We consider the problem of neutrino masses and mixing within the general framework of standard (type-I) seesaw models leading to three light neutrinos. Under the assumption of a hierarchical neutrino mass spectrum \lambda^4: \lambda : 1,…
We introduce three right-handed neutrinos and three sterile neutrinos, and consider an inverse seesaw mechanism for neutrino mass generation. From naturalness point of view, their Majorana masses should be small, while it induces a large…
We adopt a bottom-up approach to reconstruct the possible neutrino mass matrix patterns, in the hypothesis that $\lambda = \sin \theta_C$, where $\theta_C$ is the Cabibbo angle, is a useful expansion parameter in the neutrino sector as it…
We construct a neutrino mass matrix $M_{\nu}$ via a seesaw mechanism whith perturbed invariant under a cyclic permutation by introducing one parameter $\delta$ into the diagonal elements of $M_{\nu}$ with assumption that trace of the…
We discuss an inverse seesaw model based on right-handed fermion specific $U(1)$ gauge symmetry and $A_4$-modular symmetry. These symmetries forbid unnecessary terms and restrict structures of Yukawa interactions which are relevant to…
We consider the production of a heavy neutrino and its possible signals at the Large Hadron-electron Collider (LHeC) in the context of an inverse-seesaw model for neutrino mass generation. The inverse seesaw model extends the Standard Model…
The smallness of the neutrino masses can be well understood within the seesaw mechanism. We analyse two cases of the minimal extension of the standard model when one or two right-handed fields are added to the three left-handed fields. A…
The gauged $B - L$ symmetry is one of the simplest and well studied extension of standard model. In the conventional case, addition of three singlet right handed neutrinos each transforming as $-1$ under the $B - L$ symmetry renders it…
We propose a $\mu-\tau$ reflection symmetric Littlest Seesaw ($\mu\tau$-LSS) model. In this model the two mass parameters of the LSS model are fixed to be in a special ratio by symmetry, so that the resulting neutrino mass matrix in the…
The seesaw-extended MSSM provides a framework in which the observed light neutrino masses and mixing angles can be generated in the context of a natural theory for the TeV-scale. Sneutrino-mixing phenomena provide valuable tools for…
A multiscalar and nonrenormalizable $B-L$ extension of the standard model (SM) with $S_4$ symmetry which successfully explains the recent observed neutrino oscillation data is proposed. The tiny neutrino masses and their hierarchies are…
We present a new realization of inverted neutrino mass hierarchy based on $S_3 \times {\cal U}(1)$ flavor symmetry. In this scenario, the deviation of the solar oscillation angle from $\pi/4$ is correlated with the value of $\theta_{13}$,…
We study a neutrino mass model with $A_4$ discrete flavor symmetry using a type-I seesaw mechanism. The inclusion of extra flavons in our model leads to the deviations from exact tribimaximal mixing pattern resulting in a nonzero…
Neutrino flavor mixing is explained within the recently proposed low-scale minimal linear seesaw model of neutrino mass generation, a variant of the standard linear seesaw led by a Dirac pair of extra sterile neutrinos which is odd under a…
We discuss a class of models of neutrino masses and mixings with inverse hierarchy based on a broken U(1)_F flavour symmetry with charge L_e-L_\mu-L_\tau for lepton doublets and arbitrary right-handed charges. The symmetry breaking sector…
We present a mathematical framework for constructing the most general neutrino mass matrices that yield the observed spectrum of light active neutrino masses in conjunction with arbitrarily many heavy sterile neutrinos, without the need to…
We discuss symmetries and scenarios leading to quasi-degenerate neutrinos in type-I seesaw models. The existence of degeneracy in the present approach is not linked to any specific structure for the Dirac neutrino Yukawa coupling matrix…
Type I and type II seesaw contributions to the mass matrix of light neutrinos are inherently related if left-right symmetry is realized at high energy scales. We investigate implications of such a relation for the interpretation of neutrino…
A model for neutrino masses and mixing is devised appointing the see-saw mechanism. The proffered model is fabricated with a combination of Type -I and Type-II see-saw contributions of which the latter dominates. The scalars and the leptons…
We consider an expansion of the type-I seesaw mechanism by the inverse of the 3-3 matrix element $1/(M_{R})_{33}$ of the mass matrix of right-handed neutrinos $M_{R}$. Conditions of such a situation are obtained for $M_{R}$ and the Dirac…
