Abstract

We study the CP violation effects from two types of neutrino mass matrices with (i) (Mν)ee=0(M_\nu)_{ee}=0, and (ii) (Mν)ee=(Mν)eμ=0(M_\nu)_{ee}=(M_\nu)_{e\mu}=0, which can be realized by the high dimensional lepton number violating operators ˉRcγμLL(DμΦ)Φ2\bar \ell_R^c\gamma^\mu L_L (D_\mu \Phi)\Phi^2 and ˉRclR(DμΦ)2Φ2\bar \ell_R^c l_R (D_\mu{\Phi})^2\Phi^2, respectively. In (i), the neutrino mass spectrum is in the normal ordering with the lightest neutrino mass within the range 0.002eVm00.007eV0.002\,{\rm eV}\lesssim m_0\lesssim 0.007\,{\rm eV}. Furthermore, for a given value of m0m_0, there are two solutions for the two Majorana phases α21\alpha_{21} and α31\alpha_{31}, whereas the Dirac phase δ\delta is arbitrary. For (ii), the parameters of m0m_0, δ\delta, α21\alpha_{21}, and α31\alpha_{31} can be completely determined. We calculate the CP violating asymmetries in neutrino-antineutrino oscillations for both mass textures of (i) and (ii), which are closely related to the CP violating Majorana phases.
