Large Mixing Angle MSW Solution in S_3 Flavor Symmetry

Abstract

We have investigated phenomenological implications on the neutrino flavor mixings in the $S_{3L}\times S_{3R}$ symmetric mass matrices including symmetry breaking terms. We have shown how to get the large mixing angle MSW solution, $\sin^2 2 þ_\odot=0.65\sim 0.97$ and $Δm_{\odot}^2= 10^{-5}\sim 10^{-4}\eV^2$, in this model. It is found that the structure of the lepton mass matrix in our model is stable against radiative corrections although the model leads to nearly degenerate neutrinos.
