Theories in which neutrino masses are generated by a conventional see-saw mechanism generically yield masses which are O(v^2) in units where M_{Pl}=1, which is naively too small to explain the results from SuperKamiokande. In supersymmetric…
We try to gain an understanding of the recent Superkamiokande data on neutrino oscillations and several other important phenomenological issues within the framework of supersymmetric $SU(4)_c \times SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R$ ($\equiv…
As an alternative for popular see-saw mechanism, the option of three pseudo% -Dirac neutrinos is discussed, where ${1/2}(m^{(L)} + m^{(R)}) \ll m^{(D)}$ for their Majorana and Dirac masses. The actual neutrino mass matrix is assumed in the…
Determining the absolute masses of neutrinos is of fundamental importance in particle physics, nuclear physics, and astrophysics. We conjecture that intrinsic mass relations exist between leptons and quarks. Using these relations and…
A two-parameter neutrino mass formula is described, giving a moderately hierarchical spectrum m_1 < m_2 < m_3 consistent with the experimental estimates of Delta m^2_{21} and Delta m^2_{32}. The formula follows from a three-parameter…
An SO(10) SUSY GUT model was previously presented based on a minimal set of Higgs fields. The quark and lepton mass matrices derived fitted the data extremely well and led to large mixing of muon- and tau-neutrinos in agreement with the…
In the context of the supersymmetric flipped $SU(5)\otimes U(1)$ GUT model, we have studied in detail the neutrino mass spectrum, obtaining an approximate formula for the corresponding effective three-generation mass matrix. It is found…
We discussed neutrino masses and mixings in SUSY SO(10) model where quarks and leptons have Yukawa couplings to at least two 10 and one $\bar{126}$ Higgs scalars. In this model, the Dirac and the right-handed Majorana mass terms are…
We present the evolution equation describing MSW conversion, derived in the framework of the Schr\"odinger approach, in the presence of matter density fluctuations. Then we analyse the effect of such fluctuations in the MSW scenario as a…
The recent experimental results indicating the neutrino oscillations may strongly suggest that at least one more light neutrino species is required in order to reconcile the existing data. In the simple GUT frameworks, this fact seems…
We study the effect of random matter density fluctuations in the sun on resonant neutrino conversion in matter by solving numerically the evolution equation for the neutrino system including the full effect of the random matter density…
We give an analytical calculation of solar neutrino masses and mixing at one-loop order within bilinear R-parity breaking supersymmetry, and compare our results to the exact numerical calculation. Our method is based on a systematic…
We propose a simple Ansatz for the three generation neutrino mass matrix $M_\nu$ which is motivated from an SO(10) grand unified theory. The Ansatz can be combined with information from neutrino oscillation experiments and bounds on…
We consider flavor changing effective neutrino interactions in the context of massive neutrinos in the issue of atmospheric neutrinos. Assuming as usual that this is an indication of the oscillation of muon neutrinos into tau neutrinos we…
Constraints on the core temperature (T_c) of the Sun and on neutrino- oscillation parameters are obtained from the existing solar neutrino data, including the recent GALLEX and Kamiokande III results. (1) A purely astrophysical solution to…
We find all possible relations among physical observables arising from neutrino mass matrices that describe in a natural way the currently observed pattern (tan_23 and tan_12 large, dm^2_Sun/dm^2_Atm and tan_13 small) in terms of a minimum…
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…
We review recent work on analytical solutions to the MSW equations for three neutrino flavours, for exponential and linear potentials. An application to a particular mass matrix is also discussed. The three neutrino masses are determined,…
The MSW (Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein) effect is the effect of transformation of one neutrino species (flavor) into another one in a medium with varying density. Three basic elements of the effect include: the refraction of neutrinos in…
Recent work on analytical solutions to the MSW equations for three neutrino flavours is reviewed, with emphasis on the exponential density. Application to a particular mass matrix, proposed by Lehmann, Newton and Wu, is also discussed.…
