Description

We consider how, for quasi-degenerate neutrinos with tri-bi-maximal mixing at a high energy scale, the mixing angles are affected by radiative running from high to low-energy scales in a supersymmetric theory. The limits on the high energy scale that follow from consistency with the observed mixing are determined. We construct a model in which a non-Abelian discrete family symmetry leads both a quasi-degenerate neutrino mass spectrum and to near tri-bi-maximal mixing.
