Neutrino Mass and Flavour Models
نویسنده
چکیده
We survey some of the recent promising developments in the search for the theory behind neutrino mass and tri-bimaximal mixing, and indeed all fermion masses and mixing. We focus in particular on models with discrete family symmetry and unification, and show how such models can also solve the SUSY flavour and CP problems. We also discuss the theoretical implications of the measurement of a non-zero reactor angle, as hinted at by recent experimental measurements.

A comprehensive study of neutrino spin-flavour conversion in supernovae and the neutrino mass hierarchy
Resonant spin-flavour (RSF) conversions of supernova neutrinos, which is induced by the interaction between the nonzero neutrino magnetic moment and supernova magnetic fields, are studied for both normal and inverted mass hierarchy. As the case for the pure matter-induced neutrino oscillation (Mikheyev–Smirnov– Wolfenstein (MSW) effect), we find that the RSF transitions are strongly dependent o...
متن کاملRecent Results From the K2K (KEK-to-Kamioka) Neutrino Oscillation Experiment
For many years experiments studying neutrinos produced in interactions of cosmic rays with atmospheric nuclei have been measuring a significant suppression of the ratio of νμ to νe with respect to the expectation derived from standard hadronic shower models [1–6]. The popular interpretation of this suppression is that neutrino oscillations, in which νμ change to some other neutrino flavour in f...
متن کاملNeutrino Masses and Lepton Flavour Violation in Thick Brane Scenarios
We address the issue of lepton flavour violation and neutrino masses in the “fat-brane” paradigm, where flavour changing processes are suppressed by localising different fermion field wave-functions at different positions (in the extra dimensions) in a thick brane. We study the consequences of suppressing lepton number violating charged lepton decays within this scenario for lepton masses and m...
متن کاملModels of neutrino mass, mixing and CP violation
In this topical review we argue that neutrino mass and mixing data motivates extending the Standard Model (SM) to include a non-Abelian discrete flavour symmetry in order to accurately predict the large leptonic mixing angles and violation. We begin with an overview of the SM puzzles, followed by a description of some classic lepton mixing patterns. Lepton mixing may be regarded as a deviati...
متن کاملFlavour-Dependent Leptogenesis with Sequential Dominance
We study thermal leptogenesis in classes of neutrino mass models based on the seesaw mechanism with three right-handed neutrinos and sequential right-handed neutrino dominance. The flavour-dependent Boltzmann equations are solved appropriate to both the Standard Model and the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. Within these classes of models we investigate constraints and expectations on the...
