Three-Flavor Analysis of Neutrino Mixing with and without Mass Hierarchy

Abstract

I summarize the results of barely model-dependent phenomenological analyses of the structure of the neutrino flavor mixing. The analyses are based on the three-flavor mixing framework without sterile neutrinos and utilize the hints from solar and atmospheric neutrino observations as well as that from mixed dark matter cosmology. It will be demonstrated that the features of the analysis is sharply distinguished by the two cases (I) with and (II) without dark matter mass scale, and by whether one (or two) mass is dominant (OMD) or the three states are almost degenerate (ADN). The global features of the neutrino mixing is illuminated for these different mass patterns.
