Neutrino Mass Patterns within the See-saw Model from Multi-localization along Extra Dimensions

Abstract

We study a multi-localization model for charged leptons and neutrinos, including the possibility of a see-saw mechanism. This framework offers the opportunity to allow for realistic solutions in a consistent model without fine-tuning of parameters, even if quarks are also considered. Those solutions predict that the large Majorana mass eigenvalues for right-handed neutrinos are of the same order of magnitude, although this almost common mass can span a large range (bounded from above by 1012GeV\sim 10^{12}{\rm GeV}). The model also predicts Majorana masses between 102eV\sim 10^{-2}{\rm eV} and 5 102eV\sim 5 \ 10^{-2}{\rm eV} for the left-handed neutrinos, both in the normal and inverted mass hierarchy cases. This mass interval corresponds to sensitivities which are reachable by proposed neutrinoless double β\beta decay experiments. The preferred range for leptonic mixing angle θ13\theta_{13} is: 102sinθ1310110^{-2} \lesssim \sin \theta_{13} \lesssim 10^{-1}, but smaller values are not totally excluded by the model.
