UPR-0790-T, hep-ph/9805281 A Mechanism for Ordinary-Sterile Neutrino Mixing
نویسنده
چکیده
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 fermion masses.

UPR-0780-T, hep-ph/980xxxx Neutrino Anti-Neutrino Transitions
We consider transitions between neutrinos and anti-neutrinos in laboratory experiments in five scenarios. These include the case in which the helicity flips, producing an anti-neutrino with normal weak interactions, and helicity preserving oscillations into an SU(2) singlet state which only interacts by mixing or new interactions. The ratio of μ and μ events for a high energy νμ beam from pion ...

In this talk we present the update (including the recent SNO results) of our analysis of the neutrino oscillation solutions of the solar and atmospheric neutrino problems in the framework of four-neutrino mixing where a sterile neutrino is added to the three standard ones and the mass spectra present two separated doublets. Such scenarios allow for simultaneous transitions of solar νe, as well ...
متن کاملComment on “A New Dark Matter Candidate: Non–thermal Sterile Neutrinos”
I point out that the sterile neutrinos suggested as candidates for “cool” Dark Matter will decay through their mixing with light neutrinos. This leads to an upper bound of about 200 keV on the mass of the sterile neutrinos, but might facilitate their detection. Recently Shi and Fuller proposed [1] a new kind of Dark Matter candidate: a sterile neutrino, with small but non–vanishing mixing with ...

We present an overview of recent progress in the phenomenological study of neutrino masses, lepton flavor mixing and CP violation. We concentrate on the model-independent properties of massive neutrinos, both in vacuum and in matter. Current experimental constraints on the neutrino mass spectrum and the lepton flavor mixing parameters are summarized. The Dirac-and Majorana-like phases of CP vio...
