Abstract

The singlet majoron model of seesaw neutrino mass is appended by one dark Majorana fermion singlet χ\chi with L=2L=2 and one dark complex scalar singlet ζ\zeta with L=1L=1. This simple setup allows χ\chi to obtain a small radiative mass anchored by the same heavy right-handed neutrinos, whereas the one-loop decay of the standard-model Higgs boson to χχ+χˉχˉ\chi \chi + \bar{\chi} \bar{\chi} provides the freeze-in mechanism for χ\chi to be the light dark matter of the Universe.
