AbstractAbstract
[en] The results of the third phase of the Super-Kamiokande solar neutrino measurement are presented and compared to the first and second phase results. With improved detector calibrations, a full detector simulation, and improved analysis methods, the systematic uncertainty on the total neutrino flux is estimated to be ±2.1%, which is about two thirds of the systematic uncertainty for the first phase of Super-Kamiokande. The observed 8B solar flux in the 5.0 to 20 MeV total electron energy region is 2.32±0.04(stat)±0.05(sys)x106 cm-2 sec-1 under the assumption of pure electron-flavor content, in agreement with previous measurements. A combined oscillation analysis is carried out using SK-I, II, and III data, and the results are also combined with the results of other solar neutrino experiments. The best-fit oscillation parameters are obtained to be sin2θ12=0.30-0.01+0.02(tan2θ12=0.42-0.02+0.04) and Δm212=6.2-1.9+1.1x10-5 eV2. Combined with KamLAND results, the best-fit oscillation parameters are found to be sin2θ12=0.31±0.01(tan2θ12=0.44±0.03) and Δm212=7.6±0.2x10-5 eV2. The 8B neutrino flux obtained from global solar neutrino experiments is 5.3±0.2(stat+sys)x106 cm-2 s-1, while the 8B flux becomes 5.1±0.1(stat+sys)x106 cm-2 s-1 by adding KamLAND results. In a three-flavor analysis combining all solar neutrino experiments, the upper limit of sin2θ13 is 0.060 at 95% C.L.. After combination with KamLAND results, the upper limit of sin2θ13 is found to be 0.059 at 95% C.L.

AbstractAbstract
[en] We present a search for differences in the oscillations of antineutrinos and neutrinos in the Super-Kamiokande-I, -II, and -III atmospheric neutrino sample. Under a two-flavor disappearance model with separate mixing parameters between neutrinos and antineutrinos, we find no evidence for a difference in oscillation parameters. Best-fit antineutrino mixing is found to be at (Δm2,sin22θ)= (2.0x10-3 eV2,1.0) and is consistent with the overall Super-K measurement.

AbstractAbstract
[en] We present a search for nonzero θ13 and deviations of sin2θ23 from 0.5 in the oscillations of atmospheric neutrino data from Super-Kamiokande I, II, and III. No distortions of the neutrino flux consistent with nonzero θ13 are found and both neutrino mass hierarchy hypotheses are in agreement with the data. The data are best fit at Δm2=2.1x10-3 eV2, sin2θ13=0.0, and sin2θ23=0.5. In the normal (inverted) hierarchy θ13 and Δm2 are constrained at the one-dimensional 90% C.L. to sin2θ13<0.04(0.09) and 1.9(1.7)x10-3<Δm2<2.6(2.7)x10-3 eV2. The atmospheric mixing angle is within 0.407≤sin2θ23≤0.583 at 90% C.L.
