abstract
We propose and discuss a new Littlest Seesaw model, realised in the tri-direct CP approach, in which the couplings of the two right-handed neutrinos to the lepton doublets are proportional to $(0,-1,1)$ and $(1,5/2,-1/2)$ respectively with the relative phase $\eta=-\pi/2$. This model can give an excellent description of lepton flavour mixing, including an atmospheric neutrino mixing angle in the second octant, in terms of only two input parameters. We show that the observed baryon asymmetry can be generated for the lightest right-handed neutrino mass $M_{1}=1.176\times 10^{11}$ GeV in SM and $M_{1}=3.992\times 10^{10}$ GeV in MSSM with $\tan\beta=5$. We construct an explicit Littlest Seesaw model based on the flavour symmetry $S_4\times Z_4\times Z_9$ in which the desired alignments and the phase $\eta=-\pi/2$ are achieved.

Upcoming neutrino experiments are projected to substantially reduce the number of viable leptonic flavor models in five popular classes by measuring mass ordering, theta_23 octant, delta_CP, and absolute mass scale.
