Reconciling solar and terrestrial neutrino oscillation evidences with minimum sacrifice

Abstract

The present possible evidences in favor of neutrino masses and mixings from solar, atmospheric, and accelerator experiments cannot be all reconciled in a three-family framework, unless some data are excluded. We grade all possible three-family scenarios according to their compatibility with the available data. A recently proposed scenario appears to emerge naturally as the most likely solution to all oscillation evidences, with the only exception of the angular dependence of multi-GeV atmospheric data in the Kamiokande experiment. We describe in detail the status and the phenomenological implications of this ``minimum sacrifice'' solution.
