We present and explore the Higgs physics of a model that in addition to the Standard Model fields includes a lepton number violating singlet scalar field. Based on the fact that the only experimental data we have so far for physics beyond…
An attempt is made to generate the bimaximal mixings of the three species of neutrinos from the textures of the right-handed Majorana neutrino mass matrices. We extend our earlier work in this paper for the generation of the nearly…
Neutrinoless double-beta decay is a predicted beyond Standard Model process that could clarify some of the not yet known neutrino properties, such as the mass scale, the mass hierarchy, and its nature as a Dirac or Majorana fermion. Should…
Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$) is presently the only known experiment to distinguisch between Dirac neutrinos, different from their antiparticles, and Majorana neutrinos, identical with their antiparticles. In addition…
The asymmetric Higgs sector of one $SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R$ bidoublet $(\phi_1^0,\phi_1^-;\phi_2^+,\phi_2^0)$ and one $SU(2)_R$ doublet [but no $SU(2)_L$ doublet] is considered in a nonsupersymmetric left-right extension of the standard…
Neutrinoless double beta ($0\nu\beta\beta$) decay can in general produce electrons of either chirality, in contrast with the minimal Standard Model (SM) extension with only the addition of the Weinberg operator, which predicts two…
New models have recently been proposed in which a second Higgs doublet couples only to the lepton doublets and right-handed neutrinos, yielding Dirac neutrino masses. The vacuum value of this second "nu-Higgs" doublet is made very small by…
I review the subject of double beta decay with emphasis upon its implications for the neutrino. It is shown that even if right-handed currents provide the phenomenological mechanism for no-neutrino decay, the fundamental mechanism…
The connection between the neutrinoless double beta ((\beta\beta)_{0 \nu}-) decay effective Majorana mass, |M_{ee}|, and the branching ratios of the decays H^{\pm\pm}\to l^\pm {l'}^\pm, l,{l'}= e,\mu, of the doubly charged Higgs boson…
Heavy right-handed neutrinos are highly motivated due to their connection with the origin of neutrino masses via the seesaw mechanism. If the right-handed neutrino Majorana mass is at or below the weak scale, direct experimental discovery…
We show that in minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) with R-parity breaking as well as in the left-right symmetric model, there are new observable contributions to neutrinoless double beta decay arising from hitherto overlooked…
Unlike the standard model where neutrino masses can be made arbitrarily small, we find in the minimal left-right symmetric model that Dirac type Yukawa coupling $h_D \sim 10^{-4.2}$ for $\nu_\tau$ is generated from charged fermion Yukawa…
We examine neutrino oscillations in a two Higgs doublet model (2HDM) in which the second doublet couples only to the third generation right-handed up-fermions, i.e., to t_R and to N_3 which is the heaviest right-handed Majorana neutrino.…
We propose an extension of the Standard Model by extending the EW symmetry to SU(2)_L x U(1) x Z_2 and introducing three SU(2)_L x U(1) singlet right handed neutrinos, N_R, and an additional Higgs doublet, phi. While the SM gauge bosons and…
We examine the implications of the hypothesis that the decays of the b-quark occur via pure right-handed couplings. We show that the existing lower limits on neutrinoless double beta decay imply that any gauge model realizing this idea must…
We revisit scalar emissions in double beta decays of nuclei, often discussed in the context of Majoron models, in light of the latest developments on the study of neutrinoless double beta decay amplitudes from an effective field theory…
In the context of the minimal left-right symmetric model, we study the interplay between current and future neutrinoless double beta ($0\nu\beta\beta$) decay experiments, long-lived particle searches at the LHC main detectors ATLAS/CMS, and…
Unified theories containing a $U(1)_{B-L}$ gauge symmetry predict heavy Majorana right-handed neutrinos. In such theories, cosmic strings may form at the $B-L$ breaking scale. If the Higgs field forming the strings is also the Higgs field…
We discuss the systematic decomposition of the dimension nine neutrinoless double beta decay operator, focusing on mechanisms with potentially small contributions to neutrino mass, while being accessible at the LHC. We first provide a (d=9…
We consider an extension of the Standard Model by two right-handed neutrinos, especially with masses lighter than charged $K$ meson. This simple model can realize the seesaw mechanism for neutrino masses and also the baryogenesis by flavor…
