Quantum effects for the neutrino mixing matrix in the democratic-type model

Abstract

We investigate the quantum effects for the democratic-type neutrino mass matrix given at the right-handed neutrino mass scale mRm_R in order to see (i) whether θ23=π/4\theta_{23}=-\pi/4 predicted by the model is stable to explain the atmospheric neutrino anomaly, (ii) how θ12\theta_{12} and θ13\theta_{13} behave, and (iii) whether the predicted Dirac CP phase δ\delta keeps maximal size, at the weak scale mZm_Z. We find that, for the (inversely) hierarchical mass spectrum with m1m2m_1\sim m_2, θ23\theta_{23} and θ13\theta_{13} are stable, while θ12\theta_{12} is not so, which leads to the possibility that the solar neutrino mixing angle can become large at mZm_Z even if it is taken small at mRm_R. We also show that δ\delta keeps almost maximal for the above mass spectrum, and our model can give the large CP violation effect in the future neutrino oscillation experiments if the solar neutrino puzzle is explained by the large mixing angle MSW solution.
