We discuss the neutrino oscillations, using texture zero mass matrices for the leptons, including radiative correction. The neutrino mixing angle θ13 is calculated and agrees with the result of the new Daya Bay experiment.

Reactor Mixing

We discuss the neutrino oscillations, using texture zero mass matrices for the leptons. The reactor mixing angle θl is calculated. The ratio of the masses of two neutrinos is determined by the solar mixing angle. We can calculate the masses of the three neutrinos: m1 ≈ 0.003 eV , m2 ≈ 0.012 eV , m3 ≈ 0.048 eV .

The Masses

We discuss mass matrices with four texture zeros for the quarks and leptons. The three mixing angles for the quarks and leptons are functions of the fermion masses. The results agree with the experimental data. The ratio of the masses of the first two neutrinos is given by the solar mixing angle. The neutrino masses are calculated: [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text].

Reactor Mixing

The recent results from Daya Bay and RENO reactor neutrino experiments have firmly established that the smallest reactor mixing angle θ13 is nonvanishing at the 5 σ level, with a relatively large value, i.e. θ13 ≈ 9°. Using the fact that the neutrino mixing matrix can be represented as [Formula: see text], where Ul and Uν result from the diagonalization of the charged lepton and neutrino mass matrices and Pν is a diagonal matrix containing the Majorana phases and assuming the tri-bimaximal (TBM) form for Uν, we investigate the possibility of accounting for the large reactor mixing angle due to the corrections of the charged lepton mixing matrix. The form of Ul is assumed to be that of CKM mixing matrix of the quark sector. We find that with this modification it is possible to accommodate the large observed reactor mixing angle θ13. We also study the implications of such corrections on the other phenomenological observables.

Reactor Mixing

We suggest a simple model, based on the type-I seesaw mechanism, for the lepton mass matrices. The model hinges on an Abelian symmetry which leads to mass matrices with some vanishing matrix elements. The model predicts one massless neutrino and Meμ = 0 (M is the effective light-neutrino Majorana mass matrix). We show that these predictions agree with the present experimental data if the neutrino mass spectrum is inverted, i.e. if m3 = 0, provided the Dirac phase δ is very close to maximal (±π/ 2). In the case of a normal neutrino mass spectrum, i.e. when m1 = 0, the agreement of our model with the data is imperfect — the reactor mixing angle θ13 is too small in our model. Minimal leptogenesis is not an option in our model due to the vanishing elements in the Yukawa-coupling matrices.

Near Future

In this document we will review the current status of reactor neutrino oscillation experiments and present their physics potentials for measuring the θ13 neutrino mixing angle. The neutrino mixing angle θ13 is currently a high-priority topic in the field of neutrino physics. There are currently three different reactor neutrino experiments, DOUBLE CHOOZ, DAYA BAY and RENO and a few accelerator neutrino experiments searching for neutrino oscillations induced by this angle. A description of the reactor experiments searching for a nonzero value of θ13 is given, along with a discussion of the sensitivities that these experiments can reach in the near future.
