Origin of Neutrino Masses and Mixings
نویسنده
چکیده
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 patterns are noted. In the last section, the question of understanding the small masses for sterile neutrinos, which seem to be needed for various reasons is addressed.

Generation of Neutrino Masses and Mixings in Gauge Theories
Recent experimental data of neutrinos make big impact on the neutrino masses and their mixings. Most exciting one is the results at Super-Kamiokande on the atmospheric neutrinos, which indicate the large neutrino flavor oscillation of νμ → νx . Solar neutrino data also provide the evidence of the neutrino oscillation, however this problem still uncertain . What can we learn from these results? ...

متن کاملModels of Neutrino Masses and Mixings
We briefly review models of neutrino masses and mixings. In view of the existing experimental ambiguities many possibilities are still open. After an overview of the main alternative options we focus on the most constrained class of models based on three widely split light neutrinos within SUSY Grand Unification. Talk given at the 9th International Workshop on Neutrino Telescopes, Venice, March...
متن کاملNeutrino Masses and Mixings in a Universal Seesaw Mass Matrix Model
Neutrino masses and mixings are investigated on the basis of a universal seesaw mass matrix model, in which quark (except for top) and charged lepton mass matrices Mf and neutrino mass matrix Mν are given by Mf ≃ mLM F mR and Mν ≃ mLM F mL (F = N), respectively. For a simple model which can successfully describe quark masses and mixings, we find that the observed neutrino data (except for the s...
متن کاملNeutrino Masses and Mixings from String Theory Instantons
We study possible patterns of neutrino masses and mixings in string models in which Majorana neutrino masses are generated by a certain class of string theory instantons recently considered in the literature. These instantons may generate either directly the dim=5 Weinberg operator or right-handed neutrino Majorana masses, both with a certain flavour-factorised form. A hierarchy of neutrino mas...
