The Impact of Different Parameterizations on the Interpretation of CP Violation in Neutrino Oscillations

2020 
CP violation in the lepton mass matrix will be probed with good precision in upcoming experiments. The amount of CP violation can be quantified in numerous ways and is typically parameterized by the complex phase $\delta_{\rm PDG}$ in the standard PDG definition of the lepton mixing matrix. There are additional parameterizations of the lepton mixing matrix as well. Through various examples we explore how, given the current data, different parameterizations can lead to different conclusions when working with parameterization dependent variables, such as $\delta$. We demonstrate how the smallness of $|U_{e3}|$ governs the scale of these results. We then demonstrate how $\delta$ can be misleading and argue that the Jarlskog is the cleanest means of presenting the amount of CP violation in the lepton sector.
