We discuss the possibility of sterile neutrinos taking shortcuts in extra dimensions, and the consequences for neutrino oscillations. This effect influences the active-sterile neutrino mixing and provides a possibility to accommodate the…
Applying the $A_4$ symmetry in the scenario of unimodular second scheme of trimaximal $TM_2$ mixing matrix, where the charged lepton mass matrix is diagonal and the nature of neutrinos are Majorana, we investigate and analyze feasible two…
We consider the possibility that sterile neutrinos exist and admit a description as unparticles; we call these {\em unsterile} neutrinos. We then examine the nature of neutrino oscillations in a model where an unsterile can mix with two…
We examine the potential for a ``natural'' three-neutrino mixing scheme to satisfy available data and astrophysical arguments. By ``natural'' we mean no sterile neutrinos, and a neutrino mass hierarchy similar to that of the charged…
We examine the prospects for determining the neutrino mixing matrix and for observing CP and T violation in neutrino oscillations in four-neutrino models. We focus on a general class of four-neutrino models with two pairs of nearly…
A minimal and predictive neutrino mass matrix texture for Majorana neutrino is proposed. The texture favours the normal hierarchy of neutrino mass eigenvalues. It further predicts the octant of $\theta_{23}$, constraints $\delta$, gives…
Solar, atmospheric and LSND neutrino oscillation results require a light sterile neutrino, $\nu_B$, which can exist in the bulk of extra dimensions. Solar $\nu_e$, confined to the brane, can oscillate in the vacuum to the zero mode of…
We show that a double seesaw framework for neutrino masses with $\mu-\tau$ exchange symmetry can lead to one of the righthanded seesaw partners of the light neutrinos being massless. This can play the role of a light sterile neutrino,…
In these two lectures I describe first the theory of neutrino mass and then discuss the implications of recent data (including 708--day data Super--Kamiokande data) which strongly indicate the need for neutrino conversions to account for…
Our knowledge of the neutrino sector of the Standard Model has recently undergone a revolution. Deficits of the atmospheric muon neutrino flux and the solar electron neutrino flux compared to their predicted values can be understood in…
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…
We discuss consequences of assuming ($i$) that the (Majorana) neutrino mass matrix $M_\nu$ displays flavour antisymmetry, $S_\nu^T M_\nu S_\nu=-M_\nu$ with respect to some discrete symmetry $S_\nu$ contained in $SU(3)$ and ($ii$) $S_\nu$…
It is shown that at least four massive neutrinos are needed in order to accommodate the evidences in favor of neutrino oscillations found in solar and atmospheric neutrino experiments and in the LSND experiment. Among all four-neutrino…
Maximum mixing in atmospheric neutrino oscillation, as well as vanishing of the MNS matrix element $U_{e3}$, are consequences of a 2-3 symmetry, under which the neutrino mass matrix is invariant under the interchange of second and third…
In solar neutrino oscillations, if $\nu_e$ has a significant third massive component, the allowed parameter space in $\Delta m^2$ and $\sin^2 2 \theta$ for the first two components is shown to be greatly increased. This third component may…
We investigate a minimal extension of the standard model in which the only new ingredient is the sterile neutrinos. We do not introduce extra Higgs multiplets or high dimensional effective operators to induce mass terms for the active…
Standard active--sterile neutrino oscillations do not provide a satisfactory description of the LSND evidence for neutrino oscillations together with the constraints from MiniBooNE and other null-result short-baseline oscillation…
We develop the consequences of introducing a purely leptonic, lepton number violating non-standard interaction (NSI) and standard model neutrino mixing with a fourth, sterile neutrino in the analysis of short-baseline, neutrino experiments.…
An explicit model of neutrino texture is presented, where in the 6 times 6 mass matrix the Majorana lefthanded component is zero, the Majorana righthanded component - diagonal with equal entries, and the Dirac component gets a hierarchical…
Light sterile neutrinos might mix with the active ones and be copiously produced in the early Universe. In the present paper, a detailed multi-flavor analysis of sterile neutrino production is performed. Making some justified approximations…
