Abstract

The recent T2K, MINOS and Double Chooz oscillation data hint at a relatively large θ ₁₃, which can be accommodated by some general modification of the tribimaximal/bimaximal/democratic mixing matrices. Using such matrices we analyze several Majorana mass matrices with texture one-zero and show whether they satisfy the normal or the inverted mass hierarchy and are phenomenologically viable or not.
