We make a model-independent analysis of all available data that indicate neutrino oscillations. Using probability diagrams, we confirm that a mass spectrum with two nearly degenerate pairs of neutrinos separated by a mass gap of $\simeq1$…
Supersymmetry with broken R-parity can explain the neutrino mass squared differences and mixing angles observed in neutrino oscillation experiments. In the minimal model, where R-parity is broken only by bilinear terms, certain decay…
Sterile neutrinos are known to be hypothetical neutrinos which do not interact via the fundamental interactions described within the Standard Model of Particles Physics i.e. electroweak and strong interactions. They are expected to be…
The fate of R-parity is one of the central issues in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM). Gauged $B-L$ symmetry provides a natural framework for addressing this question. Recently, it was pointed out that the minimal such…
Our knowledge of the neutrino sector of the Standard Model has recently undergone a revolution. Deficits of the atmospheric muon neutrino flux and the solar electron neutrino flux compared to their predicted values can be understood in…
A generalized phenomenological (3 + 2 + 1)-model with three active and three sterile neutrinos is considered for the calculation of the neutrino oscillation characteristics at normal mass hierarchy of active neutrinos and significant…
The totality of present neutrino data seems to require four light neutrinos, but only three of them can be the neutral components of left-handed lepton doublets. To accommodate one or more naturally light singlet neutrino(s), an extra U(1)…
We study the R-parity violating minimal supergravity models accounting for the observed neutrino masses and mixing, which can be tested in future collider experiments. The bi-large mixing can be explained by allowing five dominant…
A localized wave packet exhibits under certain conditions zitterbewegung. A similar phenomenon occurs for the chirality of a massive particle. In the case of massive neutrinos, since they are detected via the V-A weak charged currents, this…
The Standard Model has been incredibly successful in predicting the outcome of almost all the experiments done up so far. In it, neutrinos are mass-less. However, in recent years we have accumulated evidence pointing to tiny masses for the…
The MiniBooNE collaboration recently reported further evidence for the existence of sterile neutrinos, implying substantial mixing with the left-handed active neutrinos and at a comparable mass scale. I argue that while sterile neutrinos…
The opportunity to accommodate three flavors of sterile neutrinos exists within the exceptional group $E_{\rm 6}$. Implications of this description are discussed.
We implement a schizophrenic scenario for the active neutrinos in a model in which there are also exotic right-handed neutrinos making a model with a local U(1)_(B-L) anomaly free. Two of right-handed neutrinos carry B-L=-4 while the third…
We consider the mass generation for both charginos and neutralinos in a 3-3-1 supersymmetric model. We show that R-parity breaking interactions leave the electron and one of the neutrinos massless at the tree level. However the same…
On the basis of the experimental data allowing existence of the anomalies going beyond the minimally extended Standard Model with three active neutrinos with different masses, we consider the generalized model with three active and three…
We present a four-neutrino model with three active neutrinos and one sterile neutrino which naturally has maximal $\nu_\mu\to\nu_\tau$ oscillations of atmospheric neutrinos and can explain the solar neutrino and LSND results. The model…
We review models for neutrino mass, with special emphasis in supersymmetric models where R-parity is broken either explicitly or spontaneously. The simplest unified extension of the MSSM with explicit bilinear R-parity violation provides a…
I suggest a model based on a softly broken symmetry L_e - L_mu - L_tau and on Babu's mechanism for two-loops radiative generation of the neutrino masses. The model predicts that one of the physical neutrinos (nu_3) is massless and that its…
We focus in future proposals to measure coherent neutrino-nuclei scattering and we show that such kind of experiments are very sensitive to nonstandard neutrino interactions with quarks. First in a model independent parametrization and then…
Starting from a complete set of possible parametrisations of the quark-mass matrices that have the maximum number of texture zeros at the grand unification scale, and the Georgi-Jarlskog mass relations, we classify the neutrino spectra with…
