Exploring Non-degenerate Majorana Neutrinos

This paper discusses the Fukugita-Tanimoto-Yanagida ansatz with partially non-degenerate right-handed Majorana neutrinos and its impact on neutrino observables. The Fritzsch texture for lepton mass matrices is used, and a numerical analysis is performed to determine the allowed parameter ranges. The results show that the maximal atmospheric neutrino mixing angle can only be achieved in certain cases, while the small mixing angle has a lower bound. The study emphasizes the importance of considering the deviation from mass degeneracy in future experiments.

  1. On the Fukugita-Tanimoto-Yanagida Ansatzwith Partially Non-degenerateRight-handed Majorana Neutrinos 29October, 2006 High Energy Physics Meeting@Guilin IHEP Midori Obara (小原 绿) M. O. and Z.Z. Xing, hep-ph/0608280

  2. §1. Introduction Recent neutrino experimental results (at 99% C.L.) Mixing angles Mass-squared differences Neutrinos have two large mixing angles and one small mixing angle. Cosmological bound on neutrino masses Neutrinos have very small masses.

  3. Why are neutrino masses so small? Seesaw Mechanism Variousphenomenological ansatz for lepton mass matrices have been actively studied. “Texture zeros” An empirical relation S.
