We study all possible neutrino mass matrices with one zero element and two equal non-zero elements, known as hybrid texture neutrino mass matrices. In the diagonal charged lepton basis, we consider thirty nine such possible cases which are…
The minimal Standard Model extension with the Weinberg operator does accommodate the observed neutrino masses and mixing, but predicts a neutrinoless double beta ($0\nu\beta\beta$) decay rate proportional to the effective electron neutrino…
The predictions for the effective Majorana mass |<m>| in neutrinoless double-beta decay in the case of 3-neutrino mixing and massive Majorana neutrinos are reviewed. The physics potential of the experiments, searching for neutrinoless…
An explicit form of charged--lepton mass matrix, predicting $ m_\tau = 1776.80 $~MeV from the experimental values of $ m_e $ and $ m_\mu$ (in good agreement with the experimental figure $ m_\tau = 1777.05^{+0.29}_{-0.26}$ MeV), is applied…
Experimental results and perspectives of different methods to measure the absolute mass scale of neutrinos are briefly reviewed. The mass sensitivities from cosmological observations, double beta decay searches and single beta decay…
Assuming that neutrinos are Majorana particles, in a three generation framework, current and future neutrino oscillation experiments can determine six out of the nine parameters which fully describe the structure of the neutrino mass…
In this work we carry out a systematic texture study of the neutrino mass matrix with the ansatzes - (i) one vanishing minor and (ii) the zero sum of the mass eigenvalues with the CP phases (henceforth vanishing trace). There are six…
The conjecture that among three massive neutrinos $\nu_1, \nu_2, \nu_3$ there is no direct mixing between $\nu_1$ and $\nu_3$ leads to a two-mixing texture for three active neutrinos $\nu_e, \nu_\mu, \nu_\tau$. This texture, much discussed…
The study of the neutrinoless double beta ($0 \beta\beta$) decay mode can provide us with important information on the neutrino properties, particularly on the electron neutrino absolute mass. In this work we revise the present constraints…
We present analyses of the sixty hybrid textures of neutrino mass matrix, which have an equality of matrix elements and one zero. These textures are possibly derived in the models with discrete flavor symmetry. Only six textures among sixty…
We show that in theories that reduce, at the Fermi scale, to an extension of the standard model with two doublets, there can be additional dimension five operators giving rise to neutrino masses. In particular there exists a singlet…
It is shown that, in the framework of the scheme with three-neutrino mixing and a mass hierarchy, the results of neutrino oscillation experiments imply an upper bound of about 10^{-2} eV for the effective Majorana mass in neutrinoless…
The implications of a large value of the effective Majorana neutrino mass for a class of two texture zero neutrino mass matrices have been studied in the flavor basis. It is found that these textures predict near maximal atmospheric…
The original Zee model can easily accommodate a bi-maximal mixing solution for the atmospheric and solar neutrino problems. From the most recent fit to the data we obtain a set of parameters for the Zee model. However, the recent claim on a…
In this paper, we emphasize why it is important for future neutrinoless double-beta ($0\nu\beta\beta$) decay experiments to reach the sensitivity to the effective neutrino mass $|m^{}_{\beta\beta}| \approx 1~{\rm meV}$. Assuming such a…
Experimental bounds on the neutrino lifetime depend on the nature of the neutrinos and the details of the potentially new physics responsible for neutrino decay. In the case where the decays involve active neutrinos in the final state, the…
A brief summary of the status of neutrino masses, mixing and oscillations is presented. Neutrinoless double $\beta$-decay is considered. Predictions for the effective Majorana mass are reviewed. A possible test of the calculations of…
Double beta decay is indispensable to solve the question of the neutrino mass matrix together with $\nu$ oscillation experiments. The most sensitive experiment - since eight years the HEIDELBERG-MOSCOW experiment in Gran-Sasso - already…
Out of the fifteen 3 x 3 neutrino mass matrices with two texture zeros seven are compatible with the neutrino oscillation data. While 2 of them correspond to hierarchical neutrino masses and 1 to an inverted hierarchy, the remaining 4…
In short-baseline experiments such as LSND and MiniBooNE, an excess of electron neutrinos has been observed, originating from a muon neutrino beam. To address this anomaly, in the line of many works, we investigate various neutrino mixing…
