Abstract

We propose a phenomenological form of the charged lepton mass matrix, which extends the idea of ``lopsided'' mass matrix in the literature. The features of the form are that both the 2-3 and 1-3 elements of the charged lepton mass matrix are of order 1 and that the small elements have a new structure . This form leads to an interesting result that both large atmospheric and solar neutrino mixing can be accounted for by the matrix. Another interesting result of this mass matrix is that it leads to very small 1-3 mixing in the lepton sector and can suppress the branching ratio of μeγ\mu\to e\gamma under the present experimental limit in the supersymmetric see-saw case.
