Abstract Leptophobic Z ′ gauge boson appears naturally in many grand unified theories, such as flipped SU(5) or string-inspired E6 models. This elusive particle easily escapes the direct/indirect detections because it does not couple to charged leptons. However, it can generate flavor changing neutral current at tree level. In this letter, we show that the recently measured mass difference, ∆ms...

We study the neutrino mixing matrix (MNS matrix) in seesaw model. Assuming large mass hierarchy for heavy right-handed Majorana mass, we show that MNS matrix is determined by a unitary matrix which transforms neutrino yukawa term into a triangular form. Large mixing may occur even if yukawa matrix for charged lepton and that for neutrino is simultaneously diagonalized by biunitary transformatio...

We consider the Generalised Normal Variance-Mean (GNVM) model in which the mixing random variable is Gamma distributed for financial return data. This model generalises the popular Variance-Gamma (VG) distribution. This GNVM model can be interpreted as the addition of noise to a (skew) VG base. In this presentation, we will not only discuss the parameter estimation of the general model, but als...

Current neutrino oscillation data from solar, atmospheric, and reactor experiments are consistent with the neutrino mixing matrix elements taking values sin θ12 = 1/3, sin θ23 = 1/2, and sin 2 θ13 = 0. We present a class of renormalizable gauge models which realize such a geometric mixing pattern naturally. These models, which are based on the non–Abelian discrete symmetry A4, place significant...
