We discuss phenomenology in a new TeV scale model which would explain neutrino oscillation, dark matter, and baryon asymmetry of the Universe simultaneously by the dynamics of the extended Higgs sector and TeV-scale right-handed neutrinos.…
We study a two loop induced seesaw model with global $U(1)_{B-L}$ symmetry, in which we consider two component dark matter particles. The dark matter properties are investigated together with some phenomenological constraints such as…
The Standard Model electroweak vacuum has been found to be metastable, with the true stable vacuum given by a large, phenomenologically unacceptable vacuum expectation value $\approx M_{P}$. Moreover, it may be unstable in an inflationary…
We propose an extension of the standard model with a B-L global symmetry that is broken softly at the TeV scale. The neutrinos acquire masses through a type-II seesaw while the lepton (L) asymmetry arises in the {\it singlet sector} but…
We study the possibility of right-handed neutrino dark matter (DM) in gauged $U(1)_{B-L} \times Z_2$ extension of the standard model augmented by an additional scalar doublet, being odd under the $Z_2$ symmetry, to give rise the scotogenic…
We show that dark matter could be made of massive gauge bosons whose stability doesn't require to impose by hand any discrete or global symmetry. Stability of gauge bosons can be guaranteed by the custodial symmetry associated to the gauge…
We find a dark gauge symmetry $U(1)_D$ that transforms nontrivially only for three right-handed neutrinos, $\nu_{1,2,3R}$. The anomaly cancellation demands that they have a dark charge $D=0,-1,+1$ assigned to $\nu_{1,2,3R}$, respectively.…
In the context of the type-I seesaw mechanism, it is known that $\theta_{13}$ is zero and leptogenesis can not be realized if there exists a residual flavor symmetry resulting in the Tri-Bimaximal neutrino mixing pattern. We propose a…
We present a simple model of dark matter that can address astrophysical and cosmological puzzles across a wide range of scales. The model is an application of the Secretly Asymmetric Dark Matter mechanism, where several flavors of dark…
We calculate the relic density of the lightest neutralino in a supersymmetric seesaw type-II (``triplet seesaw'') model with minimal supergravity boundary conditions at the GUT scale. The presence of a triplet below the GUT scale, required…
We explore the neutrino sector of the minimal left-right symmetric model, with the additional charge conjugation discrete symmetry, in the tuned regime where type-I and type-II seesaw mechanisms are equally responsible for the light…
We propose a minimal model for the cosmic coincidence problem $\Omega_{\rm DM}/\Omega_B \sim 5$ and neutrino mass in a type-II seesaw scenario. We extend the standard model of particle physics with a $\rm SU(2)$ singlet leptonic Dirac…
We present a Froggatt-Nielsen flavor model that yields a minimal realization of the type-I seesaw mechanism. This seesaw model is minimal for three reasons: (i) It features only two rather than three right-handed sterile neutrinos: N_1 and…
The origin of neutrino masses and the nature of dark matter are two of the most pressing open questions of the modern astro-particle physics. We consider here the possibility that these two problems are related, and review some theoretical…
We propose a new realisation of light Dirac neutrino mass and dark matter (DM) within the framework of a non-Abelian discrete flavour symmetry based on $A_4$ group. In addition to $A_4$, we also consider a $Z_2$ and an unbroken global…
A solution to the problem of the origin of matter in the universe can be reasonably searched within extensions of the standard model that also explain neutrino masses and mixing. Models embedding the minimal seesaw mechanism can explain the…
A dense neutrino gas exhibiting angular crossings in the electron lepton number is unstable and develops fast flavor conversions. Instead of assuming an unstable configuration from the onset, we imagine that the system is externally driven…
In this paper, we incorporate the modular $S^{}_4$ flavor symmetry into the supersymmetric version of the minimal type-I seesaw model, in which only two right-handed neutrino singlets are introduced to account for tiny Majorana neutrino…
We explore a simple but extremely predictive extension of the scotogenic model. We promote the scotogenic symmetry $\mathbb{Z}_2$ to the flavour non-Abelian symmetry $\Sigma(81)$, which can also automatically protect dark matter stability.…
The B-L extension of the Standard Model requires the existence of right-handed neutrinos and naturally realizes the seesaw mechanism of neutrino mass generation. We study the possibility of explaining the dark matter in this model with an…
