Correlating lepton mixing angles and mixing matrix with Wolfenstein parameters

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

Inspired by a new relation θ13PMNS=θC/2θ_{13}^{\rm PMNS}={θ_C}/{\sqrt{2}} observed from the relatively large θ13PMNSθ_{13}^{\rm PMNS}, we find that the combination of this relation with the quark-lepton complementarity and the self-complementarity results in correlations of the lepton mixing angles with the quark mixing angles. We find that the three mixing angles in the PMNS matrix are all related to the Wolfenstein parameter λλ in the quark mixing, so they are also correlated. Consequently, the PMNS matrix can be parameterized by λλ, A, and a Dirac CP-violating phase δδ. Such parametrizations for the PMNS matrix have the same explicitly hierarchical structure as the Wolfenstein parametrization for the CKM matrix in the quark mixing, and the bimaximal mixing pattern is deduced at the leading order. We also discuss implications of these phenomenological relations in parametrizations.
