AbstractWe consider the four neutrino oscillation that accommodate the all neutrino oscillation data. We consider the range of the corresponding mixing parameters by the result of neutrino oscillation experiments. Implicaion of the neutrino oscillation search for the neutrino mass square difference and mixing are discussed. We determine the possible values of the effective majorana neutrino mass $|<m>|=|{\sum }_{j}U_{ej}^{2}m_{j}|$ | < m > | = | ∑ j U e j 2 m j | in the four neutrino scenario. In the four-neutrino scheme there is an upper bound on | < m > | of the normal mass order is 2.0074eV for α = 0∘,β = 0∘andγ = 0∘. In the case of inverted mass order the upper bound on | < m > | is 2.0069eV for α = 0∘,β = 0∘andγ = 0∘.

We present a review of neutrino phenomenology in the minimal seesaw model (MSM), an economical and intriguing extension of the Standard Model with only two heavy right-handed Majorana neutrinos. Given current neutrino oscillation data, the MSM can predict the neutrino mass spectrum and constrain the effective masses of the tritium beta decay and the neutrinoless double-beta decay. We outline five distinct schemes to parameterize the neutrino Yukawa-coupling matrix of the MSM. The lepton flavor mixing and baryogenesis via leptogenesis are investigated in some detail by taking account of possible texture zeros of the Dirac neutrino mass matrix. We derive an upper bound on the CP-violating asymmetry in the decay of the lighter right-handed Majorana neutrino. The effects of the renormalization-group evolution on the neutrino mixing parameters are analyzed, and the correlation between the CP-violating phenomena at low and high energies is highlighted. We show that the observed matter-antimatter asymmetry of the Universe can naturally be interpreted through the resonant leptogenesis mechanism at the TeV scale. The lepton-flavor-violating rare decays, such as μ→e+γ, are also discussed in the supersymmetric extension of the MSM.

We have studied that the implication of a large value of the effective Majorana neutrino mass in case of neutrino mass matrices has either two equal elements and one zero element (popularly known as hybrid texture) or two equal cofactors and one zero minor (popularly known as inverse hybrid texture) in the flavor basis. In each of these cases, four out of sixty phenomenologically possible patterns predict near maximal atmospheric neutrino mixing angle in the limit of large effective Majorana neutrino mass. This feature remains irrespective of the experimental data on solar and reactor mixing angles. In addition, we have also performed the comparative study of all the viable cases of hybrid and inverse hybrid textures at 3σ CL.

Unitarity of the [Formula: see text] lepton flavor mixing matrix [Formula: see text] is unavoidably violated in a seesaw mechanism if its new heavy degrees of freedom are slightly mixed with the active neutrino flavors. We propose to use the atomic transition process [Formula: see text] (for [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text]), where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] stand, respectively for the excited and ground levels of an atomic system, to probe or constrain the unitarity-violating effects of [Formula: see text]. We find that the photon spectrum of this transition will be distorted by the effects of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] as compared with the [Formula: see text] case. We locate certain frequencies in the photon spectrum to minimize the degeneracy of effects of the unitarity violation and uncertainties of the flavor mixing parameters themselves. The requirements of a nominal experimental setup to test the unitarity of [Formula: see text] are briefly discussed.

This paper reviews the constraints on the solar neutrino mixing parameters with data collected by the Homestake, SAGE, GALLEX, Kamiokande, SuperKamiokande, and SNO experiments. An emphasis will be given to the global solar neutrino analyses in terms of matter-enhanced oscillation of two active flavors. The results to-date, including both solar model dependent and independent measurements, indicate that electron neutrinos are changing to other active types on route to the Earth from the Sun. The total flux of solar neutrinos is found to be in very good agreement with solar model calculations. Future measurements will focus on greater accuracy for mixing parameters and on better sensitivity to low neutrino energies.

The vacuum stability condition of the Standard Model (SM) Higgs potential with mass in the range of 124–127 GeV puts an upper bound on the Dirac mass of the neutrinos. We study this constraint with the right-handed neutrino masses up to TeV scale. The heavy neutrinos contribute to ΔL = 2 processes like neutrinoless double beta decay and same-sign-dilepton (SSD) production in the colliders. The vacuum stability criterion also restricts the light-heavy neutrino mixing and constrains the branching ratio (BR) of lepton flavor-violating process, like μ→eγ mediated by the heavy neutrinos. We show that neutrinoless double beta decay with a lifetime ~1025 years can be observed if the lightest heavy neutrino mass is <4.5 TeV. We show that the vacuum stability condition and the experimental bound on μ→e γ together put a constrain on heavy neutrino mass MR>3.3 TeV. Finally we show that the observation of SSDs associated with jets at the LHC needs much larger luminosity than available at present. We have estimated the possible maximum cross-section for this process at the LHC and show that with an integrated luminosity 100 fb-1 it may be possible to observe the SSD signals as long as MR < 400 GeV.
