Neutrino Masses and Bimaximal Mixing

Abstract
Solar and atmospheric neutrino anomalies are described by bimaximal mixing of three neutrinos. Neutrino oscillations in appearance nu_e <--> nu_mu,nu_tau and in disappearance nu_e long baseline and atmospheric experiments are sensitive to deviations from the ideal bimaximal mixing. It is suggested that these deviations may be dominated by a rotation in the electron--muon plane of the generation space. Simple seesaw models are described supporting this idea. The rotation angle is estimated from Fritzsch's relation. Predictions are presented for oscillations in long baseline experiments, for solar neutrinos, and for the rates of neutrinoless double beta decays.
