Abstract

A newly developed rephasing invariant parametrization will be applied to the study of mass and mixing matrices for neutrinos and quarks. Using this parametrization for the neutrino mixing, we intend to start with the evolution of neutrino parameters in matter, and construct the combinations of observables from the future experiments as the discriminators for the unknown neutrino parameters in the matrices. In addition, we will study the RGE running of the neutrino mass and mixing matrices using the similar formulation of parameters. Furthermore, we will investigate the RGE evolution of the quark mass and mixing matrices following the similar rephasing invariant parametrization. In particular, the search for new RGE invariants will be emphasized. It is hoped that a better understanding of the parameters and the flavor structure under investigation could provide useful insight to the underlying physics at a more fundamental level.
