Model Predictions for Neutrino Oscillation Parameters

Abstract

We have surveyed leptonic and grand unified models of neutrino masses and mixings in the literature which are still viable and give numerical predictions for the reactor angle, ${\theta }_{13}$. The results are of considerable interest in anticipation of the next generation reactor experiments and the possible future need for neutrino factories. Of the 63 models considered which were published or posted on the Archive before June 2006, half predict values of $\sin^2 2θ_{13} \gsim 0.015$, which should yield positive signals for ${\bar{\nu }}_e$ disappearance in the reactor experiments planned for the near future. Depending upon the outcome of those experiments, half of the models can be eliminated on the basis of the presence or absence of such an observed ${\bar{\nu }}_e$ disappearance signal.
