Noncommutativity of Lepton Mass Matrices: Flavor Mixing and CP Violation
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract: I follow a lesson learnt from Heisenberg’s matrix Quantum Mechanics to study the property of lepton flavor mixing and CP violation. I show that the commutator of lepton mass matrices defined in vacuum keeps invariant under terrestrial matter effects within the four-neutrino mixing scheme. A set of model-independent sum rules for neutrino masses are obtained, and they can be generalized to hold for an arbitrary number of neutrino families. Useful sum rules for the rephasing-invariant measures of leptonic CP violation have also been found. Finally I present a generic formula of T-violating asymmetries applicable to the future long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments.

متن کاملHierarchical Neutrino Masses and Large Mixing Angles from the Fritzsch Texture of Lepton Mass Matrices
We show that the Fritzsch texture of lepton mass matrices can naturally lead to the bi-large flavor mixing pattern, if three neutrinos have a normal but weak mass hierarchy (typically, m1 : m2 : m3 ∼ 1 : 3 : 10). The effective mass of the tritium beta decay and that of the neutrinoless double beta decay are too small to be observable in this ansatz, but CP violation at the percent level is allo...
متن کاملLepton-flavor mixing and K → πνν̄ decays
The impact of possible sources of lepton-flavor mixing onK → πνν̄ decays is analysed. At the one-loop level lepton-flavor mixing originated from non-diagonal lepton mass matrices cannot generate a CP-conserving KL → πνν̄ amplitude. The rates of these modes are sensitive to leptonic flavor violation when there are at least two different leptonic mixing matrices. New interactions that violate both ...
