Flavor structures of charged fermions and massive neutrinos

Z Xing - Physics Reports, 2020 - Elsevier
Most of the free parameters in the Standard Model (SM)—a quantum field theory which has
successfully elucidated the behaviors of strong, weak and electromagnetic interactions of all …

A review of μ-τ flavor symmetry in neutrino physics

Z Xing, Z Zhao - Reports on Progress in Physics, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
Behind the observed pattern of lepton flavor mixing is a partial or approximate μ-τ flavor
symmetry—a milestone on our road to the true origin of neutrino masses and flavor …

Measuring the leptonic phase in neutrino oscillations with nonunitary mixing

SF Ge, P Pasquini, M Tortola, JWF Valle - Physical Review D, 2017 - APS
Non-unitary neutrino mixing implies an extra CP violating phase that can fake the leptonic
Dirac CP phase δ CP of the simplest three-neutrino mixing benchmark scheme. This would …

[HTML][HTML] Generalized μ–τ reflection symmetry and leptonic CP violation

P Chen, GJ Ding, F Gonzalez-Canales, JWF Valle - Physics Letters B, 2016 - Elsevier
We propose a generalized μ–τ reflection symmetry to constrain the lepton flavor mixing
parameters. We obtain a new correlation between the atmospheric mixing angle θ 23 and …

Trimaximal reflection symmetry

W Rodejohann, XJ Xu - Physical Review D, 2017 - APS
The μ-τ reflection symmetry (ν e, ν μ, ν τ)→(ν¯ e, ν¯ τ, ν¯ μ) and the TM1 mixing (a
Pontecorvo–Maki–Nakagawa–Sakata matrix with the first column fixed to the tribimaximal …

Predictions for leptonic mixing angle correlations and nontrivial Dirac violation from with generalized symmetry

J Turner - Physical Review D, 2015 - APS
Using a discrete flavor group, A 5, combined with generalized CP, we study the mixing
parameter correlations which arise from breaking to residual symmetries in the neutrino G ν …

Soft A4→ Z3 symmetry breaking and cobimaximal neutrino mixing

E Ma - Physics Letters B, 2016 - Elsevier
I propose a model of radiative charged-lepton and neutrino masses with A 4 symmetry. The
soft breaking of A 4 to Z 3 lepton triality is accomplished by dimension-three terms. The …

[HTML][HTML] A4 and CP symmetry and a model with maximal CP violation

CC Li, JN Lu, GJ Ding - Nuclear Physics B, 2016 - Elsevier
We study a second CP symmetry compatible with the A 4 flavor group, which interchanges
the representations 1′ and 1 ″. We analyze the lepton mixing patterns arising from the A 4 …

reflection symmetry embedded in minimal seesaw

N Nath, Z Xing, J Zhang - The European Physical Journal C, 2018 - Springer
We embed μ-τ μ-τ reflection symmetry into the minimal seesaw formalism, where two right-
handed neutrinos are added to the Standard Model of particle physics. Assuming that both …

[HTML][HTML] Mu-tau symmetry and the Littlest Seesaw

SF King, CC Nishi - Physics Letters B, 2018 - Elsevier
Motivated by the latest neutrino oscillation data which is consistent with maximal
atmospheric mixing and maximal leptonic CP violation, we review various results in μτ …
