Tri-bimaximal Neutrino Mixing and $\theta_{13}$

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2011-07-07 v5

Abstract

We propose an extension of tri-bimaximal mixing to include a non-zero reactor angle θ13\theta_{13} while maintaining the tri-bimaximal predictions for the atmospheric angle θ23=45o\theta_{23}=45^o and solar angle θ12=35o\theta_{12}=35^o. We show how such tri-bimaximal-reactor mixing can arise at leading order from the(type I) see-saw mechanism with partially constrained sequential dominance. Partially constrained sequential dominance can be realized in GUT models with a non-Abelian discrete family symmetry, such as A4A_4, spontaneously broken by flavons with a particular vacuum alignment.
