S_4 Flavored CP Symmetry for Neutrinos

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2012-10-17 v3

Abstract

A generalized CP symmetry for leptons is presented where CP transformations are part of an S4S_4 symmetry that connects different families. We study its implications for lepton mixings in a gauge model realization of the idea using type II seesaw for neutrino masses. The model predicts maximal atmospheric mixing, nonzero θ13\theta_{13} and maximal Dirac phase δD=±π/2\delta_{D}= \pm\pi/2.
