Lepton Number Violating

The CP violation required in leptogenesis may have different origin, but in an effective theory they are all related to the rephasing invariant CP violating measures in the mixing matrix of the leptonic sector. We point out that with our present knowledge of the mixing angles it is possible to estimate the maximum allowed value for all the rephasing invariant measures of CP violation in the leptonic sector. In the effective three-generation scenario there are three CP violating rephasing invariant measures. We show that only one rephasing invariant measure enters the lepton number conserving processes while the other two enter the lepton number violating processes. In the bimaximal mixing case, the lepton number conserving measure of CP violation vanishes while the two lepton number violating rephasing invariant measures of CP violation remain nonzero, which could contribute to the lepton asymmetry of the universe.

Three Phases

CP violation in neutrino interactions is described by three phases contained in Pontecorvo–Maki–Nakagawa–Sakata mixing matrix (U PMNS ). We argue that the phenomenologically consistent result of the Dirac CP violation can be obtained if U PMNS is constructed along bipair neutrino mixing scheme, namely, requiring that |U12| = |U32| and |U22| = |U23| (case 1) and |U12| = |U22| and |U32| = |U33| (case 2), where Uij stands for the i × j matrix element of U PMNS . As a result, the solar, atmospheric and reactor neutrino mixing angles θ12, θ23 and θ13, respectively, are correlated to satisfy cos 2θ12 = sin 2 θ23 - tan 2 θ13 (case 1) or cos 2θ12 = cos 2 θ23 - tan 2 θ13 (case 2). Furthermore, if Dirac CP violation is observed to be maximal, θ23 is determined by θ13 to be: [Formula: see text] (case 1) or [Formula: see text] (case 2). For the case of non-maximal Dirac CP violation, we perform numerical computation to show relations between the CP-violating Dirac phase and the mixing angles.

Lepton Number Violating

We discuss the constraints of lepton mixing angles from lepton number violating processes such as neutrinoless double beta decay, μ--e+ conversion and K decay, K-→π+μ-μ- which are allowed only if neutrinos are Majorana particles. The rates of these processes are proportional to the averaged neutrino mass defined by [Formula: see text] in the absence of right-handed weak coupling. Here a, b(j) are flavor(mass) eigenstates and Uaj is the left-handed lepton mixing matrix. We give general conditions imposed on <mν>ab in terms of mi, lepton mixing angles and CP violating phases (three phases in Majorana neutrinos). These conditions are reduced to the constraints among mi, lepton mixing angles and <mν>ab which are irrelevant to the concrete values of CP phases. Given a <mν>ab experimentally, these conditions constrain mi and the lepton mixing angles. Though these constraints are still loose except for neutrinoless double beta decay, they will become helpful through rapid improvements of experiments. By using these constraints we also derive the limits on averaged neutrino masses for μ--e+ conversion and K decay, K-→π+μ-μ-, respectively. We also present the bounds for CP phases in terms of mi, mixing angles and <mν>ab.

We study a neutrino mass model based on [Formula: see text] flavor symmetry which accommodates lepton mass, mixing with nonzero [Formula: see text] and CP violation phase. The spontaneous symmetry breaking in the model is imposed to obtain the realistic neutrino mass and mixing pattern at the tree-level with renormalizable interactions. Indeed, the neutrinos get small masses from one [Formula: see text] doublet and two [Formula: see text] singlets in which one being in [Formula: see text] and the two others in [Formula: see text] under [Formula: see text] with both the breakings [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are taken place in charged lepton sector and [Formula: see text] in neutrino sector. The model also gives a remarkable prediction of Dirac CP violation [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] in both the normal and inverted spectrum which is still missing in the neutrino mixing matrix. The relation between lepton mixing angles is also represented.

Using the fact that the neutrino mixing matrix [Formula: see text], where Ue and Uν result from the diagonalization of the charged lepton and neutrino mass matrices, we analyze the predictions based on the sum rules which the Dirac phase δ present in U satisfies when Uν has a form dictated by, or associated with, discrete flavor symmetries and Ue has a "minimal" form (in terms of angles and phases it contains) that can provide the requisite corrections to Uν, so that the reactor, atmospheric and solar neutrino mixing angles θ13, θ23 and θ12 have values compatible with the current data.

Abstract Some models of leptogenesis involve a quasi-degenerate pair of heavy neutrinos N1,2 whose masses can be small, O(GeV). Such neutrinos can contribute to the rare lepton-number-violating (LNV) decay $$ {W}^{\pm}\to {\mathrm{\ell}}_1^{\pm }{\mathrm{\ell}}_2^{\pm }{\left({q}^{\prime}\overline{q}\right)}^{\mp } $$ W ± → ℓ 1 ± ℓ 2 ± q ′ q ¯ ∓ . If both N1 and N2 contribute, there can be a CP-violating rate difference between the LNV decay of a W− and its CP-conjugate decay. In this paper, we examine the prospects for measuring such a CP asymmetry ACP at the LHC. We assume a value for the heavy-light neutrino mixing parameter |BℓN|2 = 10−5, which is allowed by the present experimental constraints, and consider 5 GeV ≤ MN≤ 80 GeV. We consider three versions of the LHC — HL-LHC, HE-LHC, FCC-hh — and show that small values of the CP asymmetry can be measured at 3σ, in the range 1% ≲ ACP ≲ 15%.

Neutrino masses and mixing in an extended standard model acquiring an A4 flavour symmetry are considered. The corresponding three-neutrino mixing matrix obtained via a pertur- bative method allows us to determine the Dirac CP violation phase (\delta_{CP}) as a function of the mixing angles (\theta_{12}, \theta_{23}, \theta_{13}). Then, numerical values and distributions of \delta_{CP} are given. The latter values are quite close to the global fits of the experimental data for both the normal ordering and inverse ordering of the neutrino masses.

Abstract Within the Type-I seesaw mechanism, quantum effects of the right-handed (RH) neutrinos in the gravitational background lead to an asymmetric propagation of lepton and anti-leptons which induces a Ricci scalar and neutrino Dirac-Yukawa coupling dependent chemical potential and therefore a lepton asymmetry in equilibrium. At high temperature, lepton number violating scattering processes try to maintain a dynamically generated lepton asymmetry in equilibrium. However, when the temperature drops down, the interactions become weaker, and the asymmetry freezes out. The frozen out asymmetry can act as a pre-existing asymmetry prior to the standard Fukugita-Yanagida leptogenesis phase (Ti ∼ Mi, where Mi is the mass of ith RH neutrino). It is then natural to consider the viability of gravitational leptogenesis for a given RH mass spectrum which is not consistent with successful leptogenesis from decays. Primary threat to this gravity-induced lepton asymmetry to be able to successfully reproduce the observed baryon-to-photon ratio is the lepton number violating washout processes at Ti ∼ Mi. In a minimal seesaw set up with two RH neutrinos, these washout processes are strong enough to erase a pre-existing asymmetry of significant magnitude. We show that when effects of flavour on the washout processes are taken into account, the mechanism opens up the possibility of successful leptogenesis (gravitational) for a mass spectrum M2 » 109GeV » M1 with M1 ≳ 6.3 × 106 GeV. We then briefly discuss how, in general, the mechanism leaves its imprints on the low energy CP phases and absolute light neutrino mass scale.

Unitary Triangle

Neutrinos are neutral leptons and there exist three types of neutrinos (electron neutrinos νe, muon neutrinos νµ and tau neutrinos ντ). These classifications are referred to as neutrinos’s “flavors”. Oscillations between the different flavors are known as neutrino oscillations, which occurs when neutrinos have mass and non-zero mixing. Neutrino mixing is governed by the PMNS mixing matrix. The PMNS mixing matrix is constructed as the product of three independent rotations. With that, we can describe the numerical parameters of the matrix in a graphical form called the unitary triangle, giving rise to CP violation. We can calculate the four parameters of the mixing matrix to draw the unitary triangle. The area of the triangle is a measure of the amount of CP violation.
