Description

Long-baseline neutrino experiments use neutrino beams produced at
accelerators to study the oscillation of neutrino flavours as they
traverse hundreds of kilometers between the primary beam target and a
far detector. Current long-baseline experiments have the world's best
sensitivity to the neutrino mixing angle theta_23 and the mass
splitting dm²_32. They additionally provide the only available data
about the complex phase of the PMNS matrix that is a source of CP
violation in the neutrino sector. In this review talk I will examine
the methodology and results from long-baseline experiments and discuss
future prospects.
