Recent proposals to study the mass of the "electron" neutrino at a sensitivity of 0.3 eV can be used to place limits on the right handed and scalar charged currents at a level which improves on the present experimental limits. Indeed the…
The basic characteristics used for the description of both Dirac and Majorana massive neutrinos are studied. Currently available experimental data for these characteristics are presented with an evidence of possible anomalies beyond the…
We study a model for the mass matrices of the leptons. We are ablte to relate the mass eigenvalues of the charged leptons and of the neutrinos to the mxiing angles and can predict the masses of the neutrinos. We find a normal hierarchy -the…
Core-collapse supernovae (SNe) are one of the most powerful cosmic sources of neutrinos, with energies of several MeV. The emission of neutrinos and antineutrinos of all flavors carries away the gravitational binding energy of the compact…
With the recent experimental advance in our precise knowledge of the neutrino oscillation parameters, the correct form of the 3 X 3 neutrino mass matrix is now approximately known. I discuss how this may be obtained from symmetry…
Neutrinos are neutral, spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ particles which undergo only weak interactions. The experimentally observed phenomenon of neutrino oscillation establishes the fact that neutrinos are massive and there is mixing between different…
Based on principles of the Expansive Nondecelerative Universe model that enables to quantify and localize the gravitational energy density, and stemming from the see-saw mechanism, the mass of electron, muon and tau neutrinos are determined…
Building on earlier studies, we investigate the possibility to determine the type of neutrino mass spectrum (i.e., "the neutrino mass hierarchy") in a high statistics reactor electron antineutrino experiment with a relatively large…
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…
The determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy, whether the $\nu _3$ neutrino mass eigenstate is heavier or lighter than the $\nu _1$ and $\nu _2$ mass eigenstates, is one of the remaining undetermined fundamental aspects of the Standard…
The sum of the masses of the three neutrino mass eigenstates is now constrained both from above and below, and lies between 55 and 6900 meV. The lower limit is set by neutrino oscillations and the fact that masses are non-negative. The…
Distortions of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature and polarization maps caused by gravitational lensing, observable with high angular resolution and high sensitivity, can be used to measure the neutrino mass. Assuming two…
The neutrino mass hierarchy can be determined, in principle, by measuring a phase in the disappearance oscillation probability in vacuum, without relying on the matter effect, using a single channel. This phase is not the same for the…
We investigate the possibility of producing neutrinoless double beta decay without having an electron neutrino with a mass in the vicinity of 1 eV. We do so by having a much lighter electron neutrino mix with a much heavier (m > 1 GeV)…
We propose a radiatively-induced neutrino mass model at one-loop level by introducing a pair of doubly-charged fermions and a few multi-charged bosons. We investigate the contributions of the model to neutrino masses, lepton-flavor…
The differential rates and emissivities of neutrino pairs from an equilibrium plasma are calculated for the wide range of density and temperature encountered in astrophysical systems. New analytical expressions are derived for the…
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…
For neutrino mixing we propose to use the parameter set $X_{i}$ $(=|V_{ei}|^{2})$ and $\Omega_{i}$ $(=\epsilon_{ijk}|V_{\mu j}|^{2}|V_{\tau k}|^{2})$, with two constraints. These parameters are directly measurable since the neutrino…
We apply Koide's mass relation of charged leptons to neutrinos and quarks, with both the normal and inverted mass schemes of neutrinos discussed. We introduce the parameters $k_{\nu}$, $k_u$ and $k_d$ to describe the deviations of neutrinos…
Recently it is advocated that high intensity and low energy $(E_\nu \sim 2 GeV)$ neutrino beams should be built to probe the $(13)$ mixing angle $\phi$ to a level of a few parts in $10^4$. Experiments using such beams will have better…
