Abstract

We study the new physics contributions to neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ0\nu\beta\beta) in a TeV scale left-right model with spontaneous D-parity breaking mechanism where the values of the SU(2)LSU(2)_L and SU(2)RSU(2)_R gauge couplings, gLg_L and gRg_R are unequal. Neutrino mass is generated in the model via gauge extended inverse seesaw mechanism. We embed the model in a non-supersymmetric SO(10)SO(10) GUT with a purpose of quantifying the results due to the condition gLgRg_{L} \neq g_{R}. We compare the predicted numerical values of half life of 0νββ0\nu\beta\beta decay, effective Majorana mass parameter and other lepton number violating parameters for three different cases; (i) for manifest left-right symmetric model (gL=gRg_L = g_R), (ii) for left-right model with spontaneous D parity breaking (gLgRg_L \neq g_R), (iii) for Pati-Salam symmetry with D parity breaking (gLgRg_L \neq g_R). We show how different contributions to 0νββ0\nu\beta\beta decay are suppressed or enhanced depending upon the values of the ratio gRgL\frac{g_R}{g_L} that are predicted from successful gauge coupling unification.
