A Mechanism for Ordinary-Sterile Neutrino Mixing
Efficient oscillations between ordinary (active) and sterile neutrinos can occur only if Dirac and Majorana mass terms exist which are both small and comparable. It is shown that this can occur naturally in a class of string models, in which higher-dimensional operators in the superpotential lead to an intermediate scale expectation value for a scalar field and to suppressed Dirac and Majorana ...
متن کاملConnecting Bimaximal Neutrino Mixing to a Light Sterile Neutrino
It is shown that if small neutrino masses owe their origin to the conventional seesaw mechanism and the MNS mixing matrix is in the exact bimaximal form, then there exist symmetries in the theory that allow one of the righthanded neutrinos to become naturally massless, making it a candidate for the sterile neutrino discussed in the literature. Departures from the exact bimaximal limit leads to ...
متن کاملBounds on Sterile Neutrino Mixing for Cosmologically Interesting Mass Range *
This talk summarizes our recent work which studied the impact of resonant νe → νs and ¯ νe → ¯ νs (νs is a sterile neutrino) conversions on supernova physics, under the assumption that the mass of the sterile state is in the few eV-cosmologically significant range.
متن کاملActive-sterile neutrino mixing in the absence of bare active neutrino mass
We investigate a minimal extension of the standard model in which the only new ingredient is the sterile neutrinos. We do not introduce extra Higgs multiplets or high dimensional effective operators to induce mass terms for the active neutrinos, and the model is renormalizable in itself. We show for arbitrary numbers of generations and sterile neutrinos that the independent physical parameters ...
متن کاملLight Unstable Sterile Neutrino
The three massless active (doublet) neutrinos may mix with two heavy and one light sterile (singlet) neutrinos so that the induced masses and mixings among the former are able to explain the present data on atmospheric and solar neutrino oscillations. If the LSND result is also to be explained, one active neutrino mass eigenstate must mix with the light sterile neutrino. A specific model is pro...
