A new Super-Kamiokande (SK) search for Supernova Relic Neutrinos (SRNs) was conducted using 2853 live days of data. Sensitivity is now greatly improved compared to the 2003 SK result, which placed a flux limit near many theoretical predictions. This more detailed analysis includes a variety of improvements such as increased efficiency, a lower energy threshold, and an expanded data set. New combined upper limits on SRN flux are between 2.8 and 3.0νe cm −2 s −1 > 16 MeV total positron energy (17.3 MeV Eν).

The results of the third phase of the Super-Kamiokande solar neutrino measurement are presented and compared to the first and second phase results. With improved detector calibrations, a full detector simulation, and improved analysis methods, the systematic uncertainty on the total neutrino flux is estimated to be ±2.1%, which is about two thirds of the systematic uncertainty for the first phase of Super-Kamiokande. The observed 8 B solar flux in the 5.0 to 20 MeV total electron energy region is 2.32± 0.04 (stat.) ± 0.05 (sys.) ×10 6 cm −2 sec −1 under the assumption of pure electron-flavor content, in agreement with previous measurements. A combined oscillation analysis 2 is carried out using SK-I, II, and III data, and the results are also combined with the results of other solar neutrino experiments. The best-fit oscillation parameters are obtained to be sin 2 θ12 = 0.30 by adding KamLAND result. In a three-flavor analysis combining all solar neutrino experiments, the upper limit of sin 2 θ13 is 0.060 at 95% C.L.. After combination with KamLAND results, the upper limit of sin 2 θ13 is found to be 0.059 at 95% C.L..

An analysis of atmospheric neutrino data from all four run periods of Super-Kamiokande optimized for sensitivity to the neutrino mass hierarchy is presented. Confidence intervals for Δm 2 32 , sin 2 θ 23 , sin 2 θ 13 and δ CP are presented for normal neutrino mass hierarchy and inverted neutrino mass hierarchy hypotheses, based on atmospheric neutrino data alone. Additional constraints from reactor data on θ 13 and from published binned T2K data on muon neutrino disappearance and electron neutrino appearance are added to the atmospheric neutrino fit to give enhanced constraints on the above parameters. Over the range of parameters allowed at 90% confidence level, the normal mass hierarchy is favored by between 91.9% and 94.5% based on the combined Super-Kamiokande plus T2K result.
