Novel dependence between neutrino mass splittings strongly supported by initial JUNO results

Abstract

In the standard three-flavor paradigm, two of the three neutrino mass-squared differences are independent. The existence of an additional dependence between these oscillation parameters was recently predicted on empirical grounds, taking the form (√(Δm231)+√(Δm221))/(√(Δm231)−√(Δm221))=√2. The JUNO Collaboration has now reported the most precise measurements to date of both Δm221 and Δm231. We demonstrate that this relation is in excellent agreement with the experimental data, which yield 1.4143−0.0038+0.0036 corresponding to a relative precision of 0.27%. Remarkably, the central value differs by less than $0.03$ standard deviations from the prediction (√2≈1.4142). This provides strong experimental support for the novel constraint and thereby suggests an underlying symmetry governing the neutrino mass spectrum, rather than purely independent parameters.

AB  - In the standard three-flavor paradigm, two of the three neutrino mass-squared differences are independent. The existence of an additional dependence between these oscillation parameters was recently predicted on empirical grounds, taking the form (√(Δm^2_31)+√(Δm^2_21))/(√(Δm^2_31)−√(Δm^2_21))=√2. The JUNO Collaboration has now reported the most precise measurements to date of both Δm^2_21 and Δm^2_31. We demonstrate that this relation is in excellent agreement with the experimental data, which yield 1.4143_−0.0038^+0.0036 corresponding to a relative precision of 0.27%. Remarkably, the central value differs by less than $0.03$ standard deviations from the prediction (√2≈1.4142). This provides strong experimental support for the novel constraint and thereby suggests an underlying symmetry governing the neutrino mass spectrum, rather than purely independent parameters.
