Predicting CP violation in Deviation from Tri-bimaximal mixing of Neutrinos

preprint2014arXivOpen access

Abstract

We study the CP violation in the deviation from the tri-bimaximal mixing (TBM) of neutrinos. We examine non-trivial relations among the mixing angles and the CP violating Dirac phase in the typical four cases of the deviation from the TBM. The first two cases are derived by the additional rotation of the 2-3 or 1-3 generations of neutrinos in the TBM basis. The other two cases are given by the additional rotation of the 1-3 or 1-2 generations of charged leptons with the TBM neutrinos. These four cases predict different relations among three mixing angles and the CP violating Dirac phase. The rotation of the 2-3 generations of neutrinos in the TBM basis predicts sin⁡2θ12<1/3\sin ^2θ_{12}<1/3, and the CP violating Dirac phase to be ±(0.09π∼0.76π)\pm (0.09π\sim 0.76π) for NH (±(0.15π∼0.73π) for IH\pm (0.15π\sim 0.73π) \ \text{for IH}) depending on sin⁡2θ23\sin ^2θ_{23}. The rotation of the 1-3 generations of neutrinos in the TBM basis gives sin⁡2θ12>1/3\sin ^2θ_{12}>1/3. The CP violating Dirac phase is not constrained by the input of the present experimental data. For the case of the 1-3 and 1-2 rotations of charged leptons in the TBM basis, the CP violating Dirac phase is predicted in ±(0.35π∼0.60π)\pm(0.35π\sim 0.60π) depending on sin⁡2θ12\sin ^2θ_{12} for both NH and IH cases. We also discuss the specific case that θ13θ_{13} is related with the Cabibbo angle λλ such as sin⁡θ13=λ/2\sinθ_{13}=λ/\sqrt{2}, in which the maximal CP violation is preferred. The CP violating Dirac phase can distinguish the lepton flavor mixing patterns at T2K and NOννA experiments in the future.
