Constraints on mixing angles of Majorana neutrinos
نویسندگان
چکیده
By combining the inputs from the neutrinoless double beta decay and the fits of cosmological models of dark matter with solar and atmospheric neutrino data, we obtain constraints on two of the mixing angles of Majorana neutrinos, which become stronger when coupled with the reactor neutrino data. These constraints are strong enough to rule out Majorana neutrinos if the small angle solution of solar neutrino puzzle is borne out. PACS number(s): 14.60.Pq, 14.60.St, 23.40.Bw, 26.65.+t

Constraint on the heavy sterile neutrino mixing angles in the SO(10) model with double see-saw mechanism
Constraints on the heavy sterile neutrino mixing angles are studied in the framework of a minimal supersymmetric SO(10) model with the use of the double see-saw mechanism. A new singlet matter in addition to the right-handed neutrinos is introduced to realize the double see-saw mechanism. The light Majorana neutrino mass matrix is, in general, given by a combination of those of the singlet neut...
متن کاملConstraints of Mixing Angles from Lepton Number Violating Processes
We discuss the constraints of lepton mixing angles from lepton number violating processes such as neutrinoless double beta decay, μ-e conversion and K decay, K− → πμμ which are allowed only if neutrinos are Majorana particles. The rates of these processes are proportional to the averaged neutrino mass defined by 〈mν〉ab ≡ | ∑3 j=1 UajUbjmj | in the absence of right-handed weak coupling. Here a, ...
متن کاملNeutrino Masses and Mixing: Where We Stand and Where We Are Going
Our present understanding of neutrino masses and mixing comes from the interpretation of data on solar and atmospheric neutrinos as well as the results from the LSND experiment in terms of neutrino oscillations [1]. If neutrinos have masses, flavour is mixed in the CC interactions of the leptons, and a leptonic mixing matrix will appear analogous to the CKM [2] matrix for the quarks. The possib...
متن کاملHow to Describe Neutrino Mixing and CP Violation
We present a classification of possible parametrizations of the 3 × 3 lepton flavor mixing matrix in terms of the rotation and phase angles. A particular parametrization, which is most convenient to describe the observables of neutrino oscillations and that of the neutrinoless double beta decay, is studied in detail. The possibility to determine the Diracand Majorana-type CP-violating phases ar...
متن کاملQuark-lepton complementarity with quasidegenerate Majorana neutrinos
A basis independent formulation of quark-lepton complementarity is implemented at a high scale for quasidegenerate Majorana neutrinos. It is shown that even with the renormalization group evolution in the minimal supersymmetric standard model, the scenario can be consistent with the data provided a nontrivial role is played by the Majorana phases. Correlated constraints are found on these phase...
