Small neutrino masses and gauge coupling unification

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2015-03-05 v2

Abstract

The physics responsible for gauge coupling unification may also induce small neutrino masses. We propose a novel gauge mediated radiative seesaw mechanism for calculable neutrino masses. These arise from quantum corrections mediated by new SU(3)c×SU(2)L×U(1)XSU(3)_c \times SU(2)_L \times U(1)_X (3-3-1) gauge bosons and the physics driving gauge coupling unification. Gauge couplings unify for a 3-3-1 scale in the TeV range, making the model directly testable at the LHC.
