Neutrino Mass Texture with Large Mixing

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-30 v3

Abstract

We propose a simple texture for the right-handed Majorana mass matrix to give a large νμντ\nu_\mu-\nu_\tau mixing angle and hierarchical left-handed neutrino mass pattern. Consistently with the Dirac mass texture of the quark sector realizing the CKM mixing, this naturally explains the recent experimental results on both the atmospheric neutrino anomaly observed by the Superkamiokande collaboration and the solar neutrino problem. In this texture the right-handed Majorana mass of the third generation is of the order of GUT scale, which is favorable for reproducing the observed bottom-tau mass ratio.
