Atmospheric Neutrino Octant from Flavour Symmetry

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2023-09-07 v2

Abstract

The binary tetrahedral group (TT^{'}) has provided the most successful flavour symmetry in understanding simultaneously the three mixing angles both for quarks in the CKM matrix and for neutrinos in the PMNS matrix. One prediction, invariant under leptonic CP violation, relates the atmospheric and reactor neutrino mixings θ23\theta_{23} and θ13\theta_{13} respectively. We study sedulously this relation using the latest neutrino data. It is natural to focus on the frustrating experimental octant ambiguity of θ23\theta_{23}. We conclude that the flavour symmetry requires that θ23\theta_{23} is in the second octant θ>450\theta > 45^0, not in the first one θ23<450\theta_{23}<45^0, and eagerly await experimental confirmation of this prediction.
