Abstract

The μ\mu-τ\tau reflection symmetry is compatible with current neutrino oscillation data and easily realized under family symmetries. We prove that this symmetry preserves θ23=45\theta_{23}=45^\circ, δ=±90\delta=\pm90^\circ, ρ,σ=0,90\rho,\sigma=0,90^\circ, and can be embedded into the seesaw mechanism. The μ\mu-τ\tau reflection symmetry preserved at a high energy scale ΛFS\Lambda_\text{FS} will be broken by radiative corrections and result in deviations of θ23\theta_{23} from 4545^\circ and δ\delta from ±90\pm90^\circ at the electroweak scale. We develop an analytical method to derive the corrections to all the mixing parameters. We perform a numerical analysis in the MSSM for δ=90\delta=-90^\circ at ΛFS\Lambda_\text{FS}, and observe that θ23>45\theta_{23}>45^\circ in the normal mass ordering, θ23<45\theta_{23}<45^\circ in the inverted mass ordering, and the sizable correction to δ\delta prefers a negative sign. These deviations have definite directions and can be tested in the future neutrino oscillation experiments.
