Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this work, we have studied the neutrino model phenomenologically by focusing on the mass and the mixing angle of the sterile neutrino. The first result: we have built the neutrino model which can explain the active neutrino masses and the large mixing angles with the minimal number of parameters under the assumption of the existence of the sterile neutrino. This model gives us the accurate prediction of the mixing angle θ12, and so it is testable in the future neutrino experiments. The second result: we have found that the CP violation of the neutrinos can be predicted in terms of the violating pattern of the flavor symmetery. These results have been published in the one textbook and 20 papers. In addition, we have presented our results as the invited talk at the neutrino conference 2014(Boston, June, 2014).
