Bilarge Leptonic Mixing and Lepton Masses from Flavor Symmetries
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a model for leptonic mixing and the lepton masses based on anomalous U(1) charges and a non-Abelian flavor symmetry. The model yields bilarge leptonic mixing, an inverted neutrino mass spectrum and hierarchical charged lepton masses. The non-Abelian flavor symmetry enforces an approximately maximal atmospheric mixing angle and predicts the relation θ12 π4 − θ13 between the solar and the reactor mixing angle.

A Flavor Symmetry Model for Bilarge Leptonic Mixing and the Lepton Masses
We present a model for leptonic mixing and the lepton masses based on flavor symmetries and higher-dimensional mass operators. The model predicts bilarge leptonic mixing (i.e., the mixing angles θ12 and θ23 are large and the mixing angle θ13 is small) and an inverted hierarchical neutrino mass spectrum. Furthermore, it approximately yields the experimental hierarchical mass spectrum of the char...
متن کاملDeconstruction and Bilarge Neutrino Mixing
We present a model for lepton masses and mixing angles using the deconstruction setup, based on a non-Abelian flavor symmetry which is a split extension of the Klein group Z2 × Z2. The symmetries enforce an approximately maximal atmospheric mixing angle θ23, a nearly vanishing reactor mixing angle θ13, and the hierarchy of charged lepton masses. The charged lepton mass spectrum emerges from the...
متن کاملNeutrino Physics
There has been a breakthrough in neutrino physics. It has been discovered that neutrinos have nonzero masses, and that leptons mix. The evidence for masses and mixing is the observation that neutrinos can change from one type, or “flavor”, to another. In this first section of these lectures, we will explain the physics of neutrino flavor change, or “oscillation”, as it is called. We will treat ...
متن کاملThe double mass hierarchy pattern: simultaneously understanding quark and lepton mixing
The charged fermion masses of the three generations exhibit the two strong hierarchiesm3 ≫ m2 ≫ m1. We assume that also neutrino masses satisfy mν3 > mν2 > mν1 and derive the consequences of the hierarchical spectra on the fermionic mixing patterns. The quark and lepton mixing matrices are built in a general framework with their matrix elements expressed in terms of the four fermion mass ratios...
متن کاملProgress in the understanding of neutrino properties
I briefly summarize neutrino oscillation results and discuss their robustness. I mention recent attempts to understand the pattern of neutrino mixing within various seesaw mechanisms, with or without supersymmetry and/or flavor symmetries. I also mention the possibility of intrinsic supersymmetric neutrino masses in the context of broken R parity models, showing how this leads to clear tests at...
