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 to…
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…
It is argued that the observed deficit of solar and atmospheric neutrinos can be explained by neutrino oscillations $\nu_e \to \nu_s $ and $\nu_\mu \to \nu'_{s}$ involving two hypothetic sterile neutrinos $\nu_s $ and $\nu'_{s} $ (blind to…
Matrix element $U_{\tau N}$ of sterile neutrino N mixing with $\nu_{\tau}$ is the least constrained in the literature among the three $U_{\alpha N}$ ($\alpha=e,\mu,\tau$) mixing parameters characterizing the sterile neutrino phenomenology.…
We propose a simple texture of the neutrino mass matrix with one sterile neutrino along with the three standard ones. It gives maximal mixing angles for $\nu_e \to \nu_S$ and $\nu_\mu \to \nu_\tau$ oscillations or vice versa. Thus with only…
The existence of two sterile neutrinos $\nu_s$ and $\nu'_s$ (blind to all Standard-Model interactions) is shown to be implied by a model of fermion "texture" that we develop since some time. They may mix nearly maximally with two of three…
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…
We make a model-independent analysis of all available data that indicate neutrino oscillations. Using probability diagrams, we confirm that a mass spectrum with two nearly degenerate pairs of neutrinos separated by a mass gap of $\simeq1$…
An ansatz for mass matrix was recently proposed for charged leptons, predicting (in its diagonal approximation) $m_\tau\simeq1776.80$ MeV from the experimental values of $m_e$ and $m_\mu$, in agreement with $m_\tau^{exp}=…
Models with three active neutrinos and one sterile neutrino can naturally account for maximal oscillations of atmospheric neutrinos, explain the solar neutrino deficit, and accommodate the results of the LSND experiment. The models predict…
The smallness of the $\theta_{13}$ mixing angle as observed in neutrino oscillation experiments can be understood through an approximated $\mu - \tau$ exchange symmetry in the neutrino mass matrix. Using recent oscillation neutrino data,…
In light of recent Super-Kamiokande data and global fits that seem to exclude both pure \nu_\mu \to \nu_s oscillations of atmospheric neutrinos and pure \nu_e \to \nu_s oscillations of solar neutrinos (where \nu_s is a sterile neutrino), we…
It is suggested that there is an underlying symmetry which relates the quark and lepton sectors. Namely, among the mixing matrix elements of CKM for quarks and PMNS for leptons there exist complementarity relations at a high energy scale…
A unified form of mass matrix is proposed for neutrinos, charged leptons, up quarks and down quarks. Some constraints for the parameters involved are tent% atively postulated. Then, the predictions are neatly consistent with available…
Oscillations of three pseudo--Dirac flavor neutrinos $\nu_e, \nu_\mu, \nu_\tau$ are considered: $0 < m^{(L)} = m^{(R)} \ll m^{(D)}$ for their Majorana and Dirac masses taken as universal before family mixing. The actual neutrino mass matrix…
Recent results from SuperKamiokande and SNO experiments have set severe constraints on possible mixings of a light sterile neutrino, \nu_s, with the three active species required for a simultaneous explanation of the solar, atmospheric and…
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…
We propose simple phenomenological lepton mass matrices which describe the three neutrinos almost degenerate in mass, leading to a very large mixing angle between $\nu_\mu$ and $\nu_\tau$, as consistent with a recent report on atmospheric…
A simple unifying mass matrix is presented for the three active and one sterile neutrinos $\nu_e$, $\nu_\mu$, $\nu_\tau$ and $\nu_s$, using an extension of the radiative mechanism proposed some time ago by Zee. The total…
A four-neutrino effective texture is described, where a sterile neutrino mixes nearly maximally with the electron neutrino and so, is responsible for the deficit of solar $\nu_e $'s (according to the large-angle MSW solution or vacuum…
