Abstract
We present an up-to-date global analysis of solar, atmospheric, reactor, and accelerator neutrino data in the framework of three-neutrino oscillations. We provide results on the determination of theta_13 from global data and discuss the dependence on the choice of reactor fluxes. We study in detail the statistical significance of a possible deviation of theta_23 from maximal mixing, the determination of its octant, the ordering of the mass states, and the sensitivity to the CP violating phase, and discuss the role of various complementary data sets in those respects.

The Double Chooz experiment presents an indication of reactor electron antineutrino disappearance consistent with neutrino oscillations, and an observed-to-predicted ratio of events of 0.944±0.016 and a deficit can be interpreted as a nonzero value of the still unmeasured neutrinos mixing parameter sin(2)2θ(13).
