Cosmological Constraints on Neutrino Masses and Mixings
نویسنده
چکیده
The bounds on neutrino masses and mixing that follows from the data on light element abundances, large scale structure formation, and angular fluctuations of cosmic microwave background radiation are analyzed. The role of neutrino oscillations in BBN and the bounds on cosmological lepton asymmetry are discussed.

Heavy Sterile Neutrinos and Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay
We investigate the possibility of producing neutrinoless double beta decay without having an electron neutrino with a mass in the vicinity of 1 eV. We do so by having a much lighter electron neutrino mix with a much heavier (m >∼ 1 GeV) sterile neutrino. We study the constraints on the masses and mixings of such heavy sterile neutrinos from existing laboratory, astrophysical and cosmological in...
متن کاملMSLED, Neutrino Oscillations and the Cosmological Constant
We explore the implications for neutrino masses and mixings within the minimal version of the supersymmetric large-extra-dimensions scenario (MSLED). This model was proposed in hep-ph/0404135 to extract the phenomenological implications of the promising recent attempt (in hep-th/0304256) to address the cosmological constant problem. Remarkably, we find that the simplest couplings between brane ...
متن کاملParticle Physics Implications of Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay∗
Neutrinoless double beta decay is a sensitive probe of the patterns of neutrino masses and mixings if the neutrinos are Majorana particles as well as other new physics scenarios beyond the standard model. In this talk, the present experimental lower bound on the lifetime for ββ0ν is used to constrain the neutrino mixings and set limits on the parameters of the new physics scenarios such as the ...
متن کاملNeutrinoless Double Beta Decay and Physics Beyond The Standard Model∗
Neutrinoless double beta decay is a sensitive probe of new physics beyond the standard model. In this review, we begin by describing the various mechanisms for this process and the kind of new physics scenarios where these mechanisms can arise. The present experimental lower bound on the lifetime for ββ0ν is then used to set limits on the parameters of these new physics scenarios. We then consi...
متن کاملOrigin of Neutrino Masses and Mixings
A brief overview of the important theoretical issues in neutrino physics is presented and some of the current ideas for addressing them in the framework of the seesaw mechanism of neutrino masses are discussed. Among the topics discussed are ways to understand maximal mixing pattern among the three neutrino species, both unimaximal and bimaximal kinds. Constraints from baryogenesis on mixing pa...
