Neutrinos and Flavour G.G.Ross, Coseners House, May 03 What is the origin of the Quark and lepton masses, mixing angles and CP violating phases? Family?

Family symmetries Hierarchical structure strongly suggests a broken symmetry MESSENGER SECTOR? FAMILY SYMMETRY? Froggatt, Nielsen

Asymmetric charge assignment : } Large mixing… maximal? Ramond et al, Jack, Jones, …..
10
Non-Abelian family symmetry Near Bi (-Tri) maximal mixing suggests Non-Abelian symmetry capable of relating Candidate group ? Numerous suggestions for the symmetries of C3, S3, A4… Harrison, Scott, Perkins Babu, Ma, Valle Wetterich… But can such structures be consistent with all quark and lepton masses? U(2), U(3)Various attempts : Barbieri et al, Chkareuli, Froggattt, Nielsen King, GGR….

SUMMARY The measurement of neutrino properties is testing our ideas about the origin of flavour and raises interesting questions : Is there a connection between quarks and leptons? GUT? Tests? Is there a family symmetry? Abelian? Non-Abelian? Origin of the hierarchy? Froggatt Nielsen? Radiative corrections? New spatial dimensions? Origin of CP violation? Spontaneous?
