Natural Mass Generation for the Sterile Neutrino

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-31 v2

Abstract

We point out that there is a serious cosmological problem in the supersymmetric standard model if a sterile neutrino is responsible for the solar neutrino oscillation, and propose a possible solution to this problem. We show that our solution induces naturally a mass of order 10^{-4} eV for the sterile neutrino, which is deeply related to the mechanism of supersymmetry breaking.
