Conclusion
• We studied a triplet Higgs model to generate Majorana neutrino masses and the mixing matrix in the frame-work of A_4 symmetry.
• The tribimaximal form of the neutrino mixing matrix can be naturally ob-tained.
• Only the normal mass hierarchy is al-lowed.
• There is a lower bound on the light-est neutrino mass : , although it is too small to be probed in the near future experiments.
• However, there is no lower limit in the effective mass parameter of neutrinoless double beta decay.
• Our model can explain the neutrino oscillation data without fine-tuning.
