We examine simple extension of the standard model with a pair of fermions, one singlet and a doublet, in a common thread linking the dark matter problem with the smallness of neutrino masses associated with several exciting features. In the…
We consider a U(1) gauge theory, minimally coupled to a massless Dirac field, where a higher-derivative term is added to the pure gauge sector, as in the Lee-Wick models. We find that this term can trigger chiral symmetry breaking at low…
A minimal extension of the standard model to naturally generate small neutrino masses and provide a dark matter candidate is proposed. The dark matter particle is part of a new scalar doublet field that plays a crucial role in radiatively…
Neutral vectorlike fermion as inspired by unified theories might become quasi-Dirac states at TeV due to a violation in lepton-like symmetry. It is shown that such quasi-Dirac fermions can properly achieve radiative neutrino mass generation…
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…
We propose a new mechanism to generate minuscule active neutrino masses in a five-dimensional~(5d) spacetime of an interval without introducing $SU(2)_L$ singlet neutrinos. Under asymmetric boundary conditions on the two end points, a bulk…
We study neutrino mass generation and dark matter in a left-right symmetric model. The model is based on an $SU(3)_c\times SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R \times U(1)_{B-L}$ gauge theory with a softly broken parity symmetry. Masses of the charged…
Several intriguing aspects of neutrino oscillation phenomenology like the origin of small neutrino masses, the absolute neutrino mass scale, the neutrino mass hierarchy, i.e. normal or inverted and the nature of neutrinos, i.e. Dirac or…
We present a new solution to the strong CP problem in which the imaginary component of the up quark mass, $\mathcal{I}[m_u]$, acquires a tiny, but non-vanishing value. This is achieved via a Dirac seesaw mechanism, which is also responsible…
The minimally extended standard model of particle physics contains three right handed or sterile neutrinos, coupled to the active ones by a Dirac mass matrix and mutually by a Majorana mass matrix. In the pseudo-Dirac case, the Majorana…
We propose a systematic and renormalizable sequential loop suppression mechanism to generate the hierarchy of the Standard Model fermion masses from one discrete symmetry. The discrete symmetry is sequentially softly broken in order to…
