Majorana CP violating phases coming from heavy right-handed Majorana mass matrices ($M_{RR}$) are considered to estimate the masses of neutrinos.The effects of phases on quasi-degenerate neutrinos mass matrix obeying $mu$-$tau$ symmetry predicts the results consistent with observations for (i) solar mixing angle($theta_{12}$) below TBM, (ii) absolute neutrino mass parameters[$m_{ee}$] in neutrinoless double beta ($0 ubetabeta$) decay, and (iii) cosmological upper bound $sum_{i}m_{i}$. Analysis is carried out through parameterization of light left-handed Majorana neutrino matrices $(m_{LL})$ using only two unknown parameters $(epsilon,eta)$ within $mu$-$tau$ symmetry. We consider the charge lepton and up quark matrices as diagonal form of Dirac neutrino mass matrix $(m_{LR})$, and $m_{RR}$ are genrated using $m_{LL}$ through inversion of Type-I seesaw formula. The analysis shows that the masses of neutrinos are in agreement with the upper bound from cosmology and neutrinoless double beta decay. The results presented in this article will have important implications in discriminating the neutrinos mass models.

The texture zero mass matrices for the leptons and the seesaw mechanism are used to derive relations between the matrix elements of the lepton mixing matrix and the ratios of the neutrino masses.
We propose two new simple lepton flavor models in the framework of the $S_4$ flavor symmetry. The neutrino mass matrices, which are given by two complex parameters, lead to the inverted mass hierarchy. The charged lepton mass matrix has the 1-2 lepton flavor mixing, which gives the non-vanishing reactor angle $theta_{13}$. These models predict the Dirac phase and the Majorana phases, which are testable in the future experiments. The predicted magnitudes of the effective neutrino mass for the neutrino-less double beta decay are in the regions as $32~text{meV}lesssim |m_{ee}|lesssim 49~text{meV}$ and $34~text{meV}lesssim |m_{ee}|lesssim 59~text{meV}$, respectively. These values are close to the expected reaches of the coming experiments. The total sum of the neutrino masses are predicted in both models as $0.0952~text{eV}lesssim sum m_ilesssim 0.101~text{eV}$ and $0.150~text{eV}lesssim sum m_ilesssim 0.160~text{eV}$, respectively.
We investigate effects of non-zero Dirac and Majorana CP violating phases on neutrino-antineutrino oscillations in a magnetic field of astrophysical environments. It is shown that in the presence of strong magnetic fields and dense matter, non-zero CP phases can induce new resonances in the oscillations channels $ u_e leftrightarrow bar{ u}_e$, $ u_e leftrightarrow bar{ u}_mu$ and $ u_e leftrightarrow bar{ u}_{tau}$. We also consider all other possible oscillation channels with $ u_mu$ and $ u_tau$ in the initial state. The resonances can potentially lead to significant phenomena in neutrino oscillations accessible for observation in experiments. In particular, we show that neutrino-antineutrino oscillations combined with Majorana-type CP violation can affect the $bar{ u}_e$/$ u_e$ ratio for neutrinos coming from the supernovae explosion. This effect is more prominent for the normal neutrino mass ordering. The detection of supernovae neutrino fluxes in the future experiments, such as JUNO, DUNE and Hyper-Kamiokande, can give an insight into the nature of CP violation and, consequently, provides a tool for distinguishing the Dirac or Majorana nature of neutrinos.
We propose a new strategy for detecting the CP-violating phases and the effective mass of muon Majorana neutrinos by measuring observables associated with neutrino-antineutrino oscillations in $pi^{pm}$ decays. Within the generic framework of quantum field theory, we compute the non-factorizable probability for producing a pair of same-charged muons in $pi^{pm}$ decays as a distinctive signature of $ u_{mu}-bar{ u_{mu}}$ oscillations. We show that an intense neutrino beam through a long baseline experiment is favored for probing the Majorana phases. Using the neutrino-antineutrino oscillation probability reported by MINOS collaboration, a new stringent bound on the effective muon-neutrino mass is derived.
We discuss the rare decay of the top quark into a pair of same charge leptons (with identical or different flavors), a b quark and a (real or virtual) W-. The above process proceeds only if the exchanged neutrino N is of the Majorana type. This decay is the neutrinoless double b decay of the top. We find measurable values for its rate at the LHC with luminosity of 100 inverse fb. Furthermore, we consider an interaction of charged Higgs bosons with N which leads to lepton number violating processes such as pp to l+ N to l+ l+ H-, exhibiting spectacular events of the type: l+ l+ b b(bar) + 2 jets.
