Model-Independent Short-Baseline Oscillations from Reactor Spectral Ratios

S. Gariazzo, C. Giunti, M. Laveder +1

We consider the ratio of the spectra measured in the DANSS neutrino experiment at 12.7 and 10.7~m from a nuclear reactor. These data give a new model-independent indication in favo…

Q_6 flavor symmetry model for the extension of the minimal standard model by three right-handed sterile neutrinos

Takeshi Araki, Y. F. Li

The extension of the minimal standard model by three right-handed sterile neutrinos with masses smaller than the electroweak scale (nuMSM) is discussed in a Q_6 flavor symmetry fra…

Vanishing effective mass of the neutrinoless double beta decay including light sterile neutrinos

Y. F. Li, Si-shuo Liu

Light sterile neutrinos with masses at the sub-eV or eV scale are hinted by current experimental and cosmological data. Assuming the Majorana nature of these hypothetical particles…

Neutrinos as Hot or Warm Dark Matter

Y. F. Li, Zhi-zhong Xing

Both active and sterile sub-eV neutrinos can serve for hot dark matter (DM). On the other hand, keV sterile neutrinos could be a good candidate for warm DM. The beta-decaying (e.g.…

Possible Capture of keV Sterile Neutrino Dark Matter on Radioactive beta-decaying Nuclei

Y. F. Li, Zhi-zhong Xing

There exists an observed "desert" spanning six orders of magnitude between O(0.5) eV and O(0.5) MeV in the fermion mass spectrum. We argue that it might accommodate one or more keV…

Corrections to Tribimaximal Mixing from Nondegenerate Phases

Y. F. Li, Q. Y. Liu

We propose a seesaw scenario that possible corrections to the tribimaximal pattern of lepton mixing are due to the small phase splitting of the right-handed neutrino mass matrix. w…
