Is θ_{13}^{PMNS} correlated with θ_{23}^{PMNS} or not?

Abstract

By postulating the relation θ_{23} \simeq 45^\circ + ηθ_{13}, we seek preferable correction terms to tri-bi-maximal mixing and discuss their origins. Global analyses of the neutrino oscillation parameters favor η=\pm 1/\sqrt{2}; this corresponds to the relation found by Edy, Frampton, and Matsuzaki some years ago in the context of a T^\prime flavor symmetry. In contrast, the results of the ν_μdisappearance mode reported by the T2K and Super-Kamiokande collaborations seem to prefer η=0, which gives an almost maximal θ_{23}. We derive a general condition for ensuring θ_{23} \simeq 45^\circ + ηθ_{13} and find that the condition is complicated by the neutrino masses and CP violating phases. We investigate the condition under simplified environments and arrive at several correction terms to the mass matrices. It is found that the obtained correction terms can arise from flavor symmetries or one-loop radiative corrections.
