5 Approximating Symmetry Evidence of µ τ Symmetry at Low Energy Two small deviations (2σ level): 7.8 < θ < 5.9, 0 < θ 13 < 10.9 with Best Fitted Value: θ = 2.0, θ 13 = 7.3. µ τ Symmetric Limit as Good 0th Order Approximation: θ 23 = 45, θ 13 = 0. corresponding to mass matrix with Zero Dirac CP Phase: A B B M ν (0) = C D C

7 Assignment Common µ τ & CP Soft Breaking Approximate µ τ symmetry at Zeroth-Order vanishing θ 13 & Dirac CP Phase δ D ; So, µ τ breaking should be Small and Simultaneously generates δ D µ τ & Dirac CP broken by a Common Origin. Natural and Simple, so Tempting, to expect a Common Origin for all CP Phases; Conjecture: µ τ & CP Symmetries are Softly broken from a Common Origin which is Uniquely determined as: ( ) ( 1 R M R = m 22 R 1 ζe iω R m ) 23 m 22 Note: µ τ & CP Recover with ζ 0.

8 Assignment The Consequence: Main Predictions δ a ( θ ) & δ x ( θ 13 ) Common Origin & Linear δ a δ x ; Once θ 23 well measured Predict θ 13! Dirac CP Phase δ D & Majorana CP Phases Common Origin Correlated; Once Dirac CP Phase δ D is measured J & M ee ; Vice Versa, Constrains from Leptogenesis. Normal Hierarchy with m 1 = 0. Fully reconstructed mass spectrum M ee ; Vice Versa.

9 Solving Low Energy Parameters Expanding Mass Matrix M ν Expanding the mass matrix M ν in terms of r & ζ up to Linear Order: M ν = M ν (0) + M ν (1) + O(r 2,rζ,ζ 2 ) M (0) ν = M (1) ν = with: (b c) (2 X)M 10 1 with an Overall Phase (No Physical Consequence) r (2 X) 2 a 2 (2 X)[(1 X)b + c]a (2 X)[b + (1 X)c]a (2 X) 2 [(1 X)b + c] 2 (1 X)(b + c) 2 + X 2 bc M 10 [b + (1 X)c] 2 eµ δm eτ (1) δm µµ (1) δm µτ (1) δm ττ (1) δm (1) ee δm (1) Reconstruction where r 1 R & X ζ r eiω and M 10 is the Zeroth-Order of the Lightest Eigenvalue of M R : M 10 = rm 22

18 Origin of Matter Origin of Matter: Baryon Asymmetry via Leptogenesis The Universe contains 4% Matter: η B = n B n B = (6.21 ± 0.16) n γ where n γ is Photon Number Density & n B is Baryon Number Density. Leptogenesis Mechanism generates η B from Lepton Asymmetry Y L via Sphaleron Interactions which violate B + L but preserve B L: η B = ξ f Nf B L = ξ f Nf L = 3ξ 4f κ fǫ f where ξ (8N F + 4N H )/(22N F + 13N H ) = 28/79 for SM, and f = N rec γ /N γ is the Dilution Factor. Efficiency Factor: ( ) 1.16 κ 1 m 1 f ev ev m 1 with m 1 ( m D m D) 11 /M 1 ( m D m D V R ).

26 Conjecture θ s Determined by m D As we have seen: 2a tanθ s = b + c which holds before and after soft breaking! Fully Determined by m D : a a m D = b c c b Not Affected by µ τ and CP symmetry breaking in M R! Protected or Accidental?

27 Conjecture New Hidden Symmetry Dictating θ 12 θ s is Solely determined by m D ; Soft symmetry breaking comes from M R, m D is not affect; If extra symmetry exists, it shouldn t be affected by soft breaking; It only applies on m D, not M R. Can be realized by: ν L T s ν L, T s m D = m D N N Also respected by light neutrino s mass matrix M ν : T T s M ν T s = M ν which is Independent of M R.

28 Representation Representation of the Hidden Symmetry Neutrino mass matrix Invariant under transformation: Diagonalization Scheme: T T s M νt s = M s V T M ν V = D ν The effect of transformation is just a Diagonal Rephasing: V T T T s M νt s V = d ν D ν d ν = d ν V T M ν Vd ν with d 2 ν = I 3 which constrains d ν = diag(±, ±, ±). General consequence: T s V = Vd ν T s = Vd ν V

29 Representation Representaion of the Hidden Symmetry Two Nontrivial Independent possibilities of d ν : d (1) ν = 1 1, d (2) 1 ν = Mixing matrix with θ s parameterized in terms of k: V(k) = k 2+k k k k 0 2 k 1 2(2+k 2 ) k 2(2+k 2 ) Two Independent symmetry transformations: T s = 1 2 k2 2k 2k 2k k 2 2, 2 + k 2 T µτ = 1 1 2k 2 k 2 1 T µτ is 3D Representation of µ τ symmetry. T (3) µτ

30 Summary Summary Oscillation Data strongly support µ τ symmetry as a Good Approximate Flavor Symmetry. The µ τ symmetry predicts (θ 23,θ 13 ) = (45,0 ) & Vanishing Dirac CP Phase. Conjecture: both µ τ and CP are Softly Broken by a Common Origin in M R. With this conceptually Simple and Attractive construction, θ 13 is Correlated with θ 23 (Lower Bound on δ x / Upper Bound on δ a ). Strong supports for up-coming experiments. Predictions on Baryon Asymmetry through leptogenesis. Constrain by leptogenesis scale: Lower Bound on θ 13. Extra Z 2 dictating solar mixing angle θ 12.
