Neutrino masses and mixings can be generated in many different ways, with some of these scenarios featuring new physics at energy scales relevant for Large Hadron Collider searches. A systematic approach to constructing a large class of…
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…
The R-symmetry formalism is applied for the supersymmetric SU(3)_C X SU(3)_L X U(1)_X (3-3-1) model with right-handed neutrinos. For this kind of models, we study generalization of the MSSM relation among R-parity, spin and matter-parity.…
We present a new model for radiatively generating Majorana active neutrino masses while incorporating a viable dark matter candidate. This is possible by extending the Standard Model with a single Majorana neutrino endowed with a dark…
We report a recent study on lepton masses within a beyond standard model with a SU(3) family symmetry model. In this scenario ordinary heavy fermions, top and bottom quarks and tau lepton become massive at tree level from Dirac See-saw…
If there is no new physics beyond the TeV energy scale, such as in a theory of large extra dimensions, the smallness of the seesaw neutrino mass, i.e. $m_\nu = m_D^2/m_N$, cannot be explained by a very large $m_N$. In contrast to previous…
In contrast to the original type I seesaw mechanism that requires right-handed Majorana neutrinos at energies much higher than the electroweak scale, the so-called low scale seesaw models allow lighter masses for the additional neutrinos.…
We consider models where one Majorana neutrino is massless at tree level (like the see saw with two right-handed neutrinos), and compute the contribution to its mass m generated by two-loop quantum corrections. The result is m \sim…
We consider an extension of the standard model (SM) with an inert Higgs doublet and three Majorana singlet fermions to address both origin and the smallness of neutrino masses and dark matter (DM) problems. In this setup, the lightest…
As a consequence of the LSND anomaly and other hints of an eV scale sterile neutrino from particle physics and cosmology, the neutrino sector of the standard model of particle physics has to be extended and the smallest extension is the…
We explore a mechanism for radiatively generating neutrino Majorana masses in a 5 dimensional orbifold SU(5) unification model without introducing right-handed singlets. The model is non-supersymmetric and the extra dimension is…
Light Dirac neutrino of mass of mass of the order of few eV is obtained in an $SU(2)_L\times U(1)_Y$ model with an extended Higgs sector and right-handed neutrinos. Small neutrino mass is generated at the tree level through small effective…
We present a renormalizable flavor model with Z_4 as flavor symmetry in both the quark and lepton sectors. The model is constructed with a minimal approach and no-right handed neutrinos are introduced. In this approach a minimum number of…
The minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) of particle interactions is extended to include three singlet (right-handed) neutrino superfields together with three other singlet superfields. The resulting theory is assumed to be…
We investigate the generation of small neutrino masses in a clockwork framework which includes Dirac mass terms as well as Majorana mass terms for the new fermions. We derive analytic formulas for the masses of the new particles and for…
Seesaw mechanisms are the simplest and the most elegant way of generating small masses for the active neutrinos $(m_\nu)$. In these mechanisms $m_\nu$ is inversely proportional to the lepton number breaking scale $(M)$ that, in the…
We explore generating the dimension five operator leading to neutrino masses by integrating out heavy SU(2)_L triplet fermions. We exhibit a model that has a neutrino mass matrix consistent with observations. In addition, the model is…
We discuss what kinds of combinations of Yukawa interactions can generate the Majorana neutrino mass matrix. We concentrate on the flavor structure of the neutrino mass matrix because it does not depend on details of the models except for…
The generation of neutrino masses by inverse seesaw mechanisms has advantages over other seesaw models since the potential new physics can be produced at the TeV scale. We propose a model that generates the inverse seesaw mechanism via…
