Description

The long-baseline experiments measure neutrino oscillations in accelerator-produced muon neutrino and antineutrino beams to explore open questions about neutrino masses and mixing. The NOvA and T2K experiments are currently operational long-baseline experiments, while the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) and Hyper-Kamiokande (HK) are the next-generation experiments that will begin taking data towards the end of the decade.

In this talk, I will present the latest results from the NOvA and the T2K experiments and discuss the status and plans for the ongoing joint analysis of the NOvA and T2K data. The combined analysis of the NOvA and T2K data sets will provide a tighter statistical constraint and advantageous complementarity useful for breaking degeneracies in the individual measurements. DUNE and Hyper-K experiments present an excellent potential to discover charge-parity violation in the neutrino sector and are well-positioned to resolve the neutrino mass ordering. This talk will review the current landscape of long-baseline neutrino oscillation measurements and outline prospective milestones in the coming years.
