We reconstruct the neutrino mass matrix in the flavor basis, using all available experimental data on neutrino oscillations. Majorana nature of neutrinos, normal mass hierarchy (ordering) and validity of the LMA MSW solution of the solar…
We show that all nontrivial CP-violating phases can be determined in terms of three lepton flavor mixing angles and the ratio of $\Delta m^2_{\rm sun}$ to $\Delta m^2_{\rm atm}$ in the minimal seesaw model in which the…
A new theoretical insight into the pattern of neutrino mixing and leptonic $CP$ violation is presented. It leads naturally and uniquely to a specific dark sector of three real neutral scalar singlets, with the radiative implementation of…
We discuss effects of Majorana CP violation in a model-independent way for a given phase structure of flavor neutrino masses. To be more predictive, we confine ourselves to models with $\det(M_\nu)=0$, where $M_\nu$ is a flavor neutrino…
A model independent analysis of the leptonic Dirac CP-violating phase ({\delta}) is presented. The analysis uses the experimentally determined values of the mixing angles in the lepton mixing matrix in order to explore the allowed values…
The seesaw model of quark masses is studied systematically, focusing on its developments. A framework allowing the top quark mass to be of the order of the electroweak symmetry breaking scale, while the remaining light quarks have much…
The related issues of Majorana CP violation in the lepton sector and leptogenesis are investigated in detail in two rather generic supersymmetric models with type I see-saw mechanism of neutrino mass generation and A_4 flavour symmetry,…
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…
We study the perspective to observe lepton number violating signatures from heavy Majorana neutrino decays at colliders in view of the requirement to explain the light neutrino masses via the seesaw mechanism. In the minimal model with only…
We consider the generation of a baryon asymmetry in an extension of the Standard Model with two singlet Majorana fermions that are degenerate above the electroweak phase transition. The model can explain neutrino masses as well as the…
The $\mu\nu$SSM provides a solution to the $\mu$ problem of the MSSM and explains the origin of neutrino masses by simply using right-handed neutrino superfields. We have completed the analysis of the vacua in this model, studying the…
We show that in see-saw models of neutrino mass a la SUSY SO(10), the observed large mixing in atmospheric neutrinos naturally leads to large b-s transitions. If the associated new CP phase turns out to be large, this SUSY contributions can…
Sixty years after the experimental discovery of CP violation in the quark sector, the existence of a similar CP violation in the lepton sector is still to be established. Actually, the structure of such a violation depends crucially on the…
Effects of CP-violating phases in active-sterile solar neutrino oscillations are discussed in a general scheme of 3+N_{s} mixing, without any constraint on the mixing between the three active and the N_{s} sterile neutrinos, assuming only a…
The observation of neutrino masses leads to the possibility of leptonic mixing and CP violation. One of the simplest extensions of the Standard Model giving rise to neutrino masses consists of the introduction of one righthanded neutrino…
We present neutrino mass matrices which predict the atmospheric neutrino mixing to be almost maximal, $\sin^2 2\theta_{atm}>0.999$, as well as the large solar neutrino mixing, $8/9>\sin^2 2\theta_{sol}>0.87$, and the large CP violation (the…
The Daya Bay Collaboration (An et al) has recently proclaimed discovery of non-zero reactor angle, $\theta_{13}$, $\sin^{2}2\theta_{13}$=0.092$\pm$0.016(stat)$\pm$0.005(syst), at $5.2\sigma$ which is in conformity with the earlier…
Motivated by the fact that the Dirac phase in the PMNS matrix is the only CP-violating parameter in the leptonic sector that can be measured in neutrino oscillation experiments, we examine the possibility that it is the dominant source of…
Effects of the lightest neutrino mass in "flavoured" leptogenesis when the CP-violation necessary for the generation of the baryon asymmetry of the Universe is due exclusively to the Dirac and/or Majorana phases in the neutrino mixing…
We present a necessary condition on the solar oscillation amplitude for CP violation to be detectable through neutrinoless double beta (0\nu\beta\beta) decay. It depends only on the fractional uncertainty in the \nu_e-\nu_e element of the…
