Abstract

Phenomena of neutrino oscillations are discussed on the basis of two-loop radiative neutrino mechanism. Neutrino mixings are experimentally suggested to be maximal in both atmospheric and solar neutrino oscillations. By using LeLμLτL_e - L_\mu - L_\tau (L\equiv L^\prime)-conservation, which, however, only ensures the maximal solar neutrino mixing, we find that two-loop radiative mechanism dynamically generates the maximal atmospheric neutrino mixing and that the estimate of Δm2/Δmatm2ϵme/mτ\Delta m^2_\odot/\Delta m^2_{atm} \sim\epsilon m_e/m_\tau explains Δm2/Δmatm21\Delta m^2_\odot/\Delta m^2_{atm} \ll 1 because of me/mτ1m_e/m_\tau \ll 1, where ϵ\epsilon measures the breaking of the LL^\prime-conservation. Together with Δmatm23×103\Delta m^2_{atm} \approx 3\times 10^{-3} eV2^2, this estimate yields Δm2107\Delta m^2_\odot \sim 10^{-7} eV2^2 for ϵ0.1\epsilon \sim 0.1, which corresponds to the LOW solution to the solar neutrino problem. Neutrino mass scale is given by (16π2)2memτ/M(16\pi^2)^{-2} m_em_\tau /M (MM \sim 1 TeV), which is of order 0.01 eV.
