| Abstract | |
In this thesis, we investigate several recent and relevant topics in neutrino physics. We have contributed to the analysis of the smallest mixing angle, omega13, and we have studied, in a probabilistic fashion, the consequent impact in the neutrinos mass matrix. In view of the last unknown oscillation parameter, the CP violation phase, we study an appropriate measure for experiments like T2K and NOvA, the CP exclusion fraction. Besides, we analyses the recent and older anomalies of short baseline neutrino oscillation experiments, performing the most complete and detailed global fit up to date. (AU) | |
