A three generation oscillation analysis of the Super-Kamiokande   atmospheric neutrino data beyond one mass scale dominance approximation
  In this paper we do a three-generation oscillation analysis of the latest (848 days) Super-Kamiokande (SK) atmospheric neutrino data going beyond the one mass scale dominance (OMSD) approximation. We fix $\Delta_{12} = \Delta_{13}$ ($\Delta_{LSND}$) in the range 0.5 - 2 eV$^2$ as allowed by the results from LSND and other accelerator and reactor experiments on neutrino oscillation and keep $\Delta_{23}$ ($\Delta_{ATM}$) and the three mixing angles as free parameters. In such a scenario, the oscillation probabilities for the accelerator and reactor neutrinos involve only two of the mixing angles   $\theta_{12}$ and $\theta_{13}$ and one mass scale. But the atmospheric neutrino oscillation is in general governed by both mass scales and all the three mixing angles. The higher mass scale gives rise to $\Delta m^2$ independent average oscillations for atmospheric neutrinos and does not enter the $\chi^2$ analysis as an independent parameter. The $\Delta_{23}$ and the three mixing angles on the other hand appear as independent parameters in the $\chi^2$ analysis and the best-fit values of these are determined from an analysis of a) the SK data, b) the SK and CHOOZ data. The allowed values of the mixing angles $\theta_{12}$ and $\theta_{13}$ from the above analysis are compared with the constraints from LSND and other accelerator and reactor experiments. Implications for future long baseline experiments are discussed.
