Summary

Vacuum oscillation probabilities for electron (black), muon (blue) and tau (red) neutrinos for the following parameter values:

  • sin213 = 0.10 (If it turns out to be much smaller or zero, the small wiggles shown here will be much smaller or non-existent, respectively.)
  • sin223 = 0.97 (It may turn out to be exactly one.)
  • sin212 = 0.861.
  • δ = 0 (If it is actually large, these probabilities will be somewhat distorted and different for neutrinos and antineutrinos.)
  • Δm
    Sunda: p=2
    = Accepted name by KEW: 7.59.
  • Δm
    Sunda: p=2
    ≈ Δm
    Sunda: p=2
    = Accepted name by KEW: 2.32.
  • Normal mass hierarchy.
