Stringent constraints from the dark matter (DM) direct detection experiments can be naturally evaded for a pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson (pNGB) DM. We propose a realization of pNGB DM in the context of a left-right symmetric model, wherein…

We study neutrino and dark matter based on a gauged $U(1)_R$ symmetry in a framework of radiative seesaw scenario. Identifying dark matter as a bosoninc particle, it interacts with quark and lepton sectors through vector-like heavier quark…
Although the seesaw mechanism is a natural explanation for the small neutrino masses, there are cases when the Majorana mass terms for the right-handed neutrinos are not allowed due to symmetry. In that case, if neutrino-specific Higgs…
In 2006, a simple extension of the Standard Model was proposed in which neutrinos obtain radiative Majorana masses at one-loop level from their couplings with dark matter, hence the term "scotogenic," from the Greek "scotos" meaning…
The standard model of quarks and leptons is extended to include the gauge symmetry $U(1)_\chi$ which comes from $SO(10) \to SU(5) \times U(1)_\chi$. The radiative generation of Dirac neutrino masses through dark matter is discussed in two…
We propose a scheme in which a pseudo-Dirac structure for three family of light neutrinos is generated naturally. An extended Higgs sector with a majoron is used for the generation of the leptonic number violating neutrino Majorana mass.…
We study the possibility of generating tiny Dirac masses of neutrinos in Left-Right Symmetric Model (LRSM) without requiring the existence of any additional symmetries. The charged fermions acquire masses through a universal seesaw…

In this article, we investigate the phenomenological aspects of a feebly interacting sterile neutrino dark matter candidate within a low-scale seesaw framework. The Type-I seesaw model is augmented by a second complex scalar doublet…
In the axionic solution of the strong CP problem, fermions which transform under quantum chromodynamics (QCD) are required. In supersymmetry, by equating U(1)_{PQ} with U(1)_R, the natural candidates are the gluinos, as pointed out some…
We study the possibility of generating tiny neutrino mass through a combination of type I and type II seesaw mechanism within the framework of an abelian extension of standard model. The model also provides a naturally stable dark matter…
We propose a KSVZ-type axion framework in which vector-like quarks (VLQ) and colored scalars generate Dirac neutrino masses radiatively. The global Peccei-Quinn symmetry (under which the exotic fermions are charged) addresses the strong CP…
Neutrinos may be Dirac particles whose masses arise radiatively at one-loop, naturally explaining their small values. In this work we show that all the one-loop realizations of the dimension-five operator to effectively generate Dirac…
Probing the origin of neutrino mass by disentangling the seesaw mechanism is one of the central issues of particle physics. We address it in the minimal left-right symmetric model and show how the knowledge of light and heavy neutrino…
A solution for the neutrino mass and mixing pattern is proposed which is compatible with all available experimental data on neutrino oscillations. This solution involves Majorana neutrinos of the pseudo-Dirac type, i.e. m_Majorana <<…
We propose a two loop induced Dirac type neutrino model at TeV scale. Subsequently, three types of dark matter particles; fermion and two bosons, are naturally introduced. Here we discuss to analyze two possibilities; two component dark…
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…
We explore how the seesaw sector in neutrino mass models may be constrained through symmetries to be completely determined in terms of low-energy mass, mixing angle and CP-violating phase observables. The key ingredients are intra-family…
The seesaw mechanism of neutrino mass generation is analysed under the following assumptions: (1) minimal seesaw with no Higgs triplets, (2) hierarchical Dirac masses of neutrinos, (3) large lepton mixing primarily or solely due to the…
