| Summary: | In this letter, we perform an almost general analysis of flavor-mixing matrices VCKM and UMNS to investigate the discriminative power of CP phases by next-generation neutrino oscillation experiments. As an approximation, we neglect the 1-3 mixing of diagonalization for more hierarchical fermions u,e. Thus there are two sources of CP violation in VCKM and UMNS, the intrinsic CP phase δd,ν in diagonalization of less hierarchical fermions d,ν and relative phases between two unitary matrices. By eliminating unphysical phases and imposing constraints of the three measured mixing angles, the flavor-mixing matrices are analytically displayed by two phases and the 1-2 mixing su,e of more hierarchical fermions. For sufficiently small 1-2 mixing se of charged leptons, the Dirac phase δ is mostly identical to the intrinsic phase of neutrinos δν. Therefore, future detection of the Dirac phase indicates the observation of δν. On the other hand, if such a CP violation is not observed, an upper limit is placed on a combination of δν and relative phases. |
