Neutrino physics has come a long way and made great strides in the past decades. We discuss the prospects of what more can be learned in this field in the forthcoming neutrino oscillation facilities. We will mostly focus on the potential of the long-baseline experiments and the atmospheric neutrino experiments. Sensitivity of these experiments to standard neutrino oscillation parameters will be presented. We will also discuss the prospects of new physics searches at these facilities.

We analyze the solar, terrestrial and atmospheric neutrino experiments including SuperKamiokande data using the three-flavor neutrinos framework and obtain the allowed region for parameters [Formula: see text]. In solar neutrino experiments, we obtain the large angle solution [Formula: see text] and small angle solution (3×10-6-1.2×10-5 eV 2, 0.003-0.01) for θ13=0°-20°. From the terrestrial and atmospheric neutrino experiments including the sub-GeV and multi-GeV zenith angle dependence in SuperKamiokande 535 days data, we found that the νμ-ντ mixing is large and the range of [Formula: see text] as 0.02~0.0002  eV 2. There is no significant difference between large θ12 angle solution and small one.

Atmospheric neutrinos are produced as decay products in hadronic showers resulting from collisions of cosmic rays with nuclei in the atmosphere. Electron-neutrinos and muon-neutrinos are produced mainly by the decay chain of charged pions to muons to electrons. Atmospheric neutrino experiments observed zenith angle and energy-dependent deficit of muon-neutrino events. It was found that neutrino oscillations between muon-neutrinos and tau-neutrinos explain these data well. This paper discusses atmospheric neutrino experiments and the neutrino oscillation studies with these neutrinos.
