Randomly Generated Majorana Neutrino Mass Matrix for CP-Conserving Case
摘要
The present work aims to discriminate among the theoretically predicted different forms of Majorana neutrino mass matrix including texture zeros. The neutrino oscillation parameters are numerically extracted by diagonalizing a general charge-parity (CP)-conserving Majorana neutrino mass matrix whose elements are randomly generated within a certain range of allowed values using adaptive Monte Carlo method. The latest neutrino oscillation experimental data within 3 \(\sigma \) determines allowed values of the elements of the neutrino mass matrix. The latest Planck upper bound on the sum of three absolute masses \(\sum \vert m_i\vert <0.12\) eV is imposed in the numerical analysis. Both normal hierarchy (NH) and inverted hierarchy (IH) mass models are allowed, thus showing the possibility of both mass hierarchies within \(3\sigma \) . Further, the detailed numerical analysis confirms that the normal hierarchical mass model is valid up to mass bound, \(\sum \vert m_i\vert \ge 0.06\) eV while the inverted hierarchical mass model is valid up to mass bound, \(\sum \vert m_i\vert \ge 0.1 \) eV. In both models, the value of \(\theta _{23}\) is allowed in both below and above \(45^0\) . However, \(\theta _{23}>45^0\) is found to be more favourable for NH whereas \(\theta _{23}<45^0\) is more favourable for IH.
