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.

  1. Impact of matter effects on the unitarity test of lepton mixing

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    The authors examine extraction of lepton mixing matrix elements from spectral data in neutrino oscillation experiments including matter effects and test unitarity via a vanishing quantity in a four-generation model.

  2. A non-unitary solar constraint for long-baseline neutrino experiments

    hep-ph 2024-01 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    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.

  3. Update on non-unitary mixing in the recent NO$\nu$A and T2K data

    hep-ph 2024-12 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    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.
