In the context of neutrino oscillation experiments, six different quasi-degenerate neutrino (QDN) mass models, which we parameterized recently, are found equally relevant. The present attempt tries to explore the possibilities for the discrimination of the six QDN models in the light of baryogenesis via leptogenesis. In this work we investigate all six models to predict observable baryon asymmetry. If leptogenesis is unflavoured or single flavoured, a significant difference is found. Then, only QD-NH-IA and QD-IH-IA are dominant. To get specific results, the choice of Dirac neutrino mass matrix as down-quark type is found most favourable.

Recent experiments indicate a departure from the exact tri-bimaximal mixing by measure ring definitive nonzero value of θ13. Within the framework of type I seesaw mechanism, we reconstruct the triangular Dirac neutrino mass matrix from the μ - τ symmetric mass matrix. The deviation from μ - τ symmetry is then parametrized by adding dimensionless parameters yi in the triangular mass matrix. In this parametrization of the neutrino mass matrix, the nonzero value θ13 is controlled by Δy = y4 - y6. We also calculate the resulting leptogenesis and show that the triangular texture can generate the observed baryon asymmetry in the universe via leptogenesis scenario.

In this paper, we study all possible neutrino mass matrices with one zero element and two equal nonzero elements, known as hybrid texture neutrino mass matrices. In the diagonal charged lepton basis, we consider 39 such possible cases which are consistent with the latest neutrino data. Using the two constraints on neutrino mass matrix elements imposed by hybrid textures, we numerically evaluate the neutrino parameters like the lightest neutrino mass [Formula: see text], one Dirac CP phase [Formula: see text] and two Majorana CP phases [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] by using the global fit [Formula: see text] values of three mixing angles and two mass squared differences. We then constrain this parameter space by using the cosmological upper bound on the sum of absolute neutrino masses given by Planck experiment. We also calculate the effective neutrino mass [Formula: see text] for this region of parameter space which can have relevance in future neutrinoless double beta decay experiments. We finally discriminate between these hybrid texture mass matrices from the requirement of producing correct baryon asymmetry through type I seesaw leptogenesis. We also constrain the light neutrino parameter space as well as the lightest right-handed neutrino mass from the constraint on baryon asymmetry of the Universe from Planck experiment.

By relating the Dirac neutrino mass matrix to the mass of the charged fermions and assuming that the product of the masses of the two lightest left-handed neutrinos is of the order of [Formula: see text], we derive, within a leptogenesis scenario, a range of values for the mass of the heaviest right-handed neutrino, centered around the scale of B–L symmetry breaking in the SO(10) theory with Pati–Salam intermediate symmetry.

We propose a supersymmetric extra U(1) model, which can generate small neutrino masses and necessary μ terms, simultaneously. Fields including quarks and leptons are embedded in three 27's of E6 in a different way among generations. The model has an extra U(1) gauge symmetry at TeV regions, which has discriminating features from other models studied previously. Since a neutrino mass matrix induced in the model has a constrained texture with limited parameters, it can give a prediction. If we impose neutrino oscillation data to fix those parameters, a value of sin θ13 can be determined. We also discuss several phenomenological features which are discriminated from the ones of the MSSM.

We study the origin of neutrino masses and mixing angles which can accommodate the LMA MSW solutions of the solar neutrino anomaly as well as the solution of the atmospheric neutrino problem, within the framework of the see-saw mechanism. We employ the diagonal form of the Dirac neutrino mass matrices with the physical masses as diagonal elements in the hierarchical order. Such a choice has been motivated from the fact that the known CKM angles for the quark sector, are relatively small. We consider both possibilities where the Dirac neutrino mass matrix is either the charged lepton or the up-quark mass matrix within the framework of SO(10) GUT with or without supersymmetry. The nonzero texture of the right-handed Majorana neutrino mass matrix M R is used for the generation of the desired bimaximal mixings in a model independent way. Both hierarchical and inverted hierarchical models of the left-handed Majorana neutrino mass matrices are generated and then discussed with examples. The see-saw mass scale which is kept as a free parameter, is predicted in all the examples.

We investigate the CP asymmetry for a hybrid texture of the neutrino mass matrix predicted by Q8 family symmetry in the context of the type-I seesaw mechanism and examine its consequences for leptogenesis. We, also, calculate the resulting Baryon Asymmetry of the Universe (BAU) for this texture.

Abstract In this paper, we consider the imbedding of the popular and well-motivated trimaximal mixing and μ–τ reflection symmetry (which can help us shape the forms of the neutrino mass matrix) in the minimal seesaw model (which contains much fewer parameters than the general seesaw model) with two TeV-scale right-handed neutrinos (for realizing a low-scale seesaw) of nearly degenerate masses (for realizing a resonant leptogenesis). However, either for the trimaximal mixing scenario (which is realized through the Form Dominance approach here) or for the μ–τ reflection symmetry scenario, leptogenesis cannot proceed. To address this issue, we consider the possibility that the special forms of the neutrino mass matrix for the trimaximal mixing and μ–τ reflection symmetry are slightly broken by the renormalization group evolution effect, thus allowing leptogenesis to proceed. It is found that in the normal case of the neutrino mass ordering, the baryon asymmetry thus generated can reproduce the observed value. For completeness, we have also extended our analysis to the scenario that two right-handed neutrinos are not nearly degenerate any more. Unfortunately, in this scenario the final baryon asymmetry is smaller than the observed value by several orders of magnitude.

We study the leptogenesis scenario in models with multi-Higgs doublets. It is pointed out that the washing-out process through the effective dimension-five interactions, which has not been taken into account seriously in the conventional scenario, can be effective, and the resultant baryon asymmetry can be exponentially suppressed. This fact implies new possible scenario where the observed baryon asymmetry is the remnant of the washed out lepton asymmetry which was originally much larger than the one in the conventional scenario. Our new scenario is applicable to some neutrino mass matrix models which predict too large CP-violating parameter and makes them viable through the washing-out process.
