Linear seesaw mechanism from dark sector

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2023-09-12 v3

Abstract

We propose a minimal model where a dark sector seeds neutrino mass generation radiatively within the linear seesaw mechanism. Neutrino masses are calculable, since tree-level contributions are forbidden by symmetry. They arise from spontaneous lepton number violation by a small Higgs triplet vacuum expectation value. Lepton flavour violating processes e.g. μeγ\mu \to e\gamma can be sizeable, despite the tiny neutrino masses. We comment also on dark-matter and collider implications.
