Abstract

The study of neutrino oscillations provides a unique window to physics beyond SM. There have been a lot of progress in the neutrino oscillation physics in the recent years. The mixing angle \(\theta _{13}\) is finally measured in 2012. To date, we know the value of all of the three mixing angles (\(\theta _{12},\theta _{23},\theta _{13}\)) and the mass splittings (\(\varDelta m_{12}^2,|\varDelta m_{32}^2|\)). However, the value of CP phase \(\delta _{CP}\) is still not known yet. In this thesis, we reported the measurement of \(\nu _{\mu }\rightarrow \nu _{e}\) oscillation. This oscillation mode is particularly important because it is sensitive to the value of \(\delta _{CP}\) and \(\theta _{13}\). There are two fundamental questions related to the measurement of neutrino oscillation. \(\bullet \) Is there a CP violation in the lepton sector? \(\bullet \) What is the physics behind the mixing pattern? Precise measurement of \(\nu _{\mu }\rightarrow \nu _{e}\) is essential to address these questions.
