Lower Bounds on U_{e3}

Abstract

We give minimal values for the smallest lepton mixing parameter U_{e3}, applying 2-loop renormalization group equations in an effective theory approach. This is relevant in scenarios that predict an inverted neutrino mass spectrum with the smallest mass and U_{e3} being zero at tree level, a situation known to be preserved at 1-loop order. At 2-loop, U_{e3} is generated at a level of 10^{-12}-10^{-14}. Such small values are of interest in supernova physics. Corresponding limits for the normal mass ordering are several orders of magnitude larger. Our results show that U_{e3} can in general expected be to be non-zero.
