Deviations in Tribimaximal Mixing From Sterile Neutrino Sector

arXiv:1607.08051 · doi:10.1016/j.nuclphysb.2016.08.015

Abstract

We explore the possibility of generating a non-zero element of the neutrino mixing matrix from tribimaximal neutrino mixing by adding a light sterile neutrino to the active neutrinos. Small active-sterile mixing can provide the necessary deviation from tribimaximal mixing to generate a non-zero and atmospheric mixing different from maximal. Assuming no CP-violation, we study the phenomenological impact of sterile neutrinos in the context of current neutrino oscillation data. The tribimaximal pattern is broken in such a manner that the second column of tribimaximal mixing remains intact in the neutrino mixing matrix.
