Almost Maximal Lepton Mixing with Large T Violation in Neutrino Oscillations and Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay

Abstract

We point out two simple but instructive possibilities to construct the charged lepton and neutrino mass matrices, from which the nearly bi-maximal neutrino mixing with large T violation can naturally emerge. The two lepton mixing scenarios are compatible very well with current experimental data on solar and atmospheric neutrino oscillations, and one of them may lead to an observable T-violating asymmetry between \nu_\mu --> \nu_e and \nu_e --> \nu_\mu transitions in the long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments. Their implications on the neutrinoless double beta decay are also discussed.
