Abstract

The weak CP voilation in leptonic sector is potentially one of the key aspect to probe the physics beyond the Standard Model (SM). This article majorly focus on the Dirac CP phase effect on the Jarlskog Deteminant in four flavor neutrino framework. The calculations for the upper and lower bound of the Jarlskog Determinant in 4×4 neutrino four flavor mixing matrix has also been performed.

Keywords: CP violaton, Jarlskog determinant, PMNS Matrix.

1 Introduction

The experimental detection of neutrino oscillation came from Ray Davis’s Homestake experiment and Y. Fukuda et al. [1]. Several other collaborations have neutrino oscillation data obtained from the teresstrial and non-teresstial experiments. In attempt to interpret the neutrino oscillation data obtained from the atmospheric, solar and LSND collabration experiments we have to incorporate the four neutrino of definite mass.

The three different scale of neutrino mass-squared differences msun2matm2mLSND2 obtained by different neutrino oscillation experiments and LSND collabration [2]. It indicates the possibility of four neutrinos with definite mass to explain these data. Super- Kamiokande Collaboration, Y. Fukuda et al. [1] experimental data was in good agreement with two flavor oscillation i.e.νμνϵ and provided evidence for neutrino oscillation. All these neutrino oscillation data could be consolidated by four neutrinos with definite mass by S.M. Bilenky et al. [3]. Thus four-neutrino models have been studied by earlier authors [15, 20, 21, 23]. The simultaneity in the oscillations of four different flavors of neutrinos demands an inclusion of a light sterile neutrino in the interpretation. The four neutrino mixing model are expected to violate the CP and T symmetry, the measurement of the violating factors require new generation very long baseline neutrino experiments. Some efforts are made in this directions suggest the possibilities to observe four neutrino oscillation. The better understanding of the nontrivial complex phases observed in 4×4 lepton flavor mixing matrix can be achieved by investigating the specific parameters involved between CP violating phases and flavor 4×4 lepton flavor mixing angle with rephrasing invariants of mixing matrix. Some attempts were made, but analytically correct result could not be achieved. The presence of 1-γ5 factors in Lagrangian indicates, parity violation is maximal in charged-current interactions. Similarly charge-conjugation invariance is maximally violated in mass mixing matrices [4]. CP violating nontrivial complex phases can be allocated in many different ways in 4×4 lepton flavor mixing matrix. Maximal CP violation mainly depends on CP violating phases and mixing angles. In our present article, we have calculated Jarlskog determinant for different sample of θx,θy and θz which are related with CP and T violating relative phases (δij).

2 Four Neutrino Mixing Angles and Their Mass Squared Differences

The defect in atmospheric neutrino which depends on zenith-angle, was first observed [5] via transition of νμνμ with Δ31=(1-2)×10-3eV2,sin22θ23=1.0 mass difference and the mixing respectively. For normal and inverted mass hierarchy, neutrino mass square difference from the three neutrino data analysis of the Super-Kamiokande [6] with 90% CL were observed 1.9×10-3eV2Δ312.6×10-3eV2 and 1.7×10-3eV2Δ312.7×10-3eV2, respectively. The another evidence was obtained from the solar neutrino deficit [7], which is consistent with νμντ/νe transition. The out came from the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory SNO experiments [8] are compatible with the standard solar model [1] and strongly suggest the LMA solution, which is given as Δ21=7×10-5eV2,sin22θ12=0.8. The others Solar neutrino experiments (Super-K, GALLEX, SAGE, SNO and GNO) show the neutrino oscillations, neutrino oscillation provide the most elegant explanation of all the data [9].

Δsolar=7-1.3+5×10-5eV2, (1)
tan2θsolar=0.4.-0.1+0.14 (2)

Whereas, the analysis of three neutrino global data came from the solar and KamLAND reactor was obtained [10] Δ21=7.5-.20+.19×10-3eV2 and tan2θ12=0.452-0.032+0.035, respectively. Neutrino oscillation is also shown by the atmospheric neutrino experiments ( Kamiokande, Super-K ) and the best fit to the all data [1] is Δatmo=2.0-0.92+1.0×10-3eV2, sin22θatmo=0.4-0.10+0.14. The upper bound on the third mixing angle θ13 was given by the CHOOZ reactor experiment [11] with the 90 % CL which was found as

sin2θ13 <0.20for|Δ31|=2.0×10-3eV2, (3)
sin2θ13 <0.16for|Δ31|=2.5×10-3eV2, (4)
sin2θ13 <0.14for|Δ31|=3.0×10-3eV2, (5)

The CP phase δ has not been constrained. The third mixing angle θ13 and associated mass difference from the two neutrino analysis of the MINOS data was obtained [12] sin2θ13<0.90 and |Δ31|=(2.43±0.13)×10-3eV2, respectively. The future neutrino experiments plan to measure the oscillation parameters precisely. The combined analysis of Day Bay, MINOS and Bugey-3 data [13] has excluded most of the parameter space of the mass squared difference Δ41=m42-m12 and the mixing angle sin2θ14 for the sterile neutrino, the latest global analysis of neutrino oscillation data indicates that a small region arround the best-fit value of [6]

Δ41=1.7eV2.andsin2θ14=0.019 (6)

3 Jarlskog in Four Flavor Neutrino

The sterile neutrino do not interact via weak interaction. For the flavor mixing of one sterile neutrino (νs) and three active neutrinos (νe,νμ,ντ), the matrix form of U [14, 15] can be written as

U=(Us1Us2Us3Us4Ue1Ue2Ue3Ue4Uμ1Uμ2Uμ3Uμ4Uτ1Uτ2Uτ3Uτ4), (7)

The Four dimension matrix U contains 6 mixing angles and 3 Dirac phase angles and 3 Majorana phase angle. The Jarlskog invariants of CP and T violation is given by:

JαβijIm(UαiUβjUαj*Uβi*) (8)

where, α,β=s,e,μ,τ and i=1,2,3,4.

Since U is unitary matrix. So we get,

Jαβii=Jααij=Jββij=Jαβjj=0 (9)

and

Jαβij=-Jαβji=Jβαij=-Jβαji (10)

Here we deal with four flavor framework by assuming that the sterile neutrino of eV range and the mixing of this sterile neutrino with three active neutrinos is light. By assuming one sterile neutrinos [23], the PMNS matrix U4×4 is given by

U=R34R24R14R23R13R12, (11)

where Rij are rotations matrix in ij space,

R12 =(c12s12e-iδ1200-s12eiδ12c120000100001)and
R34 =(1000010000c34s3400-s34c34),

where cij=cosθij,sij=sinθijeiδij.

In four flavour the standard form of U is

From Equations (9) and (10), we get nine independent Jαβij, the magnitudes of Jαβij depends on mixing angles and six CP-violating phases. The explicit form of nine jarlskog Jαβij are

We assume the values of 6 CP-violating phases δij are between 0 and 2π. Equations (12–20) are important to study the role of violation in T and CP within the framework of four-neutrino mixing. B. S. Koranga et al. [16, 18, 19, 22, 24] did some analysis on T and CP violation within three flavor framework for different parameterization and above GUT scale.

4 Results and Discussion

In numerical calculation, The active sterile neutrino mixing angle are θ14,θ24 and θ34. In this calculation, we consider following value for sterile neutrino mixing angles [17], θ14=3.6, θ24=4, θ34=18.5. We consider mixing angles θ13=10, θ23=45, θ12=34, θ34=18.5, θ24=4, θ14=3.6 [17]. The calculated values of Jarlskog determinant for different sample of θx,θy and θz are presented in Tables 1 and 2. These three θx,θy and θz angles are directly related with six Dirac CP phases which is associated with their mixing angles. On varying these three angles we obtained different values of nine Jarlskog determinant from which we took the maximum and the minimum value of Jarlskog determinant. The upper bound value of Jeμ23=0.04510635487051475 for θx=31,θy=28 and θz=90 and lower bound of Jse13=-0.039055825709320924 for θx=0,θy=0 and θz=90 are presented in Tables 1 and 2 respectively.

5 Conclusions

Jarlskog invariance plays a crucial role in developing a better understanding of flavors of neutrino. It has potency to tune the magnitude of CP and T violation in both quark and lepton sectors. In present article, we have calculated the upper and lower bound of Jarlskog Determinant in a four flavor framework. The upper bound and lower bound values of Jarlskog determinant is found out to be Jeμ23=0.04510635487051475 for θx=31,θy=28 and θz=90 and Jse13=-0.039055825709320924 for θx=0,θy=0 and θz=90 respectively. Since, these Jarlskog determinant appear in the imaginary part of the expression of oscillation probability amplitude [15, 25], hence it does not contribute to oscillation probability. Whereas it plays a crucial role when we deal with the leptonic sector CP and T violation. The contribution of Jarlskog determinant Jeμ23 and Jeμ13 in CP violation, found to be more significant among the others nine Jarlskog determinant.
