We explore an extension of the fourth generation model with multi-Higgs doublets and three fermion singlets. The Standard Model neutrinos acquire mass radiatively at one loop level while the fourth generation neutrinos acquire a heavy…
Precision cosmology and big-bang nucleosynthesis mildly favor extra radiation in the universe beyond photons and ordinary neutrinos, lending support to the existence of low-mass sterile neutrinos. We use the WMAP 7-year data, small-scale…
We have considered a model \cite{ma-weg}, where masses and a mixing pattern for neutrinos are governed by six Higgs triplets and $A_4$ symmetry. In this model we have applied a certain diagonalisation procedure through which we have shown…
It is shown that if small neutrino masses owe their origin to the conventional seesaw mechanism and the MNS mixing matrix is in the exact bimaximal form, then there exist symmetries in the theory that allow one of the righthanded neutrinos…
A light sterile neutrino species has been introduced to explain simultaneously the solar and atmospheric neutrino puzzles and the results of the LSND experiment, while providing for a hot component of dark matter. Employing this scheme of…
The simplest way to simultaneously understand all existing indications of neutrino oscillations from solar and atmospheric neutrino deficits and the LSND experiment, seems to be to postulate a sterile neutrino. We present a realistic grand…
The mixing of three and four massive neutrinos is considered. It is shown that the neutrino oscillation data are not compatible with a hierarchy of couplings in the three-neutrino case. In the case of four neutrinos, a hierarchy of masses…
We study a 3+1 active-sterile neutrino mixings model using an $A_4$ triplet right-handed neutrino $\nu_R$ and a singlet eV-scale sterile neutrino under $A_4\times Z_3 \times Z_2$ discrete symmetry. Four scalar flavons are considered to…
We present a short review of the present status of the problem of neutrino masses and mixing. The existing experimental results indicate that there are at least four massive neutrinos. We show that only two schemes with mixing of four…
A review of the problem of neutrino mass, mixing and oscillations is given. Possible phenomenological schemes of neutrino mixing are discussed. The most important consequences of neutrino mixing--neutrino oscillations are considered in some…
The interpretation of the existing experimental evidences for oscillations of neutrinos in schemes with three and four neutrino mixing is reviewed. Forms of the lepton mixing matrix allowed by the neutrino oscillation data are considered.…
The recent analysis of the normalization of reactor antineutrino data, the calibration data of solar neutrino experiments using gallium targets, and the results from the neutrino oscillation experiment MiniBooNE suggest the existence of a…
The smallness of the neutrino masses can be well understood within the seesaw mechanism. We analyse two cases of the minimal extension of the standard model when one or two right-handed fields are added to the three left-handed fields. A…
We propose a new supersymmetric left right model with Higgs doublets carrying odd B-L charge, higgs bidoublet and heavy Higgs triplets with zero B-L charge and a set of sterile neutrinos which are singlet under the gauge group. We show that…
We consider the minimal extension of the Standard Model with three generations of massive neutrinos that mix. We then determine the parameters of the model that satisfy all experimental constraints.
Light sterile neutrinos might mix with the active ones and be copiously produced in the early Universe. In the present paper, a detailed multi-flavor analysis of sterile neutrino production is performed. Making some justified approximations…
The discovery of neutrino masses implies the existence of new particles, the sterile neutrinos. These particles can have important implications for cosmology and astrophysics. A sterile neutrino with mass of a few keV can account for the…
We propose a neutrinophilic two-Higgs-doublet model, where the vacuum expectation value (VEV) of the second Higgs doublet is only induced at one-loop level via several neutral fermions. Thus, the masses of active neutrinos arising from the…
We discuss which information on neutrino masses and mixing can be obtained from the results of all neutrino oscillation experiments in the cases of three and four massive neutrinos. We show that in the three-neutrino case the neutrino…
Restrictions on the neutrino masses and lepton mixing are reviewed. Solar, atmospheric and relic neutrinos give the indications of existence of nonzero neutrino masses and mixing. The data pick up two regions of mixing angles which are or…
