Rare Effects from High-Energies
• Effects of physics beyond the SM as effective operators
• Can be classified systematically (Weinberg)

Unique Role of Neutrino Mass
• Lowest order effect of physics at short distances
• Tiny effect (m/E)2~(eV/GeV)2=10–18!
• Interferometry (i.e., Michaelson-Morley)!– Need coherent source
– Need interference (i.e., large mixing angles)
– Need long baseline
Nature was kind to provide all of them!
• “neutrino interferometry” (a.k.a. neutrino oscillation) a unique tool to study physics at very high scales

Grand Unification
• electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces have very different strengths
• But their strengths become the same at 1016 GeV if supersymmetry
• A natural candidate energy scale ~1016GeV
m~0.003eV• m~(m2
atm)1/2~0.03eV• m~(m2
LMA)1/2~0.007eV
Neutrino mass may be probing unification:

Typical Theorists’ View ca. 1990
• Solar neutrino solution must be small angle MSW solution because it’s cute
• Natural scale for m223 ~ 10–100 eV2
because it is cosmologically interesting• Angle 23 must be of the order of Vcb
• Atmospheric neutrino anomaly must go away because it needs a large angle
Wrong!

Surprises
• Prejudice from quarks, charged leptons:– Mixing angles are small
– Masses are hierarchical
• In LMA, all mixing except Ue3 large
– Two mass splittings not very different
– Atmospheric mixing maximal
– Any new symmetry or structure behind it?€

Question of Flavor
• What distinguishes different generations?– Same gauge quantum numbers, yet different
• Hierarchy with small mixings:
Need some ordered structure
• Probably a hidden flavor quantum number
Need flavor symmetry– Flavor symmetry must allow top Yukawa
– Other Yukawas forbidden
– Small symmetry breaking generates small Yukawas
• Try to find underlying symmetries from data (bottom-up)– Repeat Heisenberg, Gell-Mann–Okubo

Lack of symmetry explains data
• Suppose there is no symmetry behind the neutrino masses and mixings (“anarchy”)
• Random 3 by 3 matrix• MNS matrix
distributed to the group invariant measure (Haba, HM)
Kolmogorov–Smirnov test(de Gouvêa, HM)

Critical Measurements
• sin2 223=1.000.01?– Determines a need for a new symmetry to enforce the
maximal mixing
• sin2 213<0.01?– Determines if the flavor quantum number of electron is
different from mu, tau
• Normal or inverted hierarchy?– Most symmetries predict the normal hierarchy
• CP Violation?– Plausibility test of leptogenesis

Dynamics behind flavor symmetry?
• Once flavor symmetry structure identified (e.g., Gell-Man–Okubo), what is dynamics? (e.g., QCD)
• Supersymmetry:–Anomalous U(1) gauge symmetry with Green-Schwarz mechanism
• Large Extra Dimensions:–Fat brane with physically separated left- and right-handed particles
• Technicolor:–New broken gauge symmetries at 100TeV scale

CPT Violation?“A desperate remedy…”
• LSND evidence:anti-neutrinos
• Solar evidence:neutrinos
• If neutrinos and anti-neutrinos have different mass spectra, atmospheric, solar, LSND accommodated without a sterile neutrino
(HM, Yanagida)
Best fit to data < 2002(Strumia)

KamLAND impact
• However, now there is an evidence for “solar” oscillation in anti-neutrinos from KamLAND
• Barenboim, Borissov, Lykken: evidence for atmospheric neutrino oscillation is dominantly for neutrinos. Anti-neutrinos suppressed by a factor of 3.
• New CPT violation:

CPT Theorem
• Based on three assumptions:– Locality– Lorentz invariance– Hermiticity of Hamiltonian
• Violation of any one of them: big impact on fundamental physics
• Neutrino mass: tiny effect from high-scale physics– Non-local Hamiltonian? (HM, Yanagida)
– Brane world? (Barenboim, Borissov, Lykken, Smirnov)
– Homeotic theory? (Barenboim, Lykken)

Conclusion
• Still a lot to learn from neutrino oscillation– 23, 13, normal or inverted hierarchy, CP violation
• Determine the underlying symmetry behind flavor (masses and mixing)
• In conjunction with data from energy frontier, we hope to understand dynamics behind the flavor symmetry
• Maybe even more surprises– CPT violation? Sterile neutrinos?
