Zero Neutrino Mass Scale in Semi-Empirical Phenomenology

800x600 Zero Neutrino Mass Scale in Semi-Empirical Phenomenology       There are definite empirical hints on special kind of neutrino masses. 1) Ratio of neutrino masses to the lightest particle electron mass is very small m-nu/m-e = ~10-6. Hence it seems ...
