Neutrino Mass Squared Differences in the Exact Solution of a 3-3-1 Gauge Model without Exotic Electric Charges

The mass splittings for the Majorana neutrinos in the exact solution of a particular 3-3-1 gauge model are computed here in detail. Since both $\sin^{2}\theta_{13}\simeq0$ and the mass splittings ratio $r_{\Delta}\simeq0.033$ are taken into account, the analytical calculations seem to predict an inverted mass hierarchy and a mixing matrix with a texture based on a very close approximation to the bi-maximal mixing. The resulting formulas for the mass squared differences can naturally accomodate the available data if the unique free parameter ($a$) gets very small values ($\sim10^{-15}$). Consequently, the smallness of the parameter requires (according to our method) a large breaking scale $\sim10^{6}-10^{7}$ TeV in the model. Hence, the results concerning the neutrino mass splittings may lead to a more precise tuning in the exact solution of the 3-3-1 model of interest, being able - at the same time - to recover all the Standard Model phenomenology and predict the mass spectrum of the new gauge bosons $Z^{\prime},X,Y$ in accordance with the actual data. The minimal absolute mass in the neutrino sector is also obtained - $m_{0}\simeq0.0035$ eV - in the case of our suitable approximation for the bi-maxcimal mixing.Comment: 10 pages, no figure

The exact eigenstates of the neutrino mass matrix without CP-phase violation

In this paper we obtain the exact mass-eigenstates of the Majorana physical neutrinos. We start by taking into account a general $3\times3$ mass matrix without any CP-phase violation. It is then diagonalized by exactly solving an appropriate set of equations. The solution supplies straightforwardly the mass eigenvalues depending on the diagonal entries and mixing angles. Finally, the consequences of these analytical expressions are discussed assuming various phenomenological restrictions such as conserving the global lepton number $L=L_{e}-L_{\mu}-L_{\tau}$ and the $\mu-\tau$ interchange symmetry. The minimal absolute mass in the neutrino sector is also obtained since the two plausible scenarios invoked above are employed.Comment: 9 pages, no figure

Neutrino mixing matrix in the 3-3-1 model with heavy leptons and A4A_4 symmetry

We study the lepton sector in the model based on the local gauge group $SU(3)_c\otimes SU(3)_L\otimes U(1)_X$ which do not contain particles with exotic electric charges. The seesaw mechanism and discrete $A_4$ symmetry are introduced into the model to understand why neutrinos are especially light and the observed pattern of neutrino mixing. The model provides a method for obtaining the tri-bimaximal mixing matrix in the leading order. A non-zero mixing angle $V_{e3}$ presents in the modified mixing matrix.Comment: 10 page

Conserving the lepton number Le−Lμ−LτL_{e}-L_{\mu}-L_{\tau} in the exact solution of a 3-3-1 gauge model with right-handed neutrinos

In this paper we consider a plausible scenario with conserved lepton number \textbf{$L=L_{e}-L_{\mu}-L_{\tau}$} within the framework of the exact solution of a particular 3-3-1 gauge model. We discuss what are the consequences of conserving this global leptonic symmetry from the viewpoint of the neutrino mass matrix constructed via special Yukawa terms (involving tensor products among Higgs triplets). We prove that the actual experimental data can naturally be reproduced by our scenario since soft breaking terms with respect to this lepton symmetry are properly introduced. As a consequence, our solution predicts for the neutrino sector the correct mass splitting ratio ($\Delta m_{12}^{2}/\Delta m_{23}^{2}\simeq0.033$), the inverted mass hierarchy, the correct values for the observed mixing angles ($\sin^{2}\theta_{23}\simeq0.5$ and $\sin^{2}\theta_{12}=0.31$)and the absolute mass of the lightest neutrino ($m_{0}\sim0.001$eV)independent of the breakung scale of the model.Comment: 10 pages, no figure

Large theta_13 from a model with broken L_e-L_mu-L_tau symmetry

Recent data in the neutrino sector point towards a relatively large value of the reactor angle, incompatible with a vanishing theta_ 13 at about 3 sigma. In order to explain such a result, we propose a SUSY model based on the broken L_e-L_mu-L_tau symmetry, where large deviations from the symmetric limit theta_12 = pi/4, tan(theta_23) \sim O(1) and theta_13 = 0 mainly come from the charged lepton sector. We show that a description of all neutrino data is possible if the charged lepton mass matrix has a special pattern of complex matrix elements.Comment: 9 pages, 2 figures. v2: comments and references added, as published in JHE

The seesaw mechanism at TeV scale in the 3-3-1 model with right-handed neutrinos

We implement the seesaw mechanism in the 3-3-1 model with right-handed neutrinos. This is accomplished by the introduction of a scalar sextet into the model and the spontaneous violation of the lepton number. We identify the Majoron as a singlet under $SU_L(2)\otimes U_Y(1)$ symmetry, which makes it safe under the current bounds imposed by electroweak data. The main result of this work is that the seesaw mechanism works already at TeV scale with the outcome that the right-handed neutrino masses lie in the electroweak scale, in the range from MeV to tens of GeV. This window provides a great opportunity to test their appearance at current detectors, though when we contrast our results with some previous analysis concerning detection sensitivity at LHC, we conclude that further work is needed in order to validate this search.Comment: about 13 pages, no figure

KeV right-handed neutrinos from type II seesaw mechanism in a 3-3-1 model

We adapt the type II seesaw mechanism to the framework of the 3-3-1 model with right-handed neutrinos. We emphasize that the mechanism is capable of generating small masses for the left-handed and right-handed neutrinos and the structure of the model allows that both masses arise from the same Yukawa coupling. For typical values of the free parameters of the model we may obtain at least one right-handed neutrino with mass in the KeV range. Right-handed neutrino with mass in this range is a viable candidate for the warm component of the dark matter existent in the universe.Comment: About 10 pages, no figure
