Ue3 from physics above the GUT scale

Abstract: We consider non-renormalizable 1/M X interaction terms as a perturbation of the conventional neutrino mass matrix. Particular attention is given to the gravitational interaction with M X = M Pl . We find that for the degenerate neutrino mass spectrum, the considered perturbation generates a non-zero U e3 which is within reach of the high performance neutrino factories and just on the borderline to be of interest for supernova physics. For the hierarchical mass spectrum this effect is small. For 1/M X interacti… Show more

“…Smaller |m ββ | values can be obtained only if the Majorana phases differ by ∼ π . Based on this, theoretical models for the neutrino mass matrix predicting a small |m ββ | [9,10] are expected to have Majorana phases which obey this condition.…”

“…This does not necessarily mean that a vanishing effective mass implies that the theory suffers from dangerous fine tuning. Namely, in some models the effective mass can assume a naturally small value that remains small after renormalization due to the chiral symmetry of fermions [9,10].…”

“…One may think that this operator is generated by some gravitational Planck scale effects, so that M ∼ M P l and λ ij ∼ 1 [3]. In this case however, m ij ∼ 10 −5 eV are too small to explain the observed masses (although such a contribution can still produce some subleading features [4]). Therefore, new scales of physics below M P l must exist to give the desired mass to neutrinos.…”
