Mass Pattern

I discuss some aspects of future prospects of the experimental exploration of the unknowns in the neutrino mass pattern and the lepton flavor mixing. I start from measuring θ13 by reactors and accelerators as a prerequisite for proceeding to search for leptonic CP violation. I then discuss how CP violation can be uncovered, and how the neutrino mass hierarchy can be determined. I do these by resolving so called the "parameter degeneracy" which is required anyway if one wants to seek precision measurement of the lepton mixing parameters. As a concrete setting for resolving the degeneracy I use the Tokai-to-Kamioka-Korea two detector complex which receives neutrino superbeam from J-PARC, which is sometimes called as "T2KK". It is shown that T2KK is able to resolve all the eight-fold parameter degeneracy in a wide range of the lepton mixing parameters. Some alternative ways of measuring the unknowns are also briefly mentioned.

We review constraints from quark and lepton flavor violation on extra dimensional models with warped geometry, both in the minimal and the custodial model. For both scenarios, Kaluza–Klein (KK) masses that are large enough to suppress constraints from electroweak precision tests (EWPT) also sufficiently suppress all quark flavor and CP violation, with the exception of CP violation in [Formula: see text] mixing and (to a lesser extend) in [Formula: see text] mixing. In the lepton sector the minimal scenario leads to excessively large contributions to μ→eγ transitions, requiring KK masses of at least 20 TeV or larger.

Highly Correlated

The fact that quarks of the same electric charge possess a mass hierarchy is a big puzzle in particle physics, and it must be highly correlated with the hierarchy of quark flavor mixing. This chapter is intended to provide a brief description of some important issues regarding quark masses, flavor mixing and CP-violation. A comparison between the salient features of quark and lepton flavor mixing structures is also made.

Massive Neutrinos

We present an overview of recent progress in the phenomenological study of neutrino masses, lepton flavor mixing and CP violation. We concentrate on the model-independent properties of massive neutrinos, both in vacuum and in matter. Current experimental constraints on the neutrino mass spectrum and the lepton flavor mixing parameters are summarized. The Dirac- and Majorana-like phases of CP violation, which are associated respectively with the long-baseline neutrino oscillations and the neutrinoless double beta decay, are discussed in detail. The seesaw mechanism, the leptogenesis scenario and the strategies to construct lepton mass matrices are briefly described. The features of flavor mixing between one sterile neutrino and three active neutrinos are also explored.

Shed Light

Major advances spanning several orders of magnitude in sensitivity are anticipated in the current round of experiments dealing with rare kaon decays. Observations of allowed processes, like [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], shed light on detailed aspects of the standard model. New sources of T or CP violation could be manifested by measurements of muon polarization in K → πμνμ and [Formula: see text] decays and by studies of reactions like [Formula: see text]. Evidence for new particles and new interactions could appear in advanced efforts to observe K → πxx′ and K → πx decays, where x and x′ represent hypothetical neutral particles, and in searches for lepton flavor violating processes [Formula: see text] and K+ → π+μe. The experiments are reviewed and their theoretical context is discussed.
