Neutrino Oscillation Observables from Mass Matrix Structure

چکیده

We present a systematic procedure to establish a connection between complex neutrino mass matrix textures and experimental observables, including the Dirac CP phase. In addition, we illustrate how future experimental measurements affect the selection of textures in the (θ13, δCP)-plane. For the mixing angles, we use generic assumptions motivated by quark-lepton complementarity. We allow for any combination between Ul and Uν , as well as we average over all present complex phases. We find that individual textures lead to very different distributions of the observables, such as to large or small leptonic CP violation. In addition, we find that the extended quark-lepton complementarity approach motivates future precision measurements of δCP at the level of θC ≃ 11 ◦. PACS: 12.15.Ff, 14.60.Pq

Testing Neutrino Mass Matrices with Approximate L e − L μ − L τ Symmetry ∗

As neutrino experiments are starting to probe the detailed structure of the neutrino mass matrix, we present sumrules relating its matrix elements for a class of models with approximate Le−Lμ−Lτ symmetry and the observables in neutrino oscillation experiments. We show that regardless of how the above symmetry is broken (whether in the neutrino sector or the charged lepton sector), as long as th...

CP Violation, Neutrino Mixing and the Baryon Asymmetry

We study neutrino masses and mixings based on the simplest SO(10) mass relations and the seesaw mechanism. We find that the requirement of large neutrino mixings determines the relative magnitude of the heavy Majorana neutrino masses in terms of the known quark mass hierarchy. This leads to specific predictions for the structure of the neutrino mixing matrix, the light neutrino masses, CP viola...

Leptogenesis and the Violation of Lepton Number and CP at Low Energies

In the context of the minimal supersymmetric seesaw model, we study the implications of the current neutrino data for thermal leptogenesis, ββ0ν decay, and leptonic flavourand CP-violating low-energy observables. We express the heavy singlet-neutrino Dirac Yukawa couplings (Yν)ij and Majorana masses MNi in terms of the light-neutrino observables and an auxiliary hermitian matrix H , which enabl...

Double beta decay versus cosmology: Majorana CP phases and nuclear matrix elements

We discuss the relation between the absolute neutrino mass scale, the effective mass measured in neutrinoless double beta decay, and the Majorana CP phases. Emphasis is placed on estimating the upper bound on the nuclear matrix element entering calculations of the double beta decay half life. Consequently, one of the Majorana CP phases can be constrained when combining the claimed evidence for ...

The Cosmological Energy Density of Neutrinos from Oscillation Measurements

The emerging structure of the neutrino mass matrix, when combined with the primordial element abundances, places the most stringent constraint on the flavor asymmetries in the cosmological neutrino background and therefore its energy density. I review the mechanism of synchronized neutrino oscillations in the an early universe with degenerate (asymmetric) neutrino and antineutrino densities and...
