Towards Complete Neutrino Mixing Matrix and CP-Violation

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

The compelling experimental evidences for oscillations of solar, atmospheric and reactor neutrinos imply the existence of 3-neutrino mixing in vacuum. We review the phenomenology of 3-neutrino mixing, and the current data on the 3-neutrino mixing parameters. The opened questions and the main goals of future research in the field of neutrino mixing and oscillations are outlined. A phenomenological approach for understanding the pattern of neutrino mixing as an interplay between the mixing, arising from the charged lepton sector, and bimaximal mixing, arising from a neutrino Majorana mass matrix, is considered with emphasis on the CP-violating case. We comment also on planned future steps in the experimental studies of neutrino mixing.
