Symplectic Symmetry of the Neutrino Mass and the See-Saw Mechanism
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate the algebraic structure of the most general neutrino mass Hamiltonian and place the see-saw mechanism in an algebraic framework. We show that this Hamiltonian can be written in terms of the generators of an Sp(4) algebra. The Pauli-Gürsey transformation is an SU(2) rotation which is embedded in this Sp(4) group. This SU(2) also generates the see-saw mechanism. Typeset using REVTEX ∗Electronic address: [email protected] †Permanent Address ‡Electronic address: [email protected]

Can LHC Test the See-Saw Mechanism?⋆
We discuss the prospects for detecting right-handed neutrinos which are introduced in the see-saw mechanism at future colliders. This requires a very accurate cancellation between contributions from different right-handed neutrinos to the light neutrino mass matrix. We search for possible symmetries behind this cancellation and find that they have to include lepton number conservation. Light ne...
متن کاملApproximate Flavour Symmetries and See-Saw Mechanism
We study the approximate flavour symmetries imposed on the lepton sector assuming see-saw mechanism as the neutrino mass structure. We apply the symmetry to various neutrino phenomenologies and obtain constraints on neutrino masses and mixings. Typeset using REVTEX [email protected] 1
متن کاملSee-Saw Realization of the Texture Zeros in the Neutrino Mass Matrix
We study the see-saw realization of seven textures of the neutrino mass matrix, which were presented by Frampton, Glashow and Marfatia. Two of them (B1 and B2) are not realized in the see-saw mechanism without fine-tuning of parameters. We present some specific textures of the Dirac neutrino mass matrix and the right-handed Majorana neutrino one. In order to test these textures, we discuss the ...
متن کاملLarge and Almost Maximal Neutrino Mixing within the Type II See-Saw Mechanism
Within the type II see-saw mechanism the light neutrino mass matrix is given by a sum of a direct (or triplet) mass term and the conventional (type I) see-saw term. Both versions of the see-saw mechanism explain naturally small neutrino masses, but the type II scenario offers interesting additional possibilities to explain large or almost maximal or vanishing mixings which are discussed in this...
متن کاملThe see-saw mechanism: neutrino mixing, leptogenesis and lepton flavor violation
Abstract. The see-saw mechanism to generate small neutrino masses is reviewed. After summarizing our current knowledge about the low energy neutrino mass matrix we consider reconstructing the see-saw mechanism. Low energy neutrino physics is not sufficient to reconstruct see-saw, a feature which we refer to as “see-saw degeneracy”. Indirect tests of see-saw are leptogenesis and lepton flavor vi...
