An alternative to the famous see-saw mechanism is proposed to explain the smallness of the neutrino masses (if present). This model involves a fourth family which mixes very little with the other three. It contains one heavy neutrino (mN >…
The atmospheric neutrino data imply large mixing between the $\nu_\mu$ and $\nu_\tau$ states, $\theta_{23} = (45\pm 12)^\circ$, while the MSW solution to the solar neutrino problem needs very small mixing angle $\theta_{12} = (2\pm…
A literature review of neutrino physics and the solar neutrino problem.
A solution for the neutrino mass and mixing pattern is proposed which is compatible with all available experimental data on neutrino oscillations. This solution involves Majorana neutrinos of the pseudo-Dirac type, i.e. m_Majorana <<…
It is shown that the high-Delta m^2 part of the large mixing angle MSW solution of the solar neutrino problem is disfavored by the Super-Kamiokande data for low-energy upward-going events. A quantitative bound is obtained in the…
The $\nu_{\mu} \to \nu_{\tau}$ and $\nu_{\mu} \to \nu_s$ solutions to the atmospheric neutrino problem are compared with SuperKamiokande data. The differences between these solutions due to matter effects in the Earth are calculated for the…
We obtain bounds for the neutrino masses by combining atmospheric and solar neutrino data with the phenomenology of neutrinoless double beta decay where hypothetical values of |< m>| are envisaged from future 0\nu\beta\beta-experiments.…
Models of neutrino masses are discussed capable of explaining in a natural way the maximal mixing between $\nu_{\mu}$ and $\nu_{\tau}$ observed by the Super-Kamiokande collaboration. For three generations of leptons two classes of such…
In the first part of these lectures the neutrino mixing hypothesis will be considered in detail. We will discuss the possible schemes of neutrino mixing and present the data of the recent experiments searching for effects due to…
We have long ago derived a theoretical relation between the mass of the electron and the fine structure constant \cite{Nottale1994}, which writes to lowest order $\alpha \ln (m_{\mathbb{P}}/m_e) = 3/8$ (where $m_{\mathbb{P}}$ is the Planck…
If the canonical seesaw mechanism alone is responsible for neutrino mass, i.e. m_nu = -m_D^2/m_N, it can neither be proved nor disproved at the TeV energy scale. A new verifiable mechanism of neutrino mass is proposed, using the "inverse"…
We construct a $SU(3)^3$ supersymmetric gauge theory with a common gauge coupling g. Spontaneous breaking of this gauge group at a scale $M_X=1.3\times10^{16} $GeV gives naturally rise exactly to the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model…
Neutrino oscillations as solutions of the solar neutrino problems and the atmospheric neutrino deficits may restrict neutrino mass squared differences and mixing angles in three-neutrino mixing scheme. Currently we have several solutions…
We present the status of FCNC solutions to the solar neutrino problem. Our analysis shows that the FCNC solutions with massless neutrinos provide a good fit to the latest solar neutrino data. Predictions for future experiments are…
We have derived previously the relations between the neutrino masses and mixing angles in a dispersive analysis on the mixing of neutral leptonic states. The only involved assumption is that the electroweak symmetry of the Standard Model…
If neutrino masses and mixings are suitable to explain the atmospheric and solar neutrino fluxes, this amounts to contributions to FCNC processes, in particular mu --> e, gamma. If the theory is supersymmetric and the origin of the masses…
The cosmological model in which 20% of the dark matter is shared by two nearly equal mass neutrinos fits the structure of the universe on all scales. This has been motivated a $\nu_\mu$-$\nu_{\tau}$ oscillation explanation of the deficit of…
We incorporate all existing solar neutrino flux measurements and take solar model flux uncertainties into account in deriving global fits to parameter space for the MSW and vacuum solutions of the solar neutrino problem.
A supersymmetric model based on a left-right symmetric gauge group is proposed where hybrid inflation, baryogenesis and neutrino oscillations are linked.This scheme, supplemented by a familiar ansatz for the neutrino Dirac masses and mixing…
If we impose the $\mu-\tau$ symmetry, as a constraint into neutrino mass matrix, one find that the Jarlskog rephasing invariant: $J_{\rm CP}=0$ which implies that CP violation cannot be accommodated in the $\mu-\tau$ symmetry scheme. By…
