The see-saw mechanism is usually applied to explain the lightness of neutrinos. The traditional see-saw mechanism introduces at least two right-handed neutrinos for the realistic neutrino spectrum. In the case of supersymmetry, loop…
We adapt the type II seesaw mechanism to the framework of the 3-3-1 model with right-handed neutrinos. We emphasize that the mechanism is capable of generating small masses for the left-handed and right-handed neutrinos and the structure of…
We consider a version of the low-scale type I seesaw mechanism for generating small neutrino masses, as an alternative to the standard seesaw scenario. It involves two right-handed (RH) neutrinos $\nu_{1R}$ and $\nu_{2R}$ having a Majorana…
Charged lepton flavour violation is reappraised in the context of supersymmetric see-saw mechanism. It is pointed out that a non-trivial flavour structure of right-handed neutrinos, whose effect has been thus far less studied, can give rise…
Extending the Standard Model with right-handed neutrinos provides a minimal explanation for both light neutrino masses (through the type-I seesaw mechanism) and the baryon asymmetry of our universe (through leptogenesis). We map here for…
We propose a low energy extension of the Standard Model consisting of an additional gauged $U(1)_{B-L}$ plus three right-handed neutrinos. The lightest right-handed neutrinos have TeV scale masses and may be produced at colliders via their…
In the minimal supersymmetric standard model extended by including right-handed neutrinos with see-saw mechanism, the neutrino Yukaka couplings can be as large as the top-quark Yukawa couplings and thus the neutrino/sneutrino may cause…
The observation of neutrino oscillations requires new physics beyond the standard model (SM). A SM-like gauge theory with p lepton families can be extended by introducing q heavy right-handed Majorana neutrinos but preserving its SU(2)_L x…
In the Standard Model, Yukawa couplings parametrize the fermion masses and mixing angles with the exception of neutrino masses. The hierarchies and apparent regularities among the quark and lepton masses are, however, otherwise a mystery.…
If neutrino masses are realized through the see-saw mechanism, can the right-handed neutrinos be produced and detected at present and future colliders? The answer is negative in the most popular see-saw scenarios for the simple reason that…
We derive bounds on the Dirac Yukawa couplings of the neutrinos in seesaw models using the recent Large Hadron Collider (LHC) data on Higgs decays for the case where the Standard Model singlet heavy leptons needed for the seesaw mechanism…
Any new neutrino physics at the TeV scale must include a suppression mechanism to keep its contribution to light neutrino masses small enough. We review some seesaw model examples with weakly broken lepton number, and comment on the…
In the framework of SO(10) gauge unification and the seesaw mechanism, we show that the upper bound on the mass of the heaviest right-handed neutrino $M_{R_3} < 3 \times 10^{11}$ GeV, given by the Pati-Salam intermediate scale of $B-L$…
We consider the minimal seesaw model, the Standard Model extended by two right-handed neutrinos, for explaining the neutrino masses and mixing angles measured in oscillation experiments. When one of right-handed neutrinos is lighter than…
Heavy neutrinos with masses below the electroweak scale can simultaneously generate the light neutrino masses via the seesaw mechanism and the baryon asymmetry of the universe via leptogenesis. The requirement to explain these phenomena…
Within type-I seesaw mechanism it is possible to have large (order one) light-heavy neutrino mixing even in case of low right-handed neutrino mass scale (of the order of GeV). This implies large lepton flavor violation. As example we…
We suggest a hybrid seesaw model where relatively ``light''right-handed neutrinos give no contribution to the neutrino mass matrix due to a special symmetry. This allows their Yukawa couplings to the standard model particles to be…
The existence of the tiny neutrino mass and the flavor mixing can be naturally explained by type-I Seesaw model which is probably the simplest extension of the Standard Model (SM) using Majorana type SM gauge singlet heavy Right Handed…
We analyze a scenario where the right-handed neutrinos make part of a strongly coupled conformal field theory and acquire an anomalous dimension \gamma<1 at a large scale \Lambda. Their Yukawa couplings to the Higgs become irrelevant at the…
Neutrinos stand out among elementary particles through their unusually small masses. Various seesaw mechanisms attempt to explain this fact. In this work applying insights from matrix theory we are in a position to treat variants of seesaw…
