Structures of Neutrino Flavor Mixing Matrix and Neutrino Oscillations at CHORUS and NOMAD

Abstract

We have studied structures of the neutrino flavor mixing matrix focusing on the neutrino oscillations at CHORUS and NOMAD as well as the one at LSND(or KARMEN). We have assumed two typical neutrino mass hierarchies $m_3\simeq m_2\gg m_1$ and $m_3\gg m_2\gg m_1({\rm or}\simeq m_1)$. Taking into account the see-saw mechanism of neutrino masses, the reasonable neutrino flavor mixing patterns have been discussed. The observation of the neutrino oscillation at CHORUS and NOMAD presents us the important constraint for the structure of the neutrino flavor mixing matrix. The atomospheric neutrino anomaly has been discussed in relation to the CHORUS and NOMAD experiments.
