We investigate whether postulating the existence of Lorentz-violating, CPT-conserving interactions allows three-neutrino solutions to the LSND anomaly that are also consistent with all other neutrino data. We show that Lorentz-violating…
Some implications of the proposal that flavor nondiagonal couplings of neutrinos to gravity might resolve the solar neutrino problem are considered in the context of three neutrino flavours. Using an adiabatic approximation iso-SNU curves…
I describe an attempt to understand the significance of the atmospheric neutrino deficit observed by the Kamiokande neutrino detector. In particular, I am concerned with the statistical significance quoted for the zenith-angle dependence of…
The three-flavor neutrino oscillation model describes the well-studied phenomenon of neutrinos produced in association with one charged lepton: electron, muon, or tau, and then later detected in association with a possibly different charged…
A new flavor changing electron neutrino interaction with matter would always dominate the nu_e oscillation probability at sufficiently high neutrino energies. Being suppressed by theta_{13}, the energy scale at which the new effect starts…
The characteristic features of the neutrino oscillation length resonance, taking place in the $\nu_2 \to \nu_{e}$ and $\nu_{\mu} \to \nu_{e}$ ($\nu_e \to \nu_{\mu (\tau)}$) transitions in the Earth of the solar and atmospheric neutrinos…
Deviations from expectations have been claimed for solar, atmospheric and high energy prompt neutrinos from charm decay. This information, supplemented only by the existing very good upper limits for oscillations of the $\nu_{\mu}$ at…
The current searches for neutrino oscillations seem to suggest an approximate $L_e-L_\m-L_{\tau}$ flavor symmetry. This symmetry implies a pair of degenerate neutrinos with mass $m_0$ and large leptonic mixing. We explore the possibility…
As was shown previously, oscillations of massless neutrinos may be due to the splitting of multiply degenerate Fermi points. In this Letter, we give the details and propose a three-flavor model of Fermi point splittings and neutrino mixings…
We discuss the possibility for matter effects in the three-neutrino oscillations of the atmospheric nu_e (bar{nu}_e) and nu_mu (bar{nu}_mu), driven by one neutrino mass squared difference, |Delta m2_{31}| >> Delta m2_{21}, to be observable…
In this talk I review the present status of the atmospheric neutrino anomaly and discuss some solutions that have been presented in the literature to solve this problem. In particular I review the "standard" solution in terms of neutrino…
We present a scenario which naturally provides bi-maximal neutrino mixings for a simultaneous explanation of the recent atmospheric and solar neutrino data. A crucial role is played by an anomalous flavor ${\cal U}(1)$ symmetry, which is…
The muon- and tau-neutrinos with the mass in the keV range, which are allowed in a low reheating temperature cosmology, can compose the warm dark matter of the universe. A model of four light neutrinos including the keV scale $\nu_\mu$ and…
We review the status of the neutrino oscillation physics (as of June 2003), with a particular emphasis on the present knowledge of the neutrino mass-mixing parameters in a three generation approach. We consider first the nu_mu-->nu_tau…
In the wake of the SuperKamiokande announcement of atmospheric neutrino oscillations which favor the large mixing of $\nu_\mu$ with $\nu_\tau$, there is considerable theoretical activity towards a possible understanding of the solar…
We propose a radiative seesaw model at the three-loop level, in which quarks, leptons, leptoquark bosons, and a Majorana fermion of dark matter candidate are involved in the neutrino loop. Analyzing neutrino oscillation data including all…
We give a phenomenological interpretation of atmospheric and solar neutrino oscillations by considering two scenarios for the neutrino mass spectrum: (a) m_1 \ll m_2 \ll m_3 and (b) m_1 \approx m_2 \approx m_3. A new parametrization of the…
We present a general study of a three neutrino flavour transition model based on the supersymmetric interactions which violate R-parity. These interactions induce flavour violating scattering reactions between solar matter and neutrinos.…
We suggest mass matrices for neutrinos and charged leptons that can explain solar and atmospheric neutrino data. The resulting flavor mixing matrix $V_{\nu}$ has a property that $(V_{\nu})_{13}=0$, thus making $\nu_e \leftrightarrow…
Starting from the symmetry of lepton flavor democracy, we propose and discuss a simple pattern for the mass generation and flavor mixing of the charged leptons and neutrinos. The three neutrino masses are nearly degenerate, and the flavor…
