Abstract

We present a systematic procedure to establish a connection between complex neutrino mass matrix textures and experimental observables, including the Dirac CP phase. In addition, we illustrate how future experimental measurements affect the selection of textures in the (theta_13,delta_CP)-plane. For the mixing angles, we use generic assumptions motivated by quark-lepton complementarity. We allow for any combination between U_l and U_nu, as well as we average over all present complex phases. We find that individual textures lead to very different distributions of the observables, such as to large or small leptonic CP violation. In addition, we find that the extended quark-lepton complementarity approach motivates future precision measurements of delta_CP at the level of theta_C \simeq 11 degrees.
