We reconstruct the neutrino mass matrix in the flavor basis, using experimental data on neutrino oscillations. Both normal and inverted hierarchy (ordering) of the mass spectrum are considered. The dependence of the matrix structure on CP…
We demonstrate that the flavor oscillation when a neutrino travels through spacetime, is equivalent to permanent changes on the vacuum state condition perceived by the same particle. This can be visualized via the Quantum Yang Baxter…
In the standard model of neutrino oscillations, the neutrino flavor states are mixtures of mass-eigenstates, and the phenomena are well described by the neutrino mixing matrix, i.e., the PMNS matrix. I review the recent progress on…
We explore the implications of imposing the constraint that two neutrino flavors (which for definiteness we take to be the mu and tau neutrinos) are similarly coupled to the mass basis in addition to the unitarity constraints. We allow…
We stress that specific texture zeros of lepton mass matrices, which might dynamically arise from a new kind of flavor symmetry, can help us to establish simple and testable relations between the lepton flavor mixing parameters and lepton…
The recent observational data supports the deviation from Tri-bimaximal (TBM) mixings. Different neutrino mass models suggest the interdependency among the observational parameters involving the mixing angles. On phenomenological ground we…
As is widely known, the flavour and mass eigenbasis in neutrino sector can be related by a reduced unitary matrix, described by 3 real parameters and one phase, for Dirac neutrinos, and 2 extra phases if neutrinos are Majorana particles.…
We suggest a simple modification of the maximal mixing scenario (with $S_3$ permutation symmetry) for three light neutrinos. Our neutrino mass matrix has smaller permutation symmetry $S_{2}$ ($\nu_{\mu} \leftrightarrow \nu_{e}$), and is…
In this talk I review the present status of neutrino masses and mixing and some of their implications for particle physics phenomenology. I first discuss the minimum extension of the Standard Model of particle physics required to…
The MNS matrix structure emerging as a result of recent neutrino measurements strongly suggests two large mixing angles (solar and atmospheric) and one small angle (|U_e3| << 1). Especially when combined with the neutrino mass hierarchy,…
Recently, a curious neutrino mass matrix has been proposed: it is related to up-quark masses, and it can excellently give a nearly tribimaxial mixing. It is pointed out that, in order to obtain such successful results, three…
A rephasing invariant parametrization is introduced for three flavor neutrino mixing. For neutrino propagation in matter, these parameters are shown to obey evolution equations as functions of the induced neutrino mass. These equations are…
Working in the framework of three chiral neutrinos with Majorana masses, we investigate a scenario where the neutrino mass matrix is strictly off-diagonal in the flavor basis, with all its diagonal entries precisely zero.
Stimulated by a successful quark mass matrix model based on U(3)$\times$U(3)$'$ family symmetry, a phenomenological neutrino mass matrix for the Majorana neutrinos $(\nu_L, \nu_R^c, N_L, N_R^c)$ is proposed. The model has only three…
We look for predictive flavour patterns of the effective Majorana neutrino mass matrix that are compatible with current neutrino oscillation data. Our search is based on the assumption that the neutrino mass matrix contains equal elements…
Neutrino masses arise via a seesaw mechanism and its mass hierarchy, with assumption that heavy Majorana neutrino mass matrix subject to $\mu-\tau$ symmetry and invariant under a cyclic permutation, are evaluated. Within this scenario, the…
In this paper, we propose a scotogenic model of neutrino masses with flavor-dependent $U(1)_{B-3L_\alpha}(\alpha=e, \mu, \tau)$ gauge symmetry, in which neutrinos are generated at one-loop level and a fermion dark matter is naturally…
Measurements of various features of the fluxes of atmospheric and solar neutrinos have provided evidence for neutrino oscillations and therefore for neutrino masses and mixing. We review the phenomenology of neutrino oscillations in vacuum…
The form of the leptonic mixing matrix emerging from experiment has, in the last few years, generated a lot of interest in the so-called tribimaximal type. This form may be naturally associated with the possibility of a discrete permutation…
New theory of neutrino masses and mixing is introduced. This theory is based on a simple S_3 symmetric democratic neutrino mass matrix, and predicts the neutrino mass spectrum of normal ordering. Taking into account the matter effect and…
