Abstract
The moderately large measured value of θ13 signals a departure from the approximate two-flavor oscillation framework. As a consequence, the relation between the value of θ23 in nature, and the mixing angle measured in νμ disappearance experiments is nontrivial. In this paper, we calculate this relation analytically. We also derive the correct conversion between degenerate values of θ23 in the two octants. Through simulations of a νμ disappearance experiment, we show that there are observable consequences of not using the correct relation in calculating oscillation probabilities. These include a wrong best-fit value for θ23, and spurious sensitivity to the octant of θ23.
