High Scale Mixing Unification and Large Neutrino Mixing Angles
نویسندگان
چکیده
Starting with the hypothesis that quark and lepton mixings are identical at or near the GUT scale, we show that the large solar and atmospheric neutrino mixing angles together with the small reactor angle Ue3 can be understood purely as a result of renormalization group evolution provided the three neutrinos are quasi-degenerate and have same CP parity. It predicts the common Majorana mass for the neutrinos larger than 0.1 eV, which falls right in the range reported recently and also the range which will be probed in the planned experiments.

Neutrino masses and mixings with an S 3 family permutation symmetry
Large neutrino mixing angles suggest that the Yukawa sector is invariant under permutations of the fermion families. This S3 permutation symmetry is broken at a large energy scale but much below the unification scale. Assuming that the lepton mass matrix is approximately diagonal, all neutrino mixing angles naturally come from the breaking of S3 →S2. In the neutrino sector, S2 remains (approxim...
متن کاملFermion Mixings in SU(9) Family Unification
In an SU(9) model of gauged family unification, we propose an explanation for why angles observed in the lepton flavor (PMNS) mixing matrix are significantly larger than those measured for any analagous quark flavor (KM) mixing angle. It is directly related to a see-saw mechanism that we assume to be responsible for the generation of neutrino masses. Our model is more constrained and therefore ...

After recalling some elegant contributions of the late Freydoon Mansouri, we turn to neutrino physics and use a modicum of grand unification to relate quark and lepton mixing matrices. We advocate an expansion for the MNS matrix, à la Wolfenstein, and argue that in a wide class of models, θ13 is a Cabibbo mixing effect. Also the large neutrino mixing angles reflect the mass patterns of the righ...
متن کاملPredicting neutrino parameters from SO(3) family symmetry and quark-lepton unification
We show how the neutrino mixing angles and oscillation phase can be predicted from tri-bimaximal neutrino mixing, corrected by charged lepton mixing angles which are related to quark mixing angles via quark-lepton unification. The tribimaximal neutrino mixing can naturally originate from the see-saw mechanism via constrained sequential dominance (CSD), where CSD can result from the vacuum align...
متن کاملStable bimaximal neutrino mixing pattern
The data from the various neutrino experiments indicate a bimaximal mixing among three neutrino generations. The atmospheric neutrino puzzle requires a near maximal mixing between a pair of neutrinos [1]. The solar neutrino puzzle has various possible solutions but the large angle MSW solution is favoured [2]. As the mass squared difference required for these two solutions differ by about few o...
