Anticipating future long-baseline neutrino experiments to search for neutrino oscillations in various oscillation channels, we have analyzed the atmospheric neutrino data in the framework of a model with mixing of three massive neutrino…
We propose a neutrino mass matrix model in which five neutrino species remain light through the seesaw mechanism within a supersymmetric $3\nu_L+3\nu_R$ framework. We construct such a model based on the nonrenormalizable terms in the…
We apply the permutation symmetry S_3 to both charged-lepton and neutrino mass matrices, and suggest a useful symmetry-breaking scheme, in which the flavor symmetry is explicitly broken down via S_3 -> Z_3 -> nothing in the charged-lepton…
We propose a model which uses the seesaw mechanism and the lepton number $\bar L = L_e - L_\mu - L_\tau$ to achieve the neutrino mass spectrum $m_1 = m_2$ and $m_3 = 0$, together with a lepton mixing matrix $U$ with $U_{e3} = 0$. In this…
We analyze the impact of recent solar and atmospheric data in the determination of the neutrino oscillation parameters, taking into account that both the solar nu_e and the atmospheric nu_mu may convert to a mixture of active and sterile…
It is well known that the neutrino mass matrix contains more parameters than experimentalists can hope to measure in the foreseeable future even if we impose CP invariance. Thus, various authors have proposed ansatzes to restrict the form…
We study the effect of radiative corrections on the structure of neutrino mass matrix. We analyze the renormalization of the matrix from the electroweak scale $m_Z$ to the scale $m_0$ at which the effective operator that gives masses to…
We show how the nearly bi-maximal mixing scenario comes out naturally from gauged $SO(3)_{F}$ flavor symmetry via spontaneous symmetry breaking. An interesting relation between the neutrino mass-squared differences and the mixing angle,…
We propose a model for neutrino mass generation based on both the tree-level seesaw mechanism with a single right-handed neutrino and one-loop radiative effects in a non-supersymmetric framework. The generated mass matrix is composed of two…
We consider the possibility to gain information on the lepton mixing matrix element |U_{e3}| from an improved experimental limit on the effective neutrino mass governing neutrino-less double beta decay. We show that typically a lower limit…

A natural solution to the fermion mass hierarchy problem suggests the existence of a partially conserved chiral symmetry. We show that this can lead to a reasonably natural solution to the solar and atmospheric neutrino problems without…
The radiative model, proposed by Zee, is extended from the three neutrino $(\nu_{e,\mu,\tau})$ sector to include a fourth sterile neutrino $\nu_s$. The oscillations $\nu_e \leftrightarrow \nu_s$ (solar), $\nu_\mu \leftrightarrow \nu_\tau$…
Current neutrino data are consistent with the so-called tribimaximal mixing scenario, which predicts \sin^2 \theta_{12}=1/3, zero U_{e3} and maximal \theta_{23}. This implies a special form of the neutrino mass matrix. Introducing small…
The He3 abundance is not constrained by helioseismic data. Mixing of He3 inside the solar core by processes not included in the solar standard model (SSM) has been recently proposed as possible solution to the solar neutrino problem. We…
The three active light neutrinos are used to explain the neutrino oscillations. The inherently bi-large mixing neutrino mass matrix and the Fritzsch type, bi-small mixing charged lepton mass matrix are assumed. By requiring the maximal…
Two schemes of mixing of four massive neutrinos with two close neutrino masses separated by a gap of Delta m^2 about 1 eV^2 can accommodate solar, atmospheric and LSND neutrino oscillation data. It is shown that long-baseline nu(e)->nu(x)…
The presently available information on neutrino oscillations can be used to tightly constrain the light neutrino mass matrix $m_\n$ under the assumption that the three known neutrinos provide explanation of the solar and atmospheric…
We explore the consequences of the neutrino mass matrix having a hidden $\mathcal{Z}_2$ symmetry and one zero eigenvalue. When implemented, these two conditions give relations among the mixing angles. In addition, fitting these relations to…
We consider a situation where the leading-order neutrino mass matrix is derived by a theoretical ansatz and reproduces the experimental data well, but not completely. Then, the next stage is to try to fully reproduce the data by adding…
