Neutrino Mass Matrix Running for Non-Degenerate See-Saw Scales
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the running of the neutrino mass matrix in the Standard Model and the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model, extended by heavy singlet Majorana neutrinos. Unlike previous studies, we do not assume that all of the heavy mass eigenvalues are degenerate. This leads to various effective theories when the heavy degrees of freedom are integrated out successively. We calculate the Renormalization Group Equations that govern the evolution of the neutrino mass matrix in these effective theories. We show that an appropriate treatment of the singlet mass scales can yield a substantially different result compared to integrating out the singlets at a common intermediate scale.

Flavor Symmetry L μ − L τ and quasi – degenerate Neutrinos
Current data implies three simple forms of the neutrino mass matrix, each corresponding to the conservation of a non–standard lepton charge. While models based on Le and Le−Lμ−Lτ are well–known, little attention has been paid to Lμ−Lτ . A low energy mass matrix conserving Lμ−Lτ implies quasi–degenerate light neutrinos. Moreover, it is μ–τ symmetric and therefore (in contrast to Le and Le − Lμ −...
متن کاملRenormalization Group Analysis of Neutrino Mass Parameters
Tools for calculating the Renormalization Group Equations for renormalizable and non-renormalizable operators in various theories are reviewed, which are essential for comparing experimental results with predictions from models beyond the Standard Model. Numerical examples for the running of the lepton mixing angles in models with non-degenerate see-saw scales are shown, in which the best-fit v...
متن کاملFrom Hierarchical to Partially Degenerate Neutrinos via Type II Upgrade of Type I See-Saw Models
We propose a type II upgrade of type I see-saw models leading to new classes of models where partially degenerate neutrinos are as natural as hierarchical ones. The additional type II contribution to the neutrino mass matrix, which determines the neutrino mass scale, is forced to be proportional to the unit matrix by a SO(3) flavour symmetry. The type I see-saw part of the neutrino mass matrix,...
متن کاملNeutrino Mass Textures from Oscillations with Maximal Mixing
We study the implications of neutrino oscillations with maximal mixing for the neutrino Dirac and Majorana matrices in the see-saw mechanism for three non degenerate neutrino masses. We find the form of the Dirac matrix for a structure-less Majorana matrix and, conversely, the structure of the Majorana matrix if the Dirac matrix is according to our naive intuition. We give some examples of Majo...
