Recent status of accelerator neutrino experiments

Abstract

Recent results of accelerator neutrino experiments are reviewed with emphasis on facilities and instrumentations. The progress in neutrino physics in last two decades has been made possible in large part by large underground facilities, which were motivated for the experimental search of phenomena associated with Grand Unified Theories, such as proton decay. At present, the experimental results on neutrino oscillation in atmospheric, solar, reactor and accelerator neutrinos are consistent with three generation neutrinos. The measurements of the last of the three mixing angles, CP-violation phase and mass hierarchy of the mass eigen-states will be the main topics in the next generation accelerator neutrino experiments.
