6. Global neutrino oscillation analysis: status of unknown parameters, and future systematic challenges for ORCA and PINGU

We present the status of three-neutrino oscillations from a global data analysis, including a partial 2015 update, with emphasis on the unknown parameters: CP phase, $\theta_{23}$ octant, mass hierarchy. We also discuss the unprecedented challenges set by (non)parametric systematic uncertainties in hierarchy-sensitive experiments characterized by very high statistics, such as ORCA and PINGU.

Neutrinos created in interactions of Cosmic Rays with the atmosphere have already for a long time been exploited for measurements of several of the parameters characterizing neutrino oscillations. At low energies, around a few GeV, matter effects from the transition through the Earth are expected to imprint a distinct but also subtle signature on the oscillation pattern specific to the...

Very large volume neutrino telescopes observe atmospheric neutrinos over a wide energy range (GeV to TeV), after they travel distances as large as the Earth's diameter. DeepCore, the low energy extension of IceCube, has started making meaningful measurements of the neutrino oscillation parameters $\theta_{23}$ and $|\Delta m^2_{32}|$ by analyzing this flux. PINGU, a proposed extension to lower...
