Predictive flavor symmetries of the neutrino mass matrix.
Here we propose an A(4) flavor symmetry model that implies a lower bound on the neutrinoless double beta decay rate, corresponding to an effective mass parameter M{ee} > or similar to 0.03 eV, and a direct correlation between the expected magnitude of CP violation in neutrino oscillations and the value of sin{2}theta{13}, as well as a nearly maximal CP phase delta.
متن کاملPredictive flavour symmetries of the neutrino mass matrix
Unless flavour symmetries are assumed, particle masses and mixings are generally undetermined in gauge theories. Understanding mass and mixing constitutes one of the biggest challenges in elementary particle physics. Current observations do not determine all elements of the effective neutrino mass matrix Mν completely and this will be a great challenge even for future experiments. Therefore the...
متن کاملDiscrete Flavor Symmetries and Mass Matrix Textures
We show how introducing discrete Abelian flavor symmetries can produce texture zeros in the fermion mass matrices, while preserving the correct relationships with the low-energy data on quark and lepton masses. We outline a procedure for defining texture zeros as suppressed entries in Yukawa matrices. These texture zeros can account for the coexistence of the observed large mixing in atmospheri...
متن کاملFlavor symmetries , leptogenesis and the absolute neutrino mass scale
We study the interplay between flavor symmetries and leptogenesis in the case when the scale of flavor symmetry breaking is higher than the scale at which lepton number is violated. We show that when the heavy Majorana neutrinos belong to an irreducible representation of the flavor group, all the leptogenesis CP asymmetries vanish in the limit of exact symmetry. In the case of reducible represe...
متن کاملNeutrino Mass Matrix with Approximate Flavor Symmetry
Phenomenological implications of neutrino oscillations implied by recent experimental data on pattern of neutrino mass matrix are diss-cussed. It is shown that it is possible to have a neutrino mass matrix which shows approximate flavor symmetry; the neutrino mass differences arise from flavor violation in off-diagonal Yukawa couplings. Two modest extensions of the standard model, which can emb...
