Abstract

An effective texture is presented for six Majorana conventional neutrinos (three active and three sterile), based on a 6x6 neutrino mixing matrix whose 3x3 active-active component arises from the popular bimaximal mixing matrix of active neutrinos νe, νμ, ντ by three small rotations in the 14, 25, 36 planes of ν1, ν2, ν3 and ν4, ν5, ν6 neutrino mass states. The Dirac component (i.e. 3x3 active-sterile component) of the resulting 6x6 neutrino mass matrix is conjectured to get a structure similar to the charged lepton and quark 3x3 mass matrices, after the bimaximal mixing, specific for neutrinos, is transformed out unitarily from the neutrino mass matrix. The charged lepton and quark mass matrices are taken in a universal form constructed previously by the author with a considerable phenomenological success. Then, for the option of m21 m22 m23 m24 m25 m260, the proposed texture predicts oscillations of solar νe's with Δm2 solΔm221(1.1 to 1.2)×10-5 eV2, not inconsistent with the LMA solar solution, if the SuperKamiokande value Δm2 atmΔm232(3 to 3.5)×10-3 eV2 for oscillations of atmospheric νμ's is taken as an input.
