Can the Lepton Flavor Mixing Matrix Be Symmetric?
نویسنده
چکیده
Current neutrino oscillation data indicate that the 3 × 3 lepton flavor mixing matrix V is likely to be symmetric about its Ve3-Vμ2-Vτ1 axis. This offdiagonal symmetry corresponds to three pairs of congruent unitarity triangles in the complex plane. Terrestrial matter effects can substantially modify the genuine CP -violating parameter and off-diagonal asymmetries of V in realistic long-baseline experiments of neutrino oscillations.

Flavor Symmetry for Quarks and Leptons
Present data on neutrino masses and mixing favor the highly symmetric tribimaximal neutrino mixing matrix which suggests an underlying flavor symmetry. A systematic study of non-abelian finite groups of order g ≤ 31 reveals that tribimaximal mixing can be derived not only from the well known tetrahedral flavor symmetry T ≡ A4, but also by using the binary tetrahedral symmetry SL2(F3) which does...
متن کاملNew Formulation of Matter Effects on Neutrino Mixing and CP Violation
Within the framework of three lepton families we have derived an exact and compact formula to describe the matter effect on neutrino mixing and CP violation. This modeland parametrization-independent result can be particularly useful for recasting the fundamental lepton flavor mixing matrix from a variety of long-baseline neutrino experiments.

متن کاملFlavor Symmetry L e − L μ − L τ , Atmospheric Neutrino Mixing and CP Violation in the Lepton Sector
The PMNS neutrino mixing matrix is given, in general, by the product of two unitary matrices associated with the diagonalization of the charged lepton and neutrino mass matrices. Assuming that the active flavor neutrinos possess a Majorana mass matrix which is diagonalized by a bimaximal mixing matrix, we give the allowed forms of the charged lepton mixing matrix and the corresponding implied f...
متن کاملModel of Large Mixing Angle MSW Solution
We have obtained the neutrino mass matrix with the large mixing angle (LMA) MSW solution, sin 2θ⊙ = 0.65 ∼ 0.97 and ∆m⊙ = 10 −5 ∼ 10−4eV2, in the S3L × S3R flavor symmetry. The structure of our neutrino mass matrix is found to be stable against radiative corrections. The solar neutrino data as well as the atmospheric one give big impact on the study of the lepton mass matrices. There is a typic...
