Neutrino mass model with a modular $S_4$ symmetry

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2021-12-15 v4

Abstract

We propose a predictive lepton model under a modular S4S_4 symmetry, where the neutrino mass matrix arises from a radiative seesaw at one-loop level. The tree-level mass matrix is forbidden by well-assigned modular weights, which also play an important role in stabilizing dark matter candidate due to a remnant Z2Z_2 symmetry even after breaking the modular symmetry. Supposing three families of the Majorana neutrinos, right-handed charged-leptons and left-handed charged-leptons to be embedded respectively into singlet, doublet, and triplet under S4S_4, we obtain the predictive mass matrices in the normal hierarchy. Then, we show our numerical results such as phases, mixings, and neutrino masses, applying χ2\chi^2 analysis. We also demonstrate two sample points, imposing on minimizing χ2\chi^2 and best fit value of δCP\delta_{CP}^\ell of 195195^\circ.
