abstract
Neutrino oscillations are well established and the relevant parameters determined with good precision, except for the CP phase, in terms of a unitary lepton mixing matrix. Seesaw extensions of the Standard Model predict unitarity deviations due to the admixture of heavy isosinglet neutrinos. We provide a complete description of the unitarity and universality deviations in the light neutrino sector. Neutrino oscillation experiments involving electron or muon neutrinos and anti-neutrinos are fully described in terms of just three new real parameters and a new CP phase, in addition to the ones describing oscillations with unitary mixing. Using this formalism we describe the implications of non-unitarity for neutrino oscillations and summarize the model-independent constraints on heavy neutrino couplings that arise from current experiments.

Solar data constrains the non-unitary parameter (1-α11) to less than 0.046 at 99% credible interval, with strong correlation to the solar mass splitting.
Analysis of recent NOνA and T2K data under non-unitary mixing yields tighter 90% limits on non-unitary parameters than prior data and indicates that α10 could reduce the 1σ tension between experiments for normal hierarchy.
