Title Status and implications of neutrino masses: a brief panorama Type Journal Article
Year (down) 2015 Publication International Journal of Modern Physics A Abbreviated Journal Int. J. Mod. Phys. A
Volume 30 Issue 13 Pages 1530034 - 13pp
Keywords Neutrino mixing and oscillations; seesaw mechanism; quark-lepton unification; flavor symmetry; electroweak symmetry breaking; neutrinoless double beta decay; dark matter; inflation
Abstract With the historic discovery of the Higgs boson our picutre of particle physics would have been complete were it nor for the neutrino sector and cosmology. I briefly discuss the role of neutrino masses and mixing upon gauge coupling unification, electroweak breaking and the flavor sector. Time is ripe for new discoveries such as leptonic CP violation, charged lepton flavor violation and neutrinoless double beta decay. Neutrinos could also play a role is elucidating the nature of dark matter and cosmic inflation.

Title Status of three-neutrino oscillation parameters Type Journal Article
Year (down) 2013 Publication Fortschritte der Physik-Progress of Physics Abbreviated Journal Fortschritte Phys.-Prog. Phys.
Volume 61 Issue 4-5 Pages 427-440
Keywords Neutrino mass and mixing; neutrino oscillations; solar and atmospheric neutrinos; reactor and accelerator neutrinos
Abstract Here we review the current status of global fits to neutrino oscillation data within the three-flavour framework. In our analysis we include the most recent data from solar and atmospheric neutrino experiments as well as the latest results from the long-baseline accelerator neutrino experiments and the recent measurements of reactor neutrino disappearance reported by Double Chooz, Daya Bay and RENO. We present updated determinations for the two neutrino mass splittings and the three mixing angles responsible for neutrino oscillations that, for the first time, have all been measured with 1 sigma accuracies ranging from 3 to 15%. A weak sensitivity for the CP violating phase is also reported from the global analysis.

Title Quark mixing in the discrete dark matter model Type Journal Article
Year (down) 2012 Publication Nuclear Physics B Abbreviated Journal Nucl. Phys. B
Volume 856 Issue 3 Pages 670-681
Keywords Discrete flavour symmetries; Dark matter; Meson oscillations
Abstract We consider a model in which dark matter is stable as it is charged under a Z(2) symmetry that is residual after an A(4) flavour symmetry is broken. We consider the possibility to generate the quark masses by charging the quarks appropriately under A(4). We find that it is possible to generate the CKM mixing matrix by an interplay of renormalisable and dimension-six operators. In this set-up, we predict the third neutrino mixing angle to be large and the dark matter relic density to be in the correct range. Low energy observables – in particular meson-antimeson oscillations – are hard to facilitate. We find that only in a situation where there is a strong cancellation between the Standard Model contribution and the contribution of the new Higgs fields, B meson oscillations are under control.

Title Absence of a day-night asymmetry in the Be-7 solar neutrino rate in Borexino Type Journal Article
Year (down) 2012 Publication Physics Letters B Abbreviated Journal Phys. Lett. B
Volume 707 Issue 1 Pages 22-26
Keywords Solar neutrinos; Day-night effect; CPT violation; Neutrino oscillations
Abstract We report the result of a search for a day-night asymmetry in the Be-7 solar neutrino interaction rate in the Borexino detector at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) in Italy. The measured asymmetry is A(dn) = 0.001 +/- 0.012 (stat) +/- 0.007 (syst), in agreement with the prediction of MSW-LMA solution for neutrino oscillations. This result disfavors MSW oscillations with mixing parameters in the LOW region at more than 8.5 sigma. This region is, for the first time, strongly disfavored without the use of reactor anti-neutrino data and therefore the assumption of CPT symmetry. The result can also be used to constrain some neutrino oscillation scenarios involving new physics.

Title Measurement of atmospheric neutrino oscillations with the ANTARES neutrino telescope Type Journal Article
Year (down) 2012 Publication Physics Letters B Abbreviated Journal Phys. Lett. B
Volume 714 Issue 2-5 Pages 224-230
Keywords Neutrino oscillations; Neutrino telescope; ANTARES
Abstract The data taken with the ANTARES neutrino telescope from 2007 to 2010, a total live time of 863 days, are used to measure the oscillation parameters of atmospheric neutrinos. Muon tracks are reconstructed with energies as low as 20 GeV. Neutrino oscillations will cause a suppression of vertical upgoing muon neutrinos of such energies crossing the Earth. The parameters determining the oscillation of atmospheric neutrinos are extracted by fitting the event rate as a function of the ratio of the estimated neutrino energy and reconstructed flight path through the Earth. Measurement contours of the oscillation parameters in a two-flavour approximation are derived. Assuming maximal mixing, a mass difference of Delta m(32)(2) = (3.1 +/- 0.9) . 10(-3) eV(2) is obtained, in good agreement with the world average value.
