Neutrino Oscillations from Discrete Non-Abelian Symmetries
Abstract
I discuss a SUSY-GUT model with a non-Abelian discrete family symmetry that explains the observed hierarchical pattern of quark and lepton masses. This model predicts modified quadratic seesaw neutrino masses and mixing angles which are interesting for three reasons: i.) they offer a solution to the solar neutrino problem, ii.) the tau neutrino has the right mass for a cosmologically interesting hot dark matter candidate, and iii.) they suggest a positive result for the oscillation searches by the CHORUS and NOMAD collaborations. However, the model shares some problems with many other predictive GUT models of quark and lepton masses. Well-known and once successful mass and angle relations, such as the relation , are found to be in conflict with the current experimental status. Attempts to correct these relations seem to lead to rather contrived models.
