We study the impact of very light sterile neutrinos (Delta m^2_new around 1 to 10 times 10^(-2) eV^2, sin^2 2theta_new<10^(-1)) on upcoming theta_13-driven reactor antineutrino experiments like Double-CHOOZ and Daya Bay. Oscillations driven…

If the origin of neutrino mass is at the TeV energy scale, collider experiments may in fact {\it map out} all the elements of the $3 \times 3$ neutrino mass matrix, up to an overall scale. Two examples \cite{mrs,ma01} are discussed and one…
We investigate the possibility of expressing the charged leptons and neutrino mass matrices as linear combinations of generators of a single finite group. Constraints imposed on the resulting mixing matrix by current data restrict the group…
