The model naturally accounts for all the known lepton parameters and yields various interesting predictions for others: (i) Neutrinos are nearly degenerate, m_\\nu \\sim 0.1 eV; (ii) The solar neutrino problem is solved by the MSW small mixing angle solution; (iii) The MNS mixing angle theta_{13} is unobservably small, theta_{13} = O(10^{-5}).", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2001-01-11T10:05:46.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "flavor symmetry", "lepton masses", "spontaneously broken", "msw small mixing angle solution", "solar neutrino problem" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "IOP", "journal": "J.
