Alternative Minimal U(1)$_{\rm B-L}$

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2021-02-03 v2

Abstract

We provide a minimal alternative gauged U(1)BL_{\rm B-L} model in which three right-handed neutrinos with charges of (5,-4,-4) and only one B-L Higgs field with charge 1 are introduced. Consistent active neutrino masses and mixings can be obtained if the Z2Z_2 symmetry on two of the right-handed neutrinos is introduced. It predicts two heavy degenerate right-handed neutrinos, which may realize resonant leptogenesis scenario, and one relatively light sterile neutrino, which is a good dark matter candidate.
