Neutrino are massless in the Standard Model. The most popular mechanism to generate neutrino masses are the type I and type II seesaw, where right-handed neutrinos and a scalar triplet are augmented to the Standard Model, respectively. In…
In an extension of the minimal supersymmetric standard model (popularly known as the $\mu\nu$SSM), three right handed neutrino superfields are introduced to solve the $\mu$-problem and to accommodate the non-vanishing neutrino masses and…
We study a neutrino mass model with $A_4$ discrete flavor symmetry using a type-I seesaw mechanism. The inclusion of extra flavons in our model leads to the deviations from exact tribimaximal mixing pattern resulting in a nonzero…
In the framework of the seesaw mechanism with three heavy right-handed Majorana neutrinos and no Higgs triplets we carry out a systematic study of the structure of the right-handed neutrino sector. Using the current low-energy neutrino data…
We present a extension of the 3-3-1 gauge model supplemented by an $A_4$ flavor symmetry and cyclic discrete symmetries, including $Z_2$, $Z_2'$, $Z_3$, $Z_4$, $Z_7$ and $Z_{10}$. The model successfully reproduces the observed SM fermion…
Knowledge of the mechanism of neutrino mass generation would help understand a lot more about Lepton Number Violation (LNV), the cosmological evolution of the Universe, or the evolu tion of astronomical objects. Here we propose a verifiable…
We explore the possibility of a single generation of $keV$ scale sterile neutrino ($m_S$) as a dark matter candidate within the minimal extended seesaw (MES) framework and it's influence in neutrinoless double beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$)…
In the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with bilinear R-parity violation, only one neutrino eigenstate acquires a mass at tree level, consequently experimental data on neutrinos cannot be accommodated at tree level. We show that in the…
We build a highly predictive 3-3-1 model, where the field content is extended by including several $SU(3)_{L}$ scalar singlets and six right handed Majorana neutrinos. In our model the $SU(3)_{C}\times SU\left( 3\right) _{L}\times U\left(…
We propose a hybrid scotogenic inverse seesaw framework in which the Majorana mass term is generated at the one-loop level through the inclusion of a singlet fermion. This singlet Majorana fermion also serves as a viable thermal relic dark…
Minimal SO(10) grand unified models provide phenomenological predictions for neutrino mass patterns and mixing. These are the outcome of the interplay of several features, namely: i) the seesaw mechanism; ii) the presence of an intermediate…
We consider theories where the Standard Model (SM) neutrinos acquire masses through the seesaw mechanism at the weak scale. We show that in such a scenario, the requirement that any pre-existing baryon asymmetry, regardless of its origin,…
A novel scenario is presented within the Type-I seesaw mechanism in which no other beyond Standard Model fields except three heavy right handed neutrinos, have been considered. Light neutrino masses around sub eV scale, could be possible at…
We consider the possibility of simultaneously addressing the baryon asymmetry of the Universe, the dark matter problem and the neutrino mass generation in minimal extensions of the Standard Model via sterile fermions with (small) total…
In this paper, we analyse resonant leptogenesis in a low scale inverse seesaw model with $A_4$ flavor symmetry, in a model we explored earlier to explain light neutrino masses and mixings, and also charged lepton flavor violating decay…
We propose a natural realization of inverse seesaw model with right-handed and flavor dependent $U(1)$ gauge symmetries, in which we formulate the neutrino mass matrix to reproduce current neutrino oscillation data in a general way. Also we…
We analyze the structure of quark and lepton mass matrices under the hypothesis that they are determined from a minimum principle applied to a generic potential invariant under the $\left[SU(3)\right]^5\otimes \mathcal O(3)$ flavor…
Motivated by effective low energy models of string origin, we discuss the neutrino masses and mixing within the context of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model supplemented by a U(1) anomalous family symmetry and additional Higgs…
The recently proposed "mini-seesaw mechanism" combines naturally suppressed Dirac and Majorana masses to achieve light Standard Model neutrinos via a low-scale seesaw. A key feature of this approach is the presence of multiple light (order…
In many extensions of the Standard Model, including a broad class of left-right symmetric and Grand Unified theories, the light neutrino mass matrix is given by the left-right symmetric seesaw formula $M_\nu = f v_L - \frac{v^2}{v_R} Y_\nu…
