Group space scan of flavor symmetries for nearly tribimaximal lepton mixing

We present a systematic group space scan of discrete Abelian flavor symmetries for lepton mass models that produce nearly tribimaximal lepton mixing. In our models, small neutrino masses are generated by the type-I seesaw mechanism. The lepton mass matrices emerge from higher-dimension operators via the Froggatt-Nielson mechanism and are predicted as powers of a single expansion parameter epsilon that is of the order of the Cabibbo angle theta(C) similar or equal to 0.2. We focus on solutions that can give close to tribimaximal lepton mixing with a very small reactor angle theta(13) approximate to 0 and find several thousand explicit such models that provide an excellent fit to current neutrino data. The models are rather general in the sense that large leptonic mixings can come from the charged leptons and/or neutrinos. Moreover, in the neutrino sector, both left- and right-handed neutrinos can mix maximally. We also find a new relation theta(13) less than or similar to O(epsilon(3)) for the reactor angle and a new sum rule theta(23) approximate to pi/4 + epsilon/root 2 for the atmospheric angle, allowing the models to be tested in future neutrino oscillation experiments.
