A brief review of recent results on neutrino oscillations from accelerator and reactor experiments is presented. Emphasis is placed on the indication of CP violation in neutrino oscillations obtained ...in long-baseline accelerator experiments. The latest results of a search for a sterile neutrino are discussed and the nearest-term prospects for long and short-baseline oscillation experiments are outlined.

The parameters of scintillator veto detectors that should be installed in an intermediate water Cherenkov detector of the Hyper-Kamiokande project have been measured. The veto detectors are disc ...scintillators with embedded wavelength-shifting fibers and with compact photosensors, i.e., silicon photomultipliers. It is shown that the detection efficiency of these detectors for cosmic muons is larger than 99%.
Recent results from long-baseline neutrino experiments are presented. Prospects for determining the mass hierarchy and observing CP violation in neutrino oscillations are discussed.

The neutrino on-axis and off-axis beam was studied in the near neutrino detector of the longbaseline experiment T2K: beam composition, long-term stability, and spatial asymmetry.
Totally active and magnetic segmented scintillation neutrino detectors are developed for the nextgeneration accelerator neutrino experiments. Such detectors will incorporate scintillation modules ...with scintillation counters that form
X
and
Y
planes. A single counter is a 7 × 10 × 90 mm
3
scintillation bar with gluedin wavelength-shifting fibers and micropixel avalanche photodiodes. The results of measurements of the parameters of these detectors are presented.
The T2K (Tokai-to-Kamioka) experiment is a long baseline neutrino oscillation experiment designed to probe the
θ

neutrino mixing parameter by looking for the appearance of

in an almost pure

beam. The concurrent measurement of the

disappearance allows refined measurements of the atmospheric Δ
