Neutrino mixing in a left-right model

Abstract

We study the mixing among different generations of massive neutrino fields in a $SU(2{)}_L\times SU(2{)}_R\times U(1{)}_Y$ gauge theory which includes Majorana and Dirac mass terms in the Yukawa sector. Parity can be spontaneously broken at a scale $v_R\simeq 10^3-10^4$ GeV. We discuss about possible candidates for the Yukawa coupling matrices and we found that the model can accommodate a consistent pattern for neutral fermion masses as well as neutrino oscillations. The left and right sectors can be connected by a new neutral current.
