1 OVERVIEW OF NEUTRINO PHYSICS A.K.Ichikiawa, Kyoto University 1

2 Preamble or excuse oana/kangaenai/ I have been working on accelerator-based long baseline neutrino oscillation experiments and recently on R&D of double β-decay detector. theorist experimentalist This 40 opening talk by theorist in last two conferences. Next talk, accelerator-based neutrino. The latest results will come from each projects in this workshop What should I talk??? Why & Why? As a result, I will talk about subjects which I am unfamiliar in front of experts! Many mistakes, biases and Questions! Be patient! 2

3 Neutrino Oscillation and neutrinoless double beta decay = Physics of MASS 3

4 What we know mass of fermions- 4

5 As an experimentalist, I made a mass distribution plot. log distribution of elementary fermion mass Planck GUT? Higgs s, μ, c, τ, b u, d ν,ν (assuming m 0) t e 5

6 log-normal distribution Wikipedia, a continuous probability distribution of a random variable whose logarithm is normally distributed. A log-normal process is the statistical realization of the multiplicative product of many independent random variables, each of which is positive. example: annual incomes, reserve of oil fields People has n opportunities to multiply one s income. n follows normal distribution, but each time your income multiplicatively increase. 6

7 For example, I can imagin Universe expanded exponentially. If particle mass (Yukawa coupling) is inversely proportional to the space size, time fluctuation of mass determination results in lognormal distribution. 7

8 Planck 8 GUT? What is the origin of mass? mass by standard Higgs. log m =8.2 mass by? log m ~2 Higgs s, μ, c, τ, b u, d ν,ν (assuming m 0) t e

9 Minkowski,( 77), Yanagita( 79), GellMannn, Ramondo, Slansky( 79),Glashow( 79) Seesaw? If neutrino is Majorana-type, mass by? log m ~2 mass by standard Higgs. log m =8.2 0 mass term = N,N m m M N N diagonalize m M ν,ν (assuming m 0) u, d s, μ, c, τ, b Higgs M Planck GUT? Planck t e log M log GeV 9

10 Neutrino mass is suppressed by very high energy physics? mass by? log m ~2 mass by standard Higgs. log m =8.2 Planck GUT? N? Higgs s, μ, c, τ, b u, d ν,ν (assuming m 0) t e log M log GeV 10

12 Mixing between mass eigenstates up-type vs. down-type in quark charged vs. neutral in lepton quark U lepton U Q. about Yukawa coupling (~diagonal matrix) Did Fermions pick up similar quark lepton weight particles as partner? θ Or did partners pick up similar θ weight? θ S.
