Naturally Small Seesaw Neutrino Mass with No New Physics Beyond the TeV Scale

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-31 v3

Abstract

If there is no new physics beyond the TeV energy scale, such as in a theory of large extra dimensions, the smallness of the seesaw neutrino mass, i.e. mν=mD2/mNm_\nu = m_D^2/m_N, cannot be explained by a very large mNm_N. In contrast to previous attempts to find an alternative mechanism for a small mνm_\nu, I show how a solution may be obtained in a simple extension of the Standard Model, without using any ingredient supplied by the large extra dimensions. It is also experimentally testable at future accelerators.
