We propose an extension of the supersymmetric standard model with right-handed neutrinos and a singlet Higgs field, and study the neutrino masses in this model. The Majorana masses for the right-handed neutrinos are generated around the…
Sterile neutrinos are a compelling candidate for generating neutrino masses and for elucidating the nature of dark matter. Astrophysical X-ray constraints on sterile neutrino dark matter decays, however, largely exclude the active-sterile…
Hybrid leptogenesis framework combining type I and type II seesaw mechanism for neutrino mass necessarily include scattering topologies involving both the scalar triplet and the right handed neutrino. We demonstrate that a systematic…
We consider various possibilities for generating neutrino masses in supersymmetric models with an additional U(1)' gauge symmetry. One class of models involves two extra U(1)' x U(1)'' gauge symmetries, with U(1)'' breaking at an…
Based on existing data, we argue for a peculiar structure of the neutrino mass matrix, that has a block of relatively large elements--a dominant block. We analyze this ansatz and extract its predictions, assuming that the O(1) coefficients…
In recently proposed framework of non-holomorphic modular symmetry introduces the concept of negative and zero modular weight of Yukawa couplings. These Yukawa couplings are function of complex modulus $\tau$, which is responsible for the…
Upper bounds on the CP asymmetry relevant for leptogenesis are reexamined and found weaker than in previous literature, both for hierarchical and for quasi-degenerate right-handed neutrinos. Successful leptogenesis implies the usual lower…
Experimental data have provided stringent constraints on neutrino mixing parameters. In the standard parameterization the mixing angle $\theta_{23}$ is close to $\pi/4$. There are also evidences show that the CP violating phase is close to…
We show how the neutrino mixing angles and oscillation phase can be predicted from tri-bimaximal neutrino mixing, corrected by charged lepton mixing angles which are related to quark mixing angles via quark-lepton unification. The…
We show that the neutrino mass generation and the dark matter stability can be governed by the center of the QCD group, which is a $Z_3$ group. Three right-handed neutrinos $N_{1,2,3R}$ transform under $Z_3$ as $1,w,w^2$, where…
In a recent paper, we showed that tree level up-down unification of fermion Yukawa couplings is a natural consequence of a large class of supersymmetric models. They can lead to viable quark masses and mixings for moderately large values of…
We introduce a method to extract the right-handed neutrino mass matrix from the Left-Right symmetric seesaw formula and apply it to the study of a simple SUSY SO(10) theory. We find 8 possible solutions for the heavy neutrino spectrum and a…
We investigate boosted displaced signatures in the Type-I seesaw mechanism associated with the $B-L$ gauge symmetry. Such events arise from decays of right-handed neutrinos depending on their Yukawa couplings and masses. Considering two…
We study a model where the Standard Model is augmented with three sterile neutrinos. By adopting a particular parameterization of a $(6\times6)$ unitary matrix - in this context, light neutrino masses being generated via a type-I seesaw…
The seesaw model of heavy and light Majorana neutrinos and its low-energy effective theory are studied, when the number of heavy neutrinos is equal to or less than the number of light lepton generations. We establish a general relationship…
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 study neutrino mass generation within the framework of non-holomorphic modular symmetry proposed by Qu and Ding. In this formalism, neutrino masses are generated via the Type-I seesaw mechanism, where the Yukawa couplings depend on…
We discuss a class of left-right symmetric models where the light neutrino masses originate dominantly from type I seesaw mechanism along with a sub-dominant type II seesaw contribution. The dominant type I seesaw gives rise to…
We study the possibility to test the Type I seesaw mechanism for neutrino masses at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The inclusion of three generations of right-handed neutrinos (N_i) provides an attractive option of gauging the B-L…
We investigate a resonant leptogenesis scenario by quasi-degenerate right-handed neutrinos which have TeV-scale masses. Especially, we consider the case when two right-handed neutrinos are responsible to leptogenesis and the seesaw…
