Title: CPT violating neutrinos in the light of KamLAND
Authors: G. Barenboim, L. Borissov, and J. Lykken
Comments: 14 pages, 4 figures
Report-no: FERMILAB-Pub-02/329-T

The KamLAND collaboration has observed a medium baseline oscillation signal for reactor antineutrinos. We show that a hierarchical CPT violating neutrino spectrum can simultaneously accommodate the oscillation data from LSND, atmospheric, solar and KamLAND, as well as the nonobservation of antineutrino disappearance in short baseline reactor experiments. In our scenario the KamLAND experiment is not observing an LMA solar oscillation signal. Instead the KamLAND oscillation signal is due to an independent mass splitting in the antineutrino spectrum. A larger antineutrino mass splitting accounts for the LSND signal and also contributes to atmospheric oscillations.

Title: KamLAND and solar neutrino data eliminate the LOW solution
Authors: V. Barger, D. Marfatia
Comments: 6 pages, 2 figures
Report-no: MADPH-02-1315
\\
The KamLAND reactor antineutrino experiment has detected a 3.4\sigma flux suppression relative to the expectation if no neutrino oscillations occur. We combine KamLAND data with solar neutrino data and show that the LMA solution is the only viable oscillation solution to the solar neutrino problem at the 4.4\sigma C. L.

We analyze the energy spectrum of reactor neutrino events recently observed in the Kamioka Liquid scintillator Anti-Neutrino Detector (KamLAND) and combine them with solar and terrestrial neutrino data, in the context of two- and three-family active neutrino oscillations. In the 2-neutrino case, we find that the solution to the solar neutrino problem at large mixing angle (LMA) is basically split into two sub-regions, that we denote as LMA-I and LMA-II. The LMA-I solution, characterized by lower values of the squared neutrino mass gap, is favored by the global data fit. This picture is not significantly modified in the 3-neutrino mixing case. A brief discussion is given about the discrimination of the LMA-I and LMA-II solutions with future KamLAND data. In both the 2- and 3-neutrino cases, we present a detailed analysis of the post-KamLAND bounds on the oscillation parameters.

Title: Combining first KamLAND results with solar neutrino data
Authors: M. Maltoni, T. Schwetz, J.W.F. Valle
Comments: 4 pages, LaTeX file using RevTEX4, 3 figures included
\\
We consider the impact of the recent KamLAND data on neutrino oscillations, the first terrestrial neutrino experiment that can probe the solar neutrino anomaly. By combining the first 145.1 days of KamLAND data with the full sample of latest solar neutrino data we find an enhanced rejection against non-LMA oscillations, allowed only with probability less than 1.4*10^-6 with respect to LMA. Furthermore, the new data have a strong impact in narrowing down the allowed range of Delta_m^2 inside the LMA region. In contrast, our global analysis indicates that the new data have little impact on the location of the best fit point. In particular the solar neutrino mixing remains significantly non-maximal (3 sigma).
