Neutrino Masses And Mixings

Recently, various phenomenological implications of the existence of extra space–time dimensions have been investigated. In this letter, we construct a model with realistic fermion mass hierarchy with (large) extra dimensions beyond the usual four dimensions. In this model, it is assumed that some matter fields live in the bulk and the others are confined to our four-dimensional wall. It can naturally reproduce the quark and lepton mass hierarchy and mixing angles without any symmetry arguments. We also discuss some possibilities of obtaining suitable neutrino masses and mixings for the solar and atmospheric neutrino problems.

We study neutrino physics in the context of the localized gravity model with non-factorizable metric proposed by Randall and Sundrum. Identifying the right-handed neutrino with a bulk fermion zero mode, which can be localized on the "hidden" 3-brane in the Randall-Sundrum model, we obtain naturally small Dirac neutrino masses with-out invoking a see-saw mechanism. Our model predicts a strong hierarchy of neutrino masses and generically large mixing angles.

It is a challenge to explain why neutrinos are so light compared to other leptons. Small neutrino masses can be explained if right-handed fermions propagate in large extra dimensions. Fermions propagating in the bulk would have implications on Higgs boson decays. If the Higgs boson is discovered at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), a detailed analysis may reveal the presence of large extra dimensions. This paper reviews the status of large extra-dimensional models in the context of the current limits on Higgs boson masses and the fundamental Planck scale in extra dimensions.

Hubble expansion in warped braneworld model is addressed in the presence of more than one warped extra dimensions. Some distinct phenomenological signatures of such model has already been discussed in the context of collider-based experiments as well as to explain the fermion mass hierarchy in the Standard Model of elementary particles. In this paper, we explore some cosmological implications of such a model. It is shown that while the expansion depends on all the moduli, an exponential nature of the expansion of the scale factor emerges as a generic feature which is independent of the number of extra dimensions but depends only on the bulk cosmological constant and brane pressure. A generalized expression for the effective 3-brane cosmological constant in such model has been derived. This generalizes the well-known fine tuning/detuning between the bulk cosmological constant and brane tension to obtain the desired cosmological constant on the brane. The warped factor corresponding to the higher-dimensional cosmological scenario is determined and the issue of gauge hierarchy problem is discussed.

We first discuss the problem of mass hierarchy and review briefly the main Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) proposals. We then describe the framework of strings, branes and large extra dimensions and give the main experimental predictions in both particle accelerators and microgravity experiments testing gravity at short distances. Finally, we present some models based on intersecting branes and discuss the issue of Standard Model embedding.

The Difference

We revisit the possibility of relating lepton mixing angles with lepton mass hierarchies in a model-independent way. Guided by the existence of such relations in the quark sector, we first consider all the mixing angles, both in charged lepton and neutrino sectors to be related to the respective mass ratios. This allows us to calculate the leptonic mixing angles observed in neutrino oscillations as functions of the lightest neutrino mass. We show that for both normal and inverted hierarchical neutrino masses, this scenario does not give rise to correct leptonic mixing angles. We then show that correct leptonic mixing angles can be generated with normal hierarchical neutrino masses if the relation between mixing angle and mass ratio is restricted to 1–2 and 1–3 mixing in both charged lepton and neutrino sectors leaving the 2–3 mixing angles as free parameters. We then restrict the lightest neutrino mass as well as the difference between 2–3 mixing angles in charged lepton and neutrino sectors from the requirement of producing correct leptonic mixing angles. We constrain the lightest neutrino mass to be around 0.002 eV and leptonic Dirac CP phase [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text]. We also construct the leptonic mass matrices in terms of 2–3 mixing angles and lightest neutrino mass and briefly comment on the possibility of realizing texture zeros in the neutrino mass matrix.

Neutrino Masses And Mixings

On the basis of a seesaw-type mass matrix model for quarks and leptons, [Formula: see text] where mL∝mR are universal for f=u, d, v and e (up-quark, downquark, neutrino and charged lepton sectors respectively), and MF has a form [(unit matrix)+(democratic-type matrix)], neutrino masses and mixings are investigated. We try to understand a large vµ−vτ mixing, i.e. sin2 2θ23~1, with mv1 ≪ mv2~mv3, which has been suggested by the atmospheric neutrino data.
