Seesaw Mechanism in Three Flavors
نویسندگان
چکیده
We advance a method used to analyse the neutrino properties (masses and mixing) in the seesaw mechanism. Assuming quark-lepton symmetry and hierarchical light neutrino masses, we establish rather simple relations between the light and the heavy neutrino parameters in the favored regions of the solar and the atmospheric neutrino experiments. A empirical condition satisfied by the right-handed mixing angles is obtained. PACS numbers: 14.60.Pq, 12.15.Ff Typeset using REVTEX ∗Email: [email protected] †Email: [email protected] 1

Phenomenological analysis of properties of the RH Majorana neutrino in the seesaw mechanism
As an extension of our previous work in the seesaw mechanism, we analyze the influence of Ue3 on the properties (masses and mixing) of the RH Majorana neutrinos in three flavors. The quasidegenerate light neutrinos case is also considered. Assuming the hierarchical Dirac neutrino masses, we find the heavy Majorana neutrino mass spectrum is either hierarchical or partial degenerate if θ 23 is la...
متن کاملCorrelation between the Charged Current Interactions of Light and Heavy Majorana Neutrinos
The evidence for neutrino oscillations implies that three neutrino flavors (νe, νμ, ντ ) must have different mass states (ν1, ν2, ν3). The most popular idea of generating tiny masses of νi is to introduce three heavy Majorana neutrinos Ni (for i = 1, 2, 3) into the standard model and implement the seesaw mechanism. In this approach the neutrino mixing matrix V appearing in the charged current i...
متن کاملSeesaw Options for Three Neutrinos
The seesaw mechanism for three neutrinos is discussed, clarifying the situation where the seesaw texture results in three approximately zero mass eigenvalues. The true underlying mechanism is shown to be just the inverse (or linear) seesaw, which explains why there could be large mixing. However, these zeroes cannot occur naturally, unless there is a conserved symmetry, i.e. lepton number L, ei...
متن کاملTetra-maximal Neutrino Mixing and Its Implications on Neutrino Oscillations and Collider Signatures
We propose a novel neutrino mixing pattern in terms of only two small integers 1 and 2 together with their square roots and the imaginary number i. This ansatz is referred to as the “tetra-maximal” mixing because it can be expressed as a product of four rotation matrices, whose mixing angles are all π/4 in the complex plane. It predicts θ12 = arctan(2 − √ 2) ≈ 30.4, θ13 = arcsin[( √ 2 − 1)/(2 √...
متن کاملSeesaw mechanism and structure of neutrino mass matrix
We consider the seesaw mechanism of neutrino mass generation in the light of our present knowledge of the neutrino masses and mixing. We analyse the seesaw mechanism constrained by the following assumptions: (1) minimal seesaw with no Higgs triplets, (2) hierarchical Dirac masses of neutrinos, (3) large lepton mixing primarily or solely due to the mixing in the right-handed neutrino sector, and...
