Based on the observed neutrino mass-square differences and mixings, we derive a few general patterns for the neutrino mass matrix in the flavor basis, which can correctly describe the atmospheric and solar neutrino data. Upon the most…

Two most outstanding questions are puzzling the world of neutrino Physics: the possible Majorana nature of neutrinos and their absolute mass scale. Direct neutrino mass measurements and neutrinoless double beta decay (0nuDBD) are the…

We have discussed predictions of $|U_{e3}|$ and $J_{CP}$ in the framework of the neutrino mass matrix with two zeros. In the case of the best fit values of $\tan^2\theta_{12}$, $\tan^2\theta_{23}$, $\Delta m^2_{\rm sun}$ and $\Delta m_{\rm…

Using a three neutrino framework we investigate bounds for the effective Majorana neutrino mass matrix. The mass measured in neutrinoless double beta decay is its (11) element. Lepton-number and -flavor violating processes sensitive to each…

All existing data on neutrino oscillations (including those from the LSND experiment) imply a four neutrino scheme with six different allowed mass patterns. Some of the latter are shown to be disfavored by using a conservative upper bound…

The possibility to observe the neutrino-less double $ \beta $ decay and thus to prove the Majorana nature of neutrino as well as provide a sensitive measure of its mass is a major challenge of to-day's neutrino physics. As an attractive…

In this proceeding we present predictions of the effective Majorana mass $|m_{\beta\beta}|$ in neutrinoless double-$\beta$ decay for the standard $3\nu$ mixing case and for the 3+1 neutrino mixing case indicated by the short-baseline…

The latest cosmological constraints on the sum of neutrino masses, in combination with the latest laboratory measurements on oscillations, provide ``decisive" Bayesian evidence for the normal neutrino mass hierarchy. We show that this…

The MNS matrix structure emerging as a result of recent neutrino measurements strongly suggests two large mixing angles (solar and atmospheric) and one small angle (|U_e3| << 1). Especially when combined with the neutrino mass hierarchy,…

After nearly 80 years since the first guess on its existence, neutrino still escapes our insight: the mass and the true nature (Majorana or Dirac) of this particle is still unknown. In the past ten years, neutrino oscillation experiments…

Neutrinoless double beta decay is a very important process both from the particle and nuclear physics point of view. Its observation will severely constrain the existing models and signal that the neutrinos are massive Majorana particles.…

We derive a model-independent upper bound on the scale of Majorana-neutrino mass generation. The upper bound is $4\pi v^2/\sqrt 3 m_\nu$, where $v \simeq 246$ GeV is the weak scale and $m_\nu$ is the Majorana neutrino mass. For neutrino…
