Understanding for flavor physics in the lepton sector

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

In this paper, we give a model for understanding flavor physics in the lepton sector--mass hierarchy among different generations and neutrino mixing pattern. The model is constructed in the framework of supersymmetry, with a family symmetry S4∗U(1)S4*U(1). There are two right-handed neutrinos introduced for seesaw mechanism, while some standard model(SM) gauge group singlet fields are included which transforms non-trivially under family symmetry. In the model, each order of contributions are suppressed by δ∼0.1δ\sim 0.1 compared to the previous one. In order to reproduce the mass hierarchy, mτm_τ and Δmatm2\sqrt{Δm_{atm}^2}, mμm_μ and Δmsol2\sqrt{Δm_{sol}^2} are obtained at leading-order(LO) and next-to-leading-order(NLO) respectively, while electron can only get its mass through next-to-next-to-next-to-leading-order(NNNLO) contributions. For neutrino mixing angels, θ12,θ23,θ13θ_{12}, θ_{23}, θ_{13} are 45∘,45∘,045^\circ, 45^\circ, 0 i.e. Bi-maximal mixing pattern as first approximation, while higher order contributions can make them consistent with experimental results. As corrections for θ12θ_{12} and θ13θ_{13} originate from the same contribution, there is a relation predicted for them sin⁡θ13=1−tan⁡θ121+tan⁡θ12\sin{θ_{13}}=\displaystyle \frac{1-\tan{θ_{12}}}{1+\tan{θ_{12}}}. Besides, deviation from π4\displaystyle \fracπ{4} for θ23θ_{23} should have been as large as deviation from 0 for θ13θ_{13} if it were not the former is suppressed by a factor 4 compared to the latter.
