We discuss ways to probe the origin of neutrino masses at the Energy and Intensity frontiers, in TeV-scale left-right seesaw models where small neutrino masses arise via type-I seesaw mechanism. We consider generic ('vanilla') version of…
The existence of the neutrino masses and mixing would be an important window into the nature of physics beyond the Standard Model, which will be searched for in the forthcoming experiments such as LHC. In this talk, we discuss some examples…
A new method to study the effects of neutrino masses on a supernova neutrino signal is proposed. The method relies exclusively on the analysis of the full statistics of neutrino events, it is independent of astrophysical assumptions, and…
We derive empirical relationships among elementary fermion masses based on relatively simple exponential formulae involving quantum numbers for the electromagnetic and strong interactions, with a weak correction factor motivated by a simple…
We summarize the results showing that all existing data on mixing between up and down fermion states (i.e. CKM matrix and neutrino oscillations) and on the hierarchical quark and lepton mass ratios between generations are consistent with…
Many facets of nonclassicality are probed in neutrino system in the context of three flavour neutrino oscillations. The analysis is carried out for parameters relevant to two ongoing experiments NO$\nu$A and T2K, and also for the upcoming…
The properties of light leptoquarks predicted in the context of a simple grand unified theory and their observability at the LHC are investigated. The SU(5) symmetry of the theory implies that the leptoquark couplings to matter are related…
We study neutrino masses and mixing in Supersymmetric Models without $R$ parity and with generic soft Supersymmetry breaking terms. Neutrinos acquire mass from various sources: tree level neutrino--neutralino mixing, loop effects and…
I review promising approaches to neutrino mass models, focussing on three neutrino patterns of neutrino masses and mixing angles, and the corresponding Majorana mass matrices. I discuss the see-saw mechanism, and show how it may be applied…
New generation of three reactor neutrino experiments have made definitive measurements of the smallest neutrino mixing angle theta13 in 2012, based on the disappearance of electron antineutrinos. More precise measurements of the mixing…
The field of oscillation physics is about to make an enormous leap forward in statistical precision: first through the MINOS experiment in the coming year, and later through the NOvA and T2K experiments. Because of the relatively poor…
Starting with the hypothesis that quark and lepton mixings are identical at or near the GUT scale, we show that the large solar and atmospheric neutrino mixing angles together with the small reactor angle $U_{e3}$ can be understood purely…
We consider the supernova shock effects, the Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein (MSW) effects, the collective effects, and the Earth matter effects in the detection of type II supernova neutrinos on the Earth. It is found that the event number of…
It is generally believed that neutrino mass hierarchy can be determined at a long baseline experiment, often using accelerator neutrino beams. Reactor neutrino experiments at an intermediate baseline have the capability to distinguish…
We review the current status of the neutrino mass and mixing parameters needed to reconstruct the neutrino mass matrix. A comparative study of the precision in the measurement of oscillation parameters expected from the next generation…
I review the observational status of neutrino physics, including the present hints for neutrino mass and the ways to reconcile the solar and atmospheric neutrino data with the existence of a hot dark matter component, and the possible hints…
We demonstrate that under the "symmetric zero texture" with minimal Majorana mass matrix, neutrino masses and mixing angles are expressed in terms of up-quark masses, $m_t,m_c,m_u$. This provides interesting relations among neutrino mixing…
Beam neutrino oscillation experiments typically employ only one detector at a certain baseline, apart from the near detector that measures the unoscillated neutrino flux at the source. Lately, there have been discussions of having detectors…
Whether the neutrino mass spectrum is normal (m_1 < m_2 < m_3) or abnormal (m_3 < m_1 < m_2) remains an open question, but we show that the latter possibility looks quite unnatural when it is related to the lepton flavor mixing matrix U in…
We consider the simplest model which solves the solar and atmospheric neutrino puzzles, in the sense that it contains the smallest amount of beyond the Standard Model ingredients. The solar neutrino data is accounted for by Planck-mass…
