Neutrino mixing with nonzero θ13 and CP violation in the 3-3-1 model based on A4 flavor symmetry

Abstract

We propose a 3-3-1 model with neutral fermions based on [Formula: see text] flavor symmetry responsible for fermion masses and mixings with nonzero [Formula: see text]. To get realistic neutrino mixing, we just add a new [Formula: see text] triplet being in [Formula: see text] under [Formula: see text]. The neutrinos get small masses from two [Formula: see text] antisextets and one [Formula: see text] triplet. The model can fit the present data on neutrino masses and mixing as well as the effective mass governing neutrinoless double beta decay. Our results show that the neutrino masses are naturally small and a little deviation from the tri-bimaximal neutrino mixing form can be realized. The Dirac CP violation phase [Formula: see text] is predicted to either [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text].
