Neutrino Telescopes as a Probe of Broken μ-τ Symmetry
It is known that neutrino oscillations may map φe : φμ : φτ = 1 : 2 : 0, the initial flavor ratios of ultrahigh-energy neutrino fluxes produced from a distant astrophysical source, into φe : φ D μ : φ D τ = 1 : 1 : 1 at the detector of a neutrino telescope. We remark that this naive expectation is only valid in the μ-τ symmetry limit, in which two neutrino mixing angles satisfy θ13 = 0 and θ23 ...
متن کاملNeutrino Mixing : from the Broken μ - τ Symmetry to the Broken Friedberg - Lee Symmetry
I argue that the observed flavor structures of leptons and quarks might imply the existence of certain flavor symmetries. The latter should be a good starting point to build realistic models towards deeper understanding of the fermion mass spectra and flavor mixing patterns. The µ-τ permutation symmetry serves for such an example to interpret the almost maximal atmospheric neutrino mixing angle...
متن کاملμ− τ Reflection Symmetry in Lepton Mixing and Neutrino Oscillations
We examine the possibility that the lepton mixing matrix may exhibit a strong form of μ − τ universality, in which corresponding elements of the μand τ neutrino flavour eigenstates have equal moduli, and find that it is consistent with present data on neutrino oscillations. We point out that in the Dirac case, this is equivalent to symmetry under μ−τ reflection, ie. the combined operation of μ ...
متن کاملA Neutrino Mass Matrix with Vanishing μ-μ and τ -τ Entries
We revisit our earlier proposal for the form of the neutrino mass matrix: a two-zero ansatz wherein the CP-violating PMNS phase δ plays a surprisingly important role. We review its observable consequences and show how our ansatz follows from a softly-broken symmetry (muon number minus tau lepton number) in a seesaw model with three Higgs doublets.
متن کاملNeutrino telescopes as a probe of active and sterile neutrino mixings
If the ultrahigh-energy (UHE) neutrino fluxes produced from a distant astrophysical source can be measured at a km-size neutrino telescope, they will provide a promising way to help determine the flavor mixing pattern of three active neutrinos. Considering the conventional UHE neutrino source with the flavor ratio φe : φμ : φτ = 1 : 2 : 0, I show that φDe : φ D μ : φ D τ = (1− 2∆) : (1 + ∆) : (...
