Abstract

We present an analysis of the solar neutrino data in the context of a quasi-Dirac neutrino model in which the lepton mixing matrix is given at tree level by the tribimaximal matrix. When radiative corrections are taken into account, new effects in neutrino oscillations, as νeνs\nu_e \to \nu_s, appear. This oscillation is constrained by the solar neutrino data. In our analysis, we have found an allowed region for our two free parameters ϵ\epsilon and m1m_1. The radiative correction, ϵ\epsilon, can vary approximately from 5×1095\times 10^{-9} to 10610^{-6} and the calculated fourth mass eigenstate, m4m_4, 0.01 eV to 0.2 eV at 2σ\sigma level. These results are very similar to the ones presented in the literature.
