Stability of the Next-to-Tribimaximal Mixings under Radiative Corrections with the Variation of the SUSY Breaking Scale in MSSM by Kh. Helensana Devi, K. Sashikanta Singh, N. Nimai Singh

“…We analyze the radiative stability of the next-to-tribimaximal mixings (NTBM) with the variation of the SUSY breaking scale (mS) in MSSM, for both normal ordering (NO) and inverted ordering (IO) at the fixed input value of the seesaw scale MR=1015 GeV and two different values of tanβ. All the neutrino oscillation parameters receive varying radiative corrections irrespective of the mS values at the electroweak scale, which are all within the 3σ range of the latest global fit data at a low value of tanβ. …”
