We have done a phenomenological study on the neutrino mass matrix $M_\nu$ favoring two zero texture in the framework of left-right symmetric model (LRSM) where type I and type II seesaw naturally occurs. The type I seesaw mass term is…
The observed flavor oscillations of solar and atmospheric neutrinos determine several elements of the leptonic mixing matrix, but leave open the small mixing angle Theta_13, a possible CP-violating phase, the mass ordering, the absolute…
We review recent work on the interplay between broken family symmetries which give rise to approximate texture zeros in the mass matrices of the quarks and leptons and the presence of certain hierarchy patterns in the spectrum of massive…
We discuss the linkage between dark matter mass in the one-loop radiative seesaw model and the effective neutrino mass for the neutrino less double beta decay. This linkage, which has been already numerically suggested, is confirmed to be a…
Texture zeroes in neutrino mass matrix $M_\nu$ may give us hints about the symmetries involved in neutrino mass generation. We examine the viability of such texture zeroes in a model independent way through a bottom-up approach. Using…
We generalize a recently proposed on-shell approach to renormalize the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa quark-mixing matrix to the case of an extended leptonic sector that includes Dirac and Majorana neutrinos in the framework of the seesaw…
We present a model of neutrino masses combining the seesaw mechanism and strong Dirac mass hierarchy and at the same time exhibiting a significantly reduced hierarchy at the level of active neutrino masses. The heavy Majorana masses are…
In the present paper, we have studied that the implication of a large value of the effective Majorana neutrino mass in case of neutrino mass matrices having either two equal elements and one zero element (popularly known as hybrid texture)…
The seesaw mechanism provides a simple explanation for the lightness of the known neutrinos. Under the standard assumption of a weak scale Dirac mass and a heavy sterile Majorana scale the neutrino mass is naturally suppressed below the…
After summarizing neutrino oscillation results I discuss high and low-scale seesaw mechanisms, with or without supersymmetry, as well as recent attempts to understand the pattern of neutrino mixing from flavor symmetries. I also mention the…
The Type I, II and hybrid (I+II) seesaw mechanism, which explain why neutrinos are especially light, are consequences of the left-right symmetric model (LRSM). They can be classified by the ranges of parameters of LRSM. We show that a…
We study the implications of the simultaneous existence of a texture zero and a vanishing minor in the neutrino mass matrix. There are thirty six possible texture structures of this type, twenty one of which reduce to two texture zero cases…
In this paper we analyze the compatibility of two-zero neutrino Majorana textures with the recent experimental data. Differently from previous works, we use the experimental data to fix the values of the non-vanishing mass matrix entries…
The Majorana nature of neutrinos is strongly motivated from the theoretical and phenomenological point of view. A plethora of neutrino mass models, known collectively as Seesaw models, exist that could generate both a viable neutrino mass…
Recently, we have a confidence that neutrino has a tiny mass and mixing does exist among neutrino flovors as one can see from experimental data that reported by many collaborations. Based on experimental data that flavor mixing does exist…
