Abstract

Present experimental data from neutrino oscillations have provided much information about the neutrino mixing angles. Since neutrino oscillations only determine the mass squared differences Δmij2=mi2mj2\Delta m^2_{ij} = m^2_i - m^2_j, the absolute values for neutrino masses mim_i can not be determined using data just from oscillations. In this work we study implications on neutrino masses from a geometric mean mass relation m2=m1m3m_2=\sqrt{m_1 m_3} which enables one to determined the absolute masses of the neutrinos. We find that the central values of the three neutrino masses and their 2σ2\sigma errors to be m1=(1.58±0.18)meVm_1 = (1.58\pm 0.18){meV}, m2=(9.04±0.42)meVm_2 = (9.04\pm 0.42){meV}, and m3=(51.8±3.5)meVm_3 = (51.8\pm 3.5){meV}. Implications for cosmological observation, beta decay and neutrinoless double beta decays are discussed.
