Description

We study an energy-scale dependence of the lepton flavor-mixing matrix in the minimal supersymmetric standard model with the effective dimension-five operators, which give Majorana masses of neutrinos. We analyze the renormalization group equations of the coefficients (κij) of these effective operators under an approximation that neglects terms of order κ2. We find that only ng-1 (where ng is the generation number) real independent parameters in the lepton flavor-mixing matrix depend on the energy scale. In particular, all the phases in κ are scale-independent. (orig.)
