Abstract

We present a systematic analysis of perturbative Hexagonal(HG) mixing for describing recent global fit neutrino mixing data with normal and inverted hierarchy. The corrections to unperturbed mixing are parameterized in terms of small orthogonal rotations (R) with modified PMNS matrix of the forms \big(RαβlVHG, VHGRαβr, VHGRαβrRγδr, RαβlRγδlVHGR_{\alpha\beta}^l\cdot V_{HG},~V_{HG}\cdot R_{\alpha\beta}^r,~V_{HG}\cdot R_{\alpha\beta}^r \cdot R_{\gamma\delta}^r,~R_{\alpha\beta}^l \cdot R_{\gamma\delta}^l \cdot V_{HG},~RαβlVHGRγδrR_{\alpha\beta}^l\cdot V_{HG}\cdot R_{\gamma\delta}^r\big ). Here Rαβl,rR_{\alpha\beta}^{l, r} is rotation in ij sector and VHGV_{HG} is unperturbed Hexagonal mixing matrix. The detailed numerical investigation of all possible cases is performed with scanning of parameter space using χ2\chi^2 approach. We found that the perturbative schemes governed by single rotation are unable to fit the mixing angle data even at 3σ3\sigma level. The mixing schemes which involves two rotation matrices, only \big(R12lR13lVHGR_{12}^l \cdot R_{13}^l \cdot V_{HG}, ~R13lR12lVHGR_{13}^l \cdot R_{12}^l \cdot V_{HG},~R13lVHGR12rR_{13}^l \cdot V_{HG} \cdot R_{12}^r,~R12lVHGR12rR_{12}^l \cdot V_{HG} \cdot R_{12}^r, ~R13lVHGR13rR_{13}^l \cdot V_{HG} \cdot R_{13}^r\big ) are successful in fitting all neutrino mixing angles within 1σ1\sigma range for normal hierarchy(NH). However for inverted hierarchy(IH), only R13lVHGR13rR_{13}^l \cdot V_{HG} \cdot R_{13}^r is most preferable as it can fit all mixing angles at 1σ1\sigma level. The remaining perturbative cases are either excluded at 3σ\sigma level or successful in producing mixing angles only at 23σ2-3\sigma level. To study the impact of phase parameter, we also looked into CP violating effects for single rotation case. The predicted value of δCP\delta_{CP} lies in the range 39.0(40.4)δCP78.7(79.2)39.0^\circ(40.4^\circ) \le |\delta_{CP}| \le 78.7^\circ(79.2^\circ) for U12lVHMU_{12}^l\cdot V_{HM} and U13lVHMU_{13}^l\cdot V_{HM} case with Normal(Inverted) Hierarchy.
