چکیده

We examine constraints on a simple neutrino model in which there are three massless and three massive Dirac neutrinos and in which the left handed neutrinos are linear combinations of doublet and singlet neutrinos. We examine constraints from direct decays into heavy neutrinos, indirect effects on electroweak parameters, and flavor changing processes. We combine these constraints to examine the allowed mass range for the heavy neutrinos of each of the three generations. a This work is supported in part by funds provided by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) under contract #DE-AC02-76ER03069 and in part by the Texas National Research Laboratory Commission under grant #RGFY92C6. b National Science Foundation Young Investigator Award.

Flavor Mixing and CP Violation of Massive Neutrinos

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...

Constraints on Dirac Neutrinos from Sn 1987 A

The Livermore Supernova Explosion Code was used to calculate the effect of a massive Dirac neutrino on neutrino emission from SN 1987A in a fully self-consistent manner. Spin-flip interactions lead to the copious emission of sterile, right-handed neutrinos and cool the core faster than the observed neutrino emission time for Dirac masses exceeding about 3 keV. This limit is relaxed to 7 keV if ...

Coherent Neutrino Propagation in a Dense Medium

Motivated by the effect of matter on neutrino oscillations (the MSW effect) we have studied the propagation of neutrinos in a dense medium. The dispersion relation for massive neutrinos in a medium is known to have a minimum at nonzero momentum p ∼ GF ρ/ √ 2. We have studied in detail the origin and consequences of this dispersion relation for both Dirac and Majorana neutrinos both in a toy mod...
