Abstract

A three-parameter model of neutrino oscillations based on a simple Lorentz- and CPT-violating texture is presented. The model is consistent with established data and naturally generates low-energy and neutrino–antineutrino anomalies of the MiniBooNE type. A one-parameter extension incorporates the MINOS anomaly, while a simple texture enhancement accommodates the LSND signal.

Highlights

  • A three-parameter model of neutrino oscillations based on a simple Lorentz- and CPT-violating texture is presented

  • Several experiments have adduced some evidence for anomalous neutrino oscillations that cannot be accommodated in the 3νSM

  • We focus on the possibility that Lorentz and CPT violation could be responsible for a substantial part of the existing oscillation data, including some or all of the anomalies

Summary

Introduction

A three-parameter model of neutrino oscillations based on a simple Lorentz- and CPT-violating texture is presented. In the usual extension of the SM to three flavors of massive neutrinos (3νSM), the 3 × 3 matrix governing oscillations involves two mass-squared differences, three mixing angles, and a CP-violating phase. We study a simple texture hνeff for the 3 × 3 matrix governing oscillations of three flavors of active left-handed neutrinos that involves isotropic Lorentz and CPT violation in a chosen frame.
