We motivate the simplest ansatz for the neutrino mass matrix consistent with the data from neutrino oscillation experiments, and admitting CP violation. It has only two free parameters: an arbitrary mass-scale and a small dimensionless…
Huang et al. [arXiv:1804.03101] have analysed the population of 15 known galactic Double Neutron Stars (DNSs) regarding the total masses of these systems. They suggest the existence of two sub-populations, and report likelihood-based…
Cosmology plays a fundamental role to determine the neutrino mass, therefore also to determine its mass hierarchy, since the massive neutrino contributes to the total matter density in the Universe at the background and perturbation levels,…
It is well known that the neutrino mass matrix contains more parameters than experimentalists can hope to measure in the foreseeable future even if we impose CP invariance. Thus, various authors have proposed ansatzes to restrict the form…
We conjecture that neutrino physics might correspond to the spontaneous magnetisation phase of an Ising-like spin model interaction coupled to neutrino chirality which operates at scales close to the Planck mass. We argue that this scenario…
We study the constraints that electroweak precision data can impose, after the discovery of the Higgs boson by the LHC, on neutrinophilic two-Higgs-doublet models which comprise one extra $SU(2)\times U(1)$ doublet and a new symmetry,…
We discuss large non-universality in the Higgs sector at high scale in supersymmetric theories, in the context of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In particular, we note that if ${m_{H_u}}^2-{m_{H_d}}^2$ is large and negative ($\simeq 10^6…
In the next 10 years medium baseline reactor neutrino experiments will attempt to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy and to precisely measure {\theta}_12. Both of these determinations will be more reliable if data from identical…
A range of experimental results point to the existence of a massive neutrino. The recent high precision measurements of the cosmic microwave background and the large scale surveys of galaxies can be used to place an upper bound on this…
The Neutrino Option is a scenario where the Higgs mass is generated at the same time as neutrino masses in the type-I seesaw model. This framework provides a dynamical origin for the scalar potential of the Standard Model and suggests a new…
We make a frequentist analysis of the parameter space of the NUHM2, in which the soft supersymmetry (SUSY)-breaking contributions to the masses of the two Higgs multiplets, $m^2_{H_{u,d}}$, vary independently from the universal soft…
We consider the problem of trying to understand the recently measured neutrino data simultaneously with understanding the heirarchical form of quark and charged lepton Yukawa matrices. We summarise the data that a sucessful model of…
We explore the physics potential of multi-megaton scale ice or water Cherenkov detectors with low ($\sim 1$ GeV) threshold. Using some proposed characteristics of the PINGU detector setup we compute the distributions of events versus…
In this paper, we have constrained the neutrino mass and mass hierarchy in the $\Lambda$CDM cosmology with the neutrino mass hierarchy parameter $\Delta$, which represents different mass orderings, by using the {\it Planck} 2015 + BAO + SN…
We construct a model that allows us to determine the three neutrino masses and the mass matrix directly from the experimental mass squared differences delta atm and delta sol, using the assumptions of rational hierarchy (m1/m2 = m2/m3) and…
Recently, an extension of the standard model based on ideas of Lee and Wick has been discussed. This theory is free of quadratic divergences and hence has a Higgs mass that is stable against radiative corrections. Here, we address the…
We quantitatively analyze the meson mass inequality relations of two dimensional gauged four fermi models in the large N limit. The class of models we study includes the 't Hooft model, the chiral and non-chiral Gross-Neveu models as…
Leptonic \textit{CP} violation search, neutrino mass hierarchy determination, and the precision measurement of oscillation parameters for a unitary test of the leptonic mixing matrix are among the major targets of the ongoing and future…
Wilk's theorem, which offers universal chi-squared approximations for likelihood ratio tests, is widely used in many scientific hypothesis testing problems. For modern datasets with increasing dimension, researchers have found that the…
The prediction of possible ordering of neutrino masses relies mostly on the model selected. Alienating the $\mu-\tau$ interchange symmetry from discrete flavour symmetry based models, turns the neutrino mass matrix less predictive. But this…
