Neutrinoless double-beta decay "lobster" plot

nulobster.py

'''Make the "lobster plot."

That is, the possible values of the Majorana mass given the mixing parameters
and assuming standard three-neutrino mixing, for the normal and inverted
mass hierarchy.

By the way, the current global best fit parameters from NuFit are:

    sin(t12)^2 = 0.304 +/- 0.012
    sin(t23)^2 = 0.451 +/- 0.002 (first quadrant)
    sin(t23)^2 = 0.576 +0.024 -0.037 (second quadrant)
    sin(t13)^2 = 0.021 +0.593 -0.560
        dm21sq = 7.53e-5 +/- 0.18e-5
        dm32sq = 2.44e-3 +/- 0.06e-3
