Simple parametrization of neutrino mixing matrix

preprint2013arXivOpen access

Abstract

We propose simple forms of neutrino mixing matrix in analogy with the Wolfenstein parametrization of quark mixing matrix, by adopting the smallest mixing angle θ13θ_{13} as a measure of expansion parameters with the tribimaximal pattern as the base matrix. The triminimal parametrization technique is utilized to expand the mixing matrix under two schemes, i.e., the standard Chau-Keung (CK) scheme and the original Kobayashi-Maskawa (KM) scheme. The new parametrizations have their corresponding Wolfenstein-like parametrizations of quark mixing matrix, and therefore they share the same intriguing features of the Wolfenstein parametrization. The newly introduced expansion parameters for neutrinos are connected to the Wolfenstein parameters for quarks via the quark-lepton complementarity.
