Abstract

The discovery of neutrino oscillations and the large mixing parameters in the Pontecorvo Maki Nakagawa Sakata matrix has opened a window to search for CP-violation in neutrinos. Two long-baseline neutrino experiments, DUNE and Hyper-Kamiokande, are being prepared in the next decade to search for this CP-violation with intense beams of muon and anti-muon neutrinos. The JUNO experiment in China will study neutrino oscillations at medium baselines with several goals, including determining the mass ordering of the neutrinos by using the interference of matter effects with the vacuum neutrino oscillations. Short-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments have seen anomalies in their data that could either be explained by sterile neutrinos or new nuclear effects. Several experiments, including the Fermilab short baseline program, Prospect-II and JUNO-TAO are being planned to understand the source of these anomalies. This paper provides a short review of these exciting experiments that will lead to new discoveries in neutrino physics over the next decade.
