Neutrino masses and mass hierarchy: evidence for the normal hierarchy
نویسندگان
چکیده
The latest cosmological constraints on the sum of neutrino masses, in combination with laboratory measurements oscillations, provide ``decisive" Bayesian evidence for normal mass hierarchy. We show that this result holds across very different prior alternatives by exploring two extremes range choices. In fact, while specific numerical value Evidence depends choice prior, odds remain greater than 140:1 For Majorana neutrinos has important implications upper limit neutrino-less double beta decay half life and thus technology resources needed future experiments.

Neutrino masses: hierarchy without hierarchy
A large hierarchy of the Dirac masses can result in a small hierarchy for the low energy masses of the active neutrinos. This can happen even if the Majorana masses of right-handed neutrinos are all equal. A realistic description of the observed neutrino masses and mixing can be obtained starting from a large hierarchy in the Dirac masses. A large mixing for solar neutrinos results from the neu...
متن کاملInverted Neutrino Mass Hierarchy ?
The recent results from the Los Alamos neutrino oscillation experiment, together with assumptions of neutrino oscillation solutions for the solar and atmospheric neutrino deficit problems, may place powerful constraints on any putative scheme for neutrino masses and mixings. Assuming the validity of these experiments and assumptions, we argue that a nearly unique spectrum of neutrino masses eme...
متن کاملNeutrino Mass Matrix and Hierarchy
We build a model to describe neutrinos based on strict hierarchy, incorporating as much as possible, the latest known data, for ∆sol and ∆atm, and for the mixing angles determined from neutrino oscillation experiments, including that from KamLAND. Since the hierarchy assumption is a statement about mass ratios, it lets us obtain all three neutrino masses. We obtain a mass matrix, Mν and a mixin...
متن کاملLarge neutrino mixing and normal mass hierarchy: a discrete understanding
We discuss the possibility of flavor symmetries to explain the pattern of charged lepton and neutrino masses and mixing angles. We emphasize what are the obstacles for the generation of an almost maximal atmospheric mixing and what are the minimal ingredients to obtain it. A model based on the discrete symmetry S3 is constructed, which leads to the dominant μτ -block in the neutrino mass matrix...
متن کاملModels of Neutrino Masses: Anarchy versus Hierarchy
We present a quantitative study of the ability of models with different levels of hierarchy to reproduce the solar neutrino solutions, in particular the LA solution. As a flexible testing ground we consider models based on SU(5)×U(1)F. In this context, we have made statistical simulations of models with different patterns from anarchy to various types of hierachy: normal hierarchical models wit...
