A " Cabbibo " theory for leptons and the neutrino masses
نویسنده
چکیده
We suggest a complete analogy between the lepton current and the Cabibbo theory for hadronic weak interactions. Both neutrinos couple to both the muon and the electron, so at least one of the neutrinos is required to be massive. The two neutrinos have the same type of interactions and are distinguishable only by their masses, like the muon and the electrons. In this theory muon number {or electron number) may be violated. All possible types of such processes are considered. In particular p ep and the decay of the more massive neutrino, &~p, are calculated in detail. We find a lifetime for v& larger than 1.5x 10 sec.

Minimal archi-texture for neutrino mass matrices
The origin of the observed masses and mixing angles of quarks and leptons is one of imperative subjects in and beyond the standard model. Toward a deeper understanding of flavor structure, we investigate in this paper the minimality of fermion mass (Yukawa) matrices in unified theory. That is, the simplest matrix form is explored in light of the current experimental data for quarks and leptons,...
متن کاملPhenomenological quark-lepton mass relations and neutrino mass estimations
Based on the experimental data and estimations of the charged leptons and quark masses, a close power law with exponent 3/4 has been found, connecting the charged lepton masses and up quarks masses. It has been shown that this approximation is considerably better than any known approach. A similar mass relation has been suggested for the masses of the neutral leptons and down quarks. The latter...
متن کاملRadiatively induced electron and electron-neutrino masses
We consider, in the context of a 331 model with a single neutral right-handed singlet, the generation of lepton masses. At zeroth order two neutrinos and one charged lepton are massless, while the other leptons, two neutrinos and two charged leptons, are massive. However the charged ones are still mass degenerate. The massless fields get a mass through radiative corrections which also break the...
متن کاملMass generation of the lepton sector
We discuss the necessity of a right-handed Weyl neutrino due to the vector-like phenomenon of the regularized Standard Model. It is shown that this right-handed neutrino is decoupled from low energies as a free particle, and Dirac neutrino masses are very small. We suggest gauge-invariant couplings between down quarks and charged leptons so that charged leptons acquire masses without extra Golt...
متن کاملNeutrino Mass in Physics and Astrophysics
The symmetry between quarks and leptons suggests that neutrinos should have mass. As embodied in the grand unified theory SO(10) this yields masses that can only be detected by neutrino oscillations. Such oscillations could be very important for supernova physics. Present observations of solar neutrinos when combined with standard solar model calculations imply particular parameters for neutrin...
