Lepton sector Quark sector Symmetry correspondence Additional structure exists which produces the difference. Is this seesaw? Something beyond seesaw?

  13. GUT's generically Give relations between masses of leptons and quarks Provide with all the ingredients necessary for seesaw mechanism mb = mt In general: ``sum rules’’ RH neutrino components large 2-3 leptonic mixing Large mass scale b - t unification Lepton number violation But - no explanation of the flavor structure

  14. 2. Quark-Lepton universality

  15. Universality approximate I. Dorsner, A.S. NPB 698 386 (2004) is realized in terms of the mass matrices (matrices of the Yukawa couplings) and not in terms of observables – mass ratios and mixing angles. Eigenvalues = masses Mass matrices M = Y V diagonalization Eigenstates = mixing Universal structure for mass matrices of all quarks and leptons in the lowest approximation: YU = YD = YnD = YL = Y0 Small perturbations: Yf = Y0 + DYf ( Y0)ij >> (DYf)ij f = u, d, L, D, M

  16. Singular mass matrices Important example: Det M = 0 l4 l3 l2 Y0 = l3 l2 l l2 l 1 l~ 0.2 - 0.3 Unstable with respect to small perturbations Yfij = Y0ij (1 + efij) f = u, d, e, n Perturbations e ~ 0.2 – 0.3 Universal singular Small perturbations allow to explain large difference in mass hierarchies and mixings of quarks and leptons Form of perturbations is crucial

  17. Seesaw plays crucial role Seesaw: m ~ 1/M Nearly singular matrix of RH neutrinos leads to - enhancement of lepton mixing - flip of the sign of mixing angle, so that the angles from the charged leptons and neutrinos sum up

  18. Universality of mixing A Joshipura, A.S. hep-ph/0512024 In some (universality) basis in the first approximation all the mass matrices but Ml (for the charged leptons) are diagonalized by the same matrix V: V+ Mf V = Df For the charged leptons, the mass VT Ml V* = Dl is diagonalized by V* V for u, d, n V* for l Ml = MdT Diagonalization: SU(5) type relation In the first approximation Another version is when neutrinos have distinguished rotation: Quark mixing: VCKM = V+ V = I Lepton mixing: VPMNS = VT V V for u, d, l V* for n

  19. In general In general, up and down fermions can be diagonalized by different matrices V’ and V respectively VPMNS = VT V’ VCKM = V’+ V VPMNS = VTV VCKM+ = V0PMNS VCKM + Quark and lepton rotations are complementary to VVT VPMNS VCKM = VTV - symmetric, characterized by 2 angles; - close to the observed mixing for q/2 ~ f ~ 20 – 25o - 1-3 mixing near the upper bound V0PMNS = VTV • gives very good description of data • predicts sin q13 > 0.08 VPMNS (with CKM corr.)

  20. Origin of universal mixing Universal mixing and universal matrices Ml ~ m D A D* Mu, n ~ m D* A D* Md ~ m D*A D D = diag(1, i, 1) A is the universal matrix: e12 e22 e12 e2 e1 e2 . . . e1 e2 e1 1 ei ~ 0.2 – 0.3 A ~ Can be embedded in to SU(5) and SO(10) with additional assumptions

  21. 3. Quark-Lepton complementarity

  22. Quark-Lepton Complementarity A.S. M. Raidal H. Minakata ql12 + qq12 ~ p/4 qsol + qC = 46.7o +/- 2.4o qatm + Vcb = 45o +/- 3o ql23 + qq23 ~ p/4 1s H. Minakata, A.S. Phys. Rev. D70: 073009 (2004) [hep-ph/0405088] Difficult to expects exact equalities but qualitatively 2-3 leptonic mixing is close to maximal because 2-3 quark mixing is small may not be accidental 1-2 leptonic mixing deviates from maximal substantially because 1-2 quark mixing is relatively large

  23. Possible implications ``Lepton mixing = bi-maximal mixing – quark mixing’’ Quark-lepton symmetry sin qC = 0.22 as ``quantum’’ of flavor physics or Existence of structure which produces bi-maximal mixing sinqC = mm /mt Mixing matrix weakly depends on mass eigenvalues sinqC ~ sin q13 Appears in different places of theory Vquarks = I, Vleptons =Vbm m1 = m2 = 0 In the lowest approximation:

  24. Bi-maximal mixing F. Vissani V. Barger et al Ubm = U23mU12m ½ ½ -½ ½ ½ ½ -½ ½ 0 Two maximal rotations Ubm = As dominant structure? Zero order? UPMNS = Ubm • - maximal 2-3 mixing • - zero 1-3 mixing • maximal 1-2 mixing • - no CP-violation Contradicts data at (5-6)s level Deviation of 1-2 mixing from maximal Generates simultaneously In the lowest order? Corrections? UPMNS = U’ Ubm Non-zero 1-3 mixing U’ = U12(a)

  29. 4. Effects of new neutrino states 1). Superheavy MS >> vEW - decouple 2). Heavy: vEW >> mS >> mn 3). Light: mS ~ mn play role in dynamics of oscillations two applications

  30. Screening of Dirac structure M. Lindner M. Schmidt A.S. JHEP0507, 048 (2005) Double (cascade) seesaw 0 mD 0 m = mDT 0 MDT 0 MD MS n N S Additional fermions mD << MD << MS R. Mohapatra PRL 56, 561, (1986) MR = - MDTMS-1 MD R. Mohapatra. J. Valle MS – Majorana mass matrix of new fermions S mn = mD MD-1MS MD-1mD A.S. PRD 48, 3264 (1993) A ~ vEW/MGU If MD = A-1mD mn= A2 MS mD similar (equal) to quark mass matrix - cancels Structure of the neutrino mass matrix is determined by MS -> physics at highest (Planck?) scale immediately

  31. Reconciling Q-L symmetry and different mixings of quarks and leptons Seesaw provides scale and not the flavor structure of neutrino mass matrix Structure of the neutrino mass matrix is determined by MS ~ MPl ? MS leads to quasi-degenerate spectrum if e.g. MS ~ I, origin of ``neutrino’’ symmetry origin of maximal (or bi-maximal) mixing Q-l complementarity

  32. Induced mass matrix Mixing with sterile states change structure of the mass matrix of active neutrinos Active neutrinos acquire (e.g. via seesaw) the Majorana mass matrix ma Consider one state S which has - Majorana mass M and - mixing masses with active neutrinos, miS (i = e, m, t) After decoupling of S the active neutrino mass matrix becomes (mn)ij = (ma )ij - miSmjS/M induced mass matrix sinqS = mS/M mind = sinqS2 M

  33. Effects and benchmarks Induced matrix can reproduce the following structures of the active neutrino mass mind = sinqS2 M Dominant structures for normal and inverted hierarchy sinqS2 M > 0.02 – 0.03 eV Sub-leading structures for normal hierarchy sinqS2 M ~ 0.003 eV Effect is negligible sinqS2 M < 0.001 eV

  34. Tri-bimaximal mixing In the case of normal mass hierarchy 0 0 0 0 1 -1 0 -1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 m2 = Dmsol2 mtbm ~ m2/3 + m3/2 Assume the coupling of S with active neutrinos is flavor blind (universal): miS = mS = m2 /3 Then mind can reproduce the first matrix mtbm = ma +mind ma is the second matrix Two sterile neutrinos can reproduce whole tbm-matrix

  35. Bounds on active-sterile mixing Two regions are allowed: R. Zukanovic-Funcal, A.S. in preparation MS ~ 0.1 – 1 eV MS > (0.1 – 1) GeV and

  36. Summary • Q & L: • - strong difference of mass and mixing pattern; • possible presence of the special leptonic (neutrino) symmetries; • quark-lepton complementarity This may indicate that q & l are fundamentally different or some new structure of theory exists (beyond seesaw) Still approximate quarks and leptons universality can be realized. • Mixing with new neutrino states can play the • role of this additional structure: • screening of the Dirac structure • - induced matrix with certain symmetries.

  37. 2-3 mixing SK (3n) - no shift from maximal mixing sin22q23 > 0.93, 90% C.L. T2K maximal mixing QLC1 QLC2 SK (3n) 90% 3s Gonzalez-Garcia, Maltoni, A.S. 2s 1s Fogli et al 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 sin2q23 1). in agreement with maximal 2). shift of the bfp from maximal is small 3). still large deviation is allowed: 2s (0.5 - sin2q23)/sin q23 ~ 40%

  39. Are Neutrino Particles just like the other Fundamental Fermions? Possibility that their properties are related to very high scale physics Why not? Violate fundamental symmetries, Lorentz inv. CPT, Pauli principle? Smallness of mass Large mixing Can propagate in extra dimensions Manifestations of non- QFT features?
