Description

Assuming three neutrinos, the neutrino oscillation mixing parameters are extracted from a global analysis of the Super-K atmospheric, MINOS disappearance and appearance neutrino, CHOOZ, T2K, KamLAND, and all solar data. MINOS anti-neutrino data is not included. The full oscillation probabilities are used so that we can address the question of the sign of theta_13. How to extract the allowed confidence level regions without assuming Gaussian statistics is explain. The probability that theta_13 is negative will be given, as well as the probability that Double CHOOZ and Daya Bay will measure a non-zero value of theta_13. Correlations between theta_13 and theta_23 will be examined.
