  Title Probing CP violation with non-unitary mixing in long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments: DUNE as a case study Type Journal Article
  Year 2017 Publication (up) New Journal of Physics Abbreviated Journal New J. Phys.  
  Volume 19 Issue Pages 093005 - 14pp  
  Keywords neutrino masses and mixings; neutrino oscillations; neutrino interactions  
  Abstract When neutrino masses arise from the exchange of neutral heavy leptons, as in most seesaw schemes, the effective lepton mixing matrix N describing neutrino propagation is non-unitary, hence neutrinos are not exactly orthonormal. New CP violation phases appear in N that could be confused with the standard phase delta(CP) characterizing the three neutrino paradigm. We study the potential of the long-baseline neutrino experiment DUNE in probing CP violation induced by the standard CP phase in the presence of non-unitarity. In order to accomplish this we develop our previous formalism, so as to take into account the neutrino interactions with the medium, important in long baseline experiments such as DUNE. We find that the expected CP sensitivity of DUNE is somewhat degraded with respect to that characterizing the standard unitary case. However the effect is weaker than might have been expected thanks mainly to the wide neutrino beam. We also investigate the sensitivity of DUNE to the parameters characterizing non-unitarity. In this case we find that there is no improvement expected with respect to the current situation, unless the near detector setup is revamped.

  Title A(4)-based neutrino masses with Majoron decaying dark matter Type Journal Article
  Year 2010 Publication (up) Physical Review D Abbreviated Journal Phys. Rev. D  
  Volume 82 Issue 7 Pages 073008 - 8pp  
  Keywords  
  Abstract We propose an A(4) flavor-symmetric SU(3) circle times SU(2) circle times U(1) seesaw model where lepton number is broken spontaneously. A consistent two-zero texture pattern of neutrino masses and mixing emerges from the interplay of type-I and type-II seesaw contributions, with important phenomenological predictions. We show that, if the Majoron becomes massive, such seesaw scenario provides a viable candidate for decaying dark matter, consistent with cosmic microwave background lifetime constraints that follow from current WMAP observations. We also calculate the subleading one-loop-induced decay into photons which leads to a monoenergetic emission line that may be observed in future x-ray missions such as Xenia.

  Title Global constraints on muon-neutrino nonstandard interactions Type Journal Article
  Year 2011 Publication (up) Physical Review D Abbreviated Journal Phys. Rev. D  
  Volume 83 Issue 9 Pages 093002 - 8pp  
  Keywords  
  Abstract The search for new interactions of neutrinos beyond those of the standard model may help to elucidate the mechanism responsible for neutrino masses. Here, we combine existing accelerator neutrino data with restrictions coming from a recent atmospheric neutrino data analysis in order to lift parameter degeneracies and improve limits on new interactions of muon neutrinos with quarks. In particular, we reconsider the results of the E-815 experiment at Fermilab (NuTeV) in view of a new evaluation of its systematic uncertainties. We find that, although constraints for muon neutrinos are better than those applicable to tau or electron neutrinos, they lie at the few X 10(-2) level, not as strong as previously believed. We briefly discuss prospects for further improvement.

  Title Low-energy neutrino-electron scattering as a standard model probe: The potential of LENA as case study Type Journal Article
  Year 2012 Publication (up) Physical Review D Abbreviated Journal Phys. Rev. D  
  Volume 85 Issue 7 Pages 073006 - 6pp  
  Keywords  
  Abstract Several proposals for studying neutrinos with large detectors are currently under discussion. We suggest that they could provide a precise measurement of the electroweak mixing angle as well as a probe for new physics, such as nonstandard neutrino interactions, and the electroweak gauge structure. We illustrate this explicitly for the case of the LENA proposal, either with an artificial radioactive source or by using the solar neutrino flux.

  Title Bilarge neutrino mixing and the Cabibbo angle Type Journal Article
  Year 2012 Publication (up) Physical Review D Abbreviated Journal Phys. Rev. D  
  Volume 86 Issue 5 Pages 051301 - 4pp  
  Keywords  
  Abstract Recent measurements of the neutrino mixing angles cast doubt on the validity of the so-far popular 2 tribimaximal mixing Ansatz. We propose a parametrization for the neutrino mixing matrix where the reactor angle seeds the large solar and atmospheric mixing angles, equal to each other in first approximation. We suggest such a bilarge mixing pattern as a model-building standard, realized when the leading order value of theta(13) equals the Cabibbo angle lambda(C).
