We present a detailed discussion on neutrinoless double beta decay within a class of left-right symmetric models where neutrino mass originates by natural type-II seesaw dominance. The spontaneous symmetry breaking is implemented with…
If the electron neutrino has an effective nonzero Majorana mass, then neutrinoless double beta decay will occur. However, the latter is possible also with a negligible neutrino mass. We show how this may happen in a simple model of scalar…
We report on some phenomenological implications of a class of unified models based on SO(10) gauge group, with intermediate symmetry group containing SU(2)_R. Interesting predictions for neutrino masses are discussed, which are relevant…
Naturalness of the neutrino mass hierarchy and mixing is studied. First we select among 12 neutrino mixing patterns a few patterns, which could form the natural neutrino mass matrix. Further we show that if the Dirac neutrino mass matrix is…
We present a systematic search for SUSY-SO(10) models which predict the neutrino properties. The models are based on the five sets of quark mass matrices, with texture zeros, discussed recently by Roberts, Ramond and Ross. We found 8 such…
We evaluate the discovery probability of a combined analysis of proposed neutrinoless double-beta decay experiments in a scenario with normal ordered neutrino masses. The discovery probability strongly depends on the value of the lightest…
We study the phenomenological consequences of recent results from atmospheric and accelerator neutrino experiments, favoring normal neutrino mass ordering $m_1 < m_2 < m_3$, a near maximal lepton Dirac CP phase $\delta_{l}\sim 270^\circ$…
The $\mu\tau$-reflection symmetric neutrino mass matrix can accommodate all known neutrino mixing angles, with maximal atmospheric angle fixed, and predicts all the unknown CP phases of the lepton sector but is unable to predict the…
The minimum seesaw model with two right-handed neutrinos is considered, where the lightest neutrino is naturally massless. Instead of adopting texture zeros in the lepton Yukawa matrices, which cause both theoretical and experimental…
Motivated by the recent results from Daya Bay, Reno and Double Chooz Collaborations, we study the consequences of small departures from exact $\mu-\tau$ symmetry in the neutrino sector, to accommodate a non-vanishing value of the element…
The preference of the normal neutrino mass ordering from the recent cosmological constraint and the global fit of neutrino oscillation experiments does not seem like a wise choice at first glance since it obscures the neutrinoless double…
We show that the neutrino mass matrix of the Zee-Babu model is able to fit the recent data on neutrino masses and mixing with non-zero $\theta_{13}$ in the inverted neutrino mass hierarchy. The results show that the Majorana phases are…
Ever since the Majorana classic work, the nature of neutrino has been one of the central questions of the weak interaction physics. If neutrino is its own antiparticle, the immediate consequence is lepton number violation through the…
We reconstruct the neutrino mass matrix in flavor basis, in the case of inverted mass hierarchy (ordering), using all available experimental data on neutrino masses and oscillations. We analyze the dependence of the matrix elements m_{alpha…
Study of the neutrinoless double beta decay and searches for the manifestation of the neutrino mass in ordinary beta decay are the main sources of information about the absolute neutrino mass scale, and the only practical source of…
We construct a neutrino mass matrix $M_{\nu}$ via a seesaw mechanism whith perturbed invariant under a cyclic permutation by introducing one parameter $\delta$ into the diagonal elements of $M_{\nu}$ with assumption that trace of the…
Using the seesaw mechanism, we construct a model for the light-neutrino Majorana mass matrix which yields trimaximal lepton mixing together with maximal CP violation and maximal atmospheric-neutrino mixing. We demonstrate that, in our…
Neutrino oscillations data indicates that neutrino mixings are consistent with an apparent $\nu_\mu - \nu_\tau$ exchange symmetry in neutrino mass matrix. We observe that in the mininimally extended standard model with the see-saw…
From the standard seesaw mechanism of neutrino mass generation, which is based on the assumption that the lepton number is violated at a large (~10exp(+15) GeV) scale, follows that the neutrinoless double-beta decay is ruled by the Majorana…
We propose simple scoto-seesaw models to account for dark matter and neutrino masses with spontaneous CP violation. This is achieved with a single horizontal $\mathcal{Z}_8$ discrete symmetry, broken to a residual $\mathcal{Z}_2$ subgroup…
