Finite quantum corrections to the tribimaximal neutrino mixing

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2011-04-22 v2

Abstract

We calculate finite quantum corrections to the tribimaximal neutrino mixing pattern V_TB in three generic classes of neutrino mass models. We show that three flavor mixing angles can all depart from their tree-level results described by V_TB, among which \theta_12 is most sensitive to such quantum effects, and the Dirac CP-violating phase can radiatively arise from two Majorana CP-violating phases. This theoretical scheme offers a new way to understand why \theta_13 is naturally small and how three CP-violating phases are presumably correlated.
