Eigenvector-based approach to neutrino mixing

Neutrino Mixing

Neutrino Mixing

In this review we present the main features of the current status of neutrino physics. After a review of the theory of neutrino mixing and oscillations, we discuss the current status of solar and atmospheric neutrino oscillation experiments. We show that the current data can be nicely accommodated in the framework of three-neutrino mixing. We discuss also the problem of the determination of the...

Neutrino Mixing

In the first part of these lectures the neutrino mixing hypothesis will be considered in detail. We will discuss the possible schemes of neutrino mixing and present the data of the recent experiments searching for effects due to nonvanishing neutrino masses and mixing angles.In the second part of these lectures the physics of solar neutrinos will be considered.We will discuss the MSW resonance ...

Feature-based correspondence: an eigenvector approach

We propose a novel method for performing point.feature correspondence based on a modal shape description. Introducing shape information into a low-level matching proc’ess allows our algorithm to cope easily with rotutions and translutions in the image plane, yet still give a dense correspondence. We also show positive results for scale changes and small skews, and demonstrate how reflectional s...

Connecting Bimaximal Neutrino Mixing to a Light Sterile Neutrino

It is shown that if small neutrino masses owe their origin to the conventional seesaw mechanism and the MNS mixing matrix is in the exact bimaximal form, then there exist symmetries in the theory that allow one of the righthanded neutrinos to become naturally massless, making it a candidate for the sterile neutrino discussed in the literature. Departures from the exact bimaximal limit leads to ...
