Atmospheric convergence zones stemming from large-scale mixing

High Scale Mixing Unification and Large Neutrino Mixing Angles

Starting with the hypothesis that quark and lepton mixings are identical at or near the GUT scale, we show that the large solar and atmospheric neutrino mixing angles together with the small reactor angle Ue3 can be understood purely as a result of renormalization group evolution provided the three neutrinos are quasi-degenerate and have same CP parity. It predicts the common Majorana mass for ...

Mnemonic Convergence: From Empirical Data to Large-Scale Dynamics

This study builds on the assumption that large-scale social phenomena emerge out of the interaction between individual cognitive mechanisms and social dynamics. Within this framework, we empirically investigated the propagation of memory effects (retrieval induced forgetting and practice effects) through sequences of social interactions. We found that the influence a public figure has on an ind...

Generalized Neutrino Mixing from the Atmospheric Anomaly

We determine the neutrino mixing and mass parameters that are allowed by the Super–Kamiokande atmospheric neutrino data in a three–neutrino model with one mass–squared difference contributing to the oscillations. We find that although νμ → ντ oscillations are favored, νμ → νe oscillations with amplitude as large as 0.18 are allowed even after accounting for the limit from the CHOOZ reactor expe...

Mixing zones in magnetized differentially rotating stars

We study the secular instability of magnetized differentially rotating radiative zones taking account of viscosity and magnetic and thermal diffusivities. The considered instability generalizes the well-known Goldreich-Schubert-Fricke instability for the case of a sufficiently strong nagnetic field. In magnetized stars, instability can lead to a formation of non-spherical unstable zones where w...
