The reactor antineutrino anomaly and low energy threshold neutrino experiments
Short distance reactor antineutrino experiments measure an antineutrino
spectrum a few percent lower than expected from theoretical predictions. In
this work we study the potential of low energy threshold reactor experiments in
the context of a light sterile neutrino signal. We discuss the perspectives of
the recently detected coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering in future
reactor antineutrino experiments. We find that the expectations to improve the
current constraints on the mixing with sterile neutrinos are promising. We also
analyse the measurements of antineutrino scattering off electrons from short
distance reactor experiments. In this case, the statistics is not competitive
with inverse beta decay experiments, although future experiments might play a
role when compare it with the Gallium anomaly.Comment: 9 pages, 6 figures, 1 table, matches published versio
Flavored Non-Minimal Left-Right Symmetric Model Fermion Masses and Mixings
A complete study on the fermion masses and flavor mixing is presented in a
non-minimal left-right symmetric model (NMLRMS) where the flavor symmetry drives the Yukawa
couplings. In the quark sector, the mass matrices possess a kind of the
generalized Fritzsch textures that allow us to fit the CKM mixing matrix in
good agreement to the last experimental data. In the lepton sector, on the
other hand, a soft breaking of the symmetry provides
a non zero and non maximal reactor and atmospheric angles, respectively. The
inverted and degenerate hierarchy are favored in the model where a set of free
parameters is found to be consistent with the current neutrino data.Comment: 23 pages, 9 figures. references added, typos corrected, JCGI added

Low-energy neutrino-electron scattering as a Standard Model probe: the potential of LENA as case study
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 non-standard neutrino interactions (NSI), 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
