To accommodate the recently observed non-zero reactor mixing angle $\theta_{13}$, we consider the lepton mixing matrix as Tri-bimaximal mixing (TBM) form in the leading order along with a perturbation in neutrino sector. The perturbation is…
The quark-lepton complementarity (QLC) relations indicate a deep structure that interrelates quarks and leptons. We propose new scenarios, in a seesaw framework with discrete $A_4$ flavor symmetry, which can accommodate the QLC relations…
Global fits to neutrino oscillation data are compatible with tri-bimaximal mixing pattern, which predicts $\theta_{23} = \frac{\pi}{4}, \theta_{12} = \sin^{-1} (\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}})$ and $\theta_{13} = 0$. We propose here to parametrize the…
In the limit of an approximate $\mu-\tau$ symmetry in the neutrino mass matrix, we explore deviations to the Tri-Bi-Maximal mixing pattern in the neutrino sector. We consider two different ansatzes for the corrected pattern to predict the…
The PMNS neutrino mixing matrix U_{PMNS} is in general a product of two unitary matrices U_{lep} and U_{\nu} arising from the diagonalization of the charged lepton and neutrino mass matrices, U_{PMNS} = U^{\dagger}_{lep} U_{\nu}. Assuming…
For the purpose of deriving the observed nearly tribimaximal neutrino mixing, a possible quark mass matrix model is investigated based on a yukawaon model. The neutrino mass matrix is related to the up-quark mass matrix. Five observable…
We re-evaluate neutrino mixing patterns according to the latest T2K result for a larger mixing angle $\theta_{13}$, and find that the PMNS mixing matrix has larger deviations from bimaximal (BM) and tribimaximal (TB) mixing patterns than…
The data on neutrino mixing are at present compatible with Tri-Bimaximal (TB) mixing. If one takes this indication seriously then the models that lead to TB mixing in first approximation are particularly interesting and A4 models are…
Deviations from unitarity of the CKM matrix in the quark sector are considered excellent windows to probe physics beyond the Standard Model. In its leptonic counterpart, the PMNS matrix, these searches are particularly motivated, as the new…
We have studied how observables of the neutrino mixing matrix can link up with the ones in the quark sector. The deviation from the bi-maximal flavor mixing is parameterized using a 3 x 3 unitary matrix. The neutrino mixings are…
We consider charged lepton correction to Tri-bimaximal(TBM) neutrino mixing, defined by the relation $U_{PMNS}=U^{\dagger}_l U_{TB}$ and find possible form of $U_l$ which can impart non-zero value of $\sin \theta_{13}$ as well as $\tan^2…
We present a revised version of the so-called "yukawaon model", which was proposed for the purpose of a unified description of the lepton mixing matrix $U_{PMNS}$ and the quark mixing matrix $V_{CKM}$. It is assumed from a phenomenological…
An explicit form of charged--lepton mass matrix, predicting $ m_\tau = 1776.80 $~MeV from the experimental values of $ m_e $ and $ m_\mu$ (in good agreement with the experimental figure $ m_\tau = 1777.05^{+0.29}_{-0.26}$ MeV), is applied…
Proposed symmetry relations, e.g., quark-lepton complementarity (QLC) or tribimaximal mixing (TBM), need to be imposed at a high scale $\wedge \sim 10^{12}$ GeV characterising the large masses of right-handed neutrinos required to implement…
We propose two schemes for the lepton mixing matrix $U = U_l^\dagger U_\nu$, where $U = U_l$ refers to the charged sector, and $U_\nu$ denotes the neutrino diagonalization matrix. We assume $U_\nu$ to be CP conserving and its three angles…
The tri-bimaximal mixing matrix is most likely the leading order term in the description of leptonic mixing. We derive deviations from tri-bimaximal mixing(TBM) due to corrections from the charged lepton sector. We assume a decoupled 2-3…
The CKM matrix elements $V_{td}$, $V_{ts}$ and $V_{tb}$, while notoriously hard to measure directly in experiment, can be determined to great precision within the Standard Model (SM) with a minimal set of observables due to unitarity of…
Although tribimaximal mixing (TBM) and quark-lepton complementarity (QLC) are both compatible with experimental data within one standard deviation ($ 1 \sigma$), the TBM and QLC assumptions are mutually exclusive by $56 \sigma$.
The recently observed lepton mixing angle $\theta_{13}$ of the MNS mixing matrix is well incorporated in a universal mixing hypothesis between quark and lepton sectors. This hypothesis asserts that, in the charged lepton diagonal base, all…
Based on an approach to quark and lepton masses, where the mass spectra originate in vacuum expectation values of U(3) flavor nonet (gauge singlet) scalars, neutrino masses and mixing are investigated. As an offshoot of this approach, it is…
