Abstract

We show that the four high-energy Littlest Seesaw parameters in the flavour basis,namely two real Yukawa couplings plus the two right-handed neutrino masses, can be determined by an excellent fit to the seven currently constrained observables of low-energy neutrino data and leptogenesis. Taking into account renormalisation group corrections, we estimate χ21.52.6\chi^2 \simeq 1.5-2.6 for the three d.o.f., depending on the high-energy scale and the type of non supersymmetric Littlest Seesaw model. We extract allowed ranges of neutrino parameters from our fit data, including the approximate mu-tau symmetric predictions θ23=45o±1o\theta_{23}=45^o\pm 1^o and δ=90o±5o\delta = -90^o \pm 5^o , which, together with a normal mass ordering with m1=0m_1=0, will enable Littlest Seesaw models to be tested in future neutrino experiments.
