Abstract

We make a general study of possibility of generating solar scale Δ\Delta_{\odot} and the CHOOZ angle Ue3U_{e3} radiatively by assuming that they are zero at some high scale. The most general neutrino mass matrix leading to this result is determined in a CP conserving theory. This matrix contains four independent parameters which can be fixed in terms of physical observables. The standard weak radiative corrections then lead to non-zero Δ\Delta_{\odot} and Ue3U_{e3} without drastically altering the other tree level results. As a consequence, both Δ\Delta_{\odot} and Ue3U_{e3} are predicted in terms of other physically observable parameters. These predictions are insensitive to specific form of the neutrino mass matrix. The solar scale and Ue3U_{e3} are strongly correlated with the effective neutrino mass meem_{ee} probed in neutrinoless double beta decay. In particular, the LMA solution to the solar neutrino problem arise for meem_{ee} close to the present experimental limit. An example of specific texture is presented which predicts maximal atmospheric mixing and tan2θ0.5\tan^2 \theta_{\odot}\approx 0.5 for the solar mixing angle θ\theta_{\odot}.
