Constraints on Neutrino Mixing

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2015-06-25 v1 Astrophysics Nuclear Theory

Abstract

We explore the implications of imposing the constraint that two neutrino flavors (which for definiteness we take to be the mu and tau neutrinos) are similarly coupled to the mass basis in addition to the unitarity constraints. We allow three active and an arbitrary number of sterile neutrinos. We show that in this scheme one of the mass eigenstates decouples from the problem, reducing the dimension of the flavor space by one.
