Seesaw extensions of the Standard Model predict unitarity deviations due to the admixture of heavy isosinglet neutrinos. We provide a complete description of the unitarity and universality deviations in the light-neutrino sector. Neutrino oscillation experiments involving electron or muon neutrinos and antineutrinos are fully described in terms of just three new real parameters and a new CP phase, in addition to the ones describing oscillations with unitary mixing. Using this formalism we describe the implications of nonunitarity for neutrino oscillations and summarize the model-independent constraints on heavy-neutrino couplings that arise from current experiments.", optnote="WOS:000361303200003", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=2389), last updated on Thu, 03 Mar 2016 16:36:22 +0000", issn="1550-7998", doi="10.1103/PhysRevD.92.053009", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1503.08879", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.92.053009", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1503.08879", language="English" }
