Determining the Neutrino Mass Eigenstates and the effective Majorana Mass

This paper aims at solving several open questions in current neutrino physics: the neutrino mass hierarchy, the Dirac CP-violating phase, the absolute mass of neutrinos, the nature of neutrinos (Dirac or Majorana), the Majorana matrix, and the absolute value of the effective Majorana neutrino mass. In the research presented in this paper, we have shown that the precise definition of the mass splittings between neutrino mass eigenstates, done in the latest analysis of experimental data, can be of crucial importance for defining the nature of neutrino mass hierarchy. The Standard Model has three generations of fundamental matter particles. Three generations of the charged lepton mass show a hierarchical structure. Owing to that, there is a belief and it is considered that neutrinos may follow such a hierarchical structure. In our calculations, we have also included the latest data obtained, based on the processing of measurement results, which showed that even with such data, obtained results favor the normal neutrino mass hierarchy. As for the individual neutrino mass calculated in this paper, in today's neutrino physics it is only known that the neutrino mass scale is bounded only from above, and both the Dirac and the Majorana character of neutrinos are compatible with all observations. Among some of the questions resolved in this paper, which are related to the properties of neutrinos, a positive answer was also given to the question of whether light neutrinos are self-conjugate particles or not.

Determining the Dirac CP violation phase and neutrino mass hierarchy

There is still a problem in neutrino physics related to the configuration of neutrino masses: Are neutrinos arranged by masses following the Standard Model as three generations of fundamental particles, Gen III>Gen II>Gen I, thus forming a structural-normal hierarchy, or deviate from that principle? The biggest obstacle that is still present is the sign of the absolute value of the difference of the square of neutrino masses. It was avoided by applying the theory of neutrino oscillation probability for each structure of the neutrino mass hierarchy. With such a theoretical approach the equation of motion was derived for each structure in which the Dirac CP violation phase appeared as an unknown quantity. This enables direct calculation of the explicit value for the Dirac CP violation phase. Two examples were analyzed: The first example is devoted to the normal mass ordering and the second one is devoted to the inverted mass ordering. The data used for theoretical calculations presented in this paper are obtained on the basis of the latest reassessed data by processing the results of experimental measurements. On the basis of the performed calculations, normal mass ordering is unconditionally excluded as a potential option regarding the neutrino mass ordering in nature. On the basis of the derived equation of neutrino motion, a possible numerical value of the Dirac CP violation phase and Jarlskog invariant is found.
