $$ \mathcal{O} $$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mml:mi>O</mml:mi></mml:math> (10 − 1 ), for ν e , ν μ and ν τ sectors, respectively. We look forward to the next-generation neutrino oscillation experiments such as DUNE, T2HK, and JUNO, especially the precision measurements on ν τ oscillations, to significantly improve the precision of unitarity test on the 3 ν mixing matrix.
