The theory of neutrino flavor rotations is discussed in terms of wave function solutions to the Dirac equation with a neutrino mass matrix. We give a critical review of the nature of neutrino oscillations.
The flavor democracy hypothesis was introduced in seventies taking in mind three Standard Model (SM) families. Later, this idea was disfavored by the large value of the t-quark mass. In nineties the hypothesis was revisited assuming that…
We examine the reliability of the theoretical methods presently used for analysis and prediction of neutrino oscillation phenomena. Of particular interest are the limitations imposed by branch points when expansions in one of the small…
Observation of ultra-high energy astrophysical neutrinos and identification of their flavors have been proposed for future neutrino telescopes. The flavor ratio of astrophysical neutrinos observed on the Earth depends on both the initial…
Theoretical models which present flavor changing neutrino interactions and simultaneously prevent this particle from acquiring any mass exist. We discuss some of them and their predictions for neutrino oscillations in matter which can…
Naturalness arguments do not forbid the possibility that the first two families of squarks and sleptons are heavier than the rest of the supersymmetric spectrum. In this framework, we study the phenomenology related to the flavor physics…
Discrete flavor symmetries provide a promising approach to understand the flavor sector of the standard model of particle physics. Top-down (TD) explanations from string theory reveal two different types of such flavor symmetries:…
The origin of fermion mass hierarchies and mixings is one of the unresolved and most difficult problem in high-energy physics. One possibility to address the flavour problem is by extending the Standard Model to include a family symmetry.…
We consider a large class of models where an SU(5) gauge symmetry and a Froggatt-Nielsen (FN) Abelian flavor symmetry arise from a quiver gauge theory. Such quiver models are very restrictive and therefore have strong predictive power. In…
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…
We discuss the recent progress in neutrino physics in the following fields: (i) interpretation of the short and long neutrino oscillation data in terms of neutrino flavor transitions; (ii) models for neutrino masses and mixings.
The flavor puzzles remain among the most compelling open questions in particle physics. The striking hierarchies observed in the masses and mixing of charged fermions define the Standard Model (SM) flavor puzzle, a profound structural…
We consider the flavor symmetry L_mu - L_tau for the neutrino mass matrix. The most general neutrino mass matrix conserving L_mu - L_tau predicts quasi-degenerate neutrino masses with one maximal and two zero mixing angles. The presence of…
I proposed a unified model of particle physic and cosmology in \cite {1}, which can simultaneously account for these origin of the inflation, dark energy, dark matter, neutrino mass and baryon asymmetry. I here focus on the fermion flavor…
Present data on neutrino masses and mixing favor the highly symmetric tribimaximal neutrino mixing matrix which suggests an underlying flavor symmetry. A systematic study of non-abelian finite groups of order $g \leq 31$ reveals that…
Symmetry properties associated with neutrino propagation with or without a background of other particles, including neutrinos, is reviewed. The utility of symmetries is illustrated with examples chosen from the see-saw mechanism and both…
We examine neutrino evolution in astrophysical environments where the neutrino flux is very large, including core-collapse supernovae and neutron star mergers. In these environments, the neutrino-neutrino and neutrino-antineutrino…
Neutrino flavor instabilities have the potential to shuffle neutrinos between electron, mu, and tau flavor states, modifying the core-collapse supernova mechanism and the heavy elements ejected from neutron star mergers. Analytic methods…
In dense environments, standard and non-standard neutrino interactions with the background particles trigger a variety of flavor mechanisms, which can impact r-process nucleosynthetic abundances. Future observations of a(n) (extra)galactic…
A new chapter is opening in the theory of core-collapse supernovae and neutron star mergers as simulations of these events begin to incorporate fast flavor conversion (FFC) and other forms of neutrino flavor mixing. Using numerical…
