Abstract
Studies of neutrino oscillations hold the promise of revealing physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. With intense, well controlled neutrino sources and near detectors to constrain neutrino flux, cross sections, and backgrounds, long-baseline experiments play a leading role in these studies. The current generation of long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments measure electron neutrino appearance and muon neutrino disappearance in muon neutrino beams. Comparisons of the oscillation probability between neutrinos and antineutrinos rigorously test the physics behind neutrino oscillations, depend on the ordering of the neutrino masses, and could uncover charge-parity violation in the neutrino sector. Resolving the order of the masses of the neutrinos is important to understanding the nature of neutrino mass, while violation of the charge-parity symmetry might explain the observed excess of matter over antimatter in our Universe. In this talk, we will review recent results from the long-baseline neutrino experiments, NOvA and T2K.
