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…
In the framework of the seesaw mechanism, and adopting a typical form for the Dirac neutrino mass matrix, we discuss the impact of minimal forms of the Majorana neutrino mass matrix. These matrices contain four or three texture zeros and…
We investigate an alternative seesaw mechanism for neutrino mass generation. Neutrino mass is generated at loop level but the basic concept of usual seesaw mechanism is kept. One simple model is constructed to show how this mechanism is…
The seesaw mechanism to derive the light masses of left-handed neutrinos using heavy masses of right-handed neutrinos gives rise to a connection between low-energy measurables and GUT-scale mechanism. We expresses the neutrino mixing angles…
A left-right symmetric model is discussed with new mirror fermions and a Higgs sector with two doublets and neutral scalar singlets. The seesaw mechanism is generalized, including not only neutrino masses but also charged fermion masses.…
Generating appropriate tiny neutrino masses via inverse seesaw mechanism within the framework of a particular SU(3)xSU(4)xU(1) gauge model is the main outcome of this letter. It is achieved by simply adding three singlet exotic Majorana…
If neutrinos have masses, why are they so tiny? Are these masses of the Dirac type or of the Majorana type? We are already familiar with the mechanism of how to obtain a tiny Majorana neutrino mass by the famous see-saw mechanism. The…
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…
The seesaw type II mechanism is considered within the framework of a left-right chiral model with a gauge group $SU(2)_L\times SU(2)_R\times U(1)$, the lepton sector of which includes three generations of heavy Majorana neutrinos. The…
The PQ mechanism resolving the strong CP problem and the seesaw mechanism explaining the smallness of neutrino masses may be related in a way that the PQ symmetry breaking scale and the seesaw scale arise from a common origin. Depending on…
A solution to the problem of the origin of matter in the universe can be reasonably searched within extensions of the standard model that also explain neutrino masses and mixing. Models embedding the minimal seesaw mechanism can explain the…
We explore a new origin of neutrino dark energy and baryon asymmetry in the universe. The neutrinos acquire small masses through the Dirac seesaw mechanism. The pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson associated with neutrino mass-generation provides…
We study a seesaw-type extension of the Standard Model in which the symmetry group is enlarged by a global U(1). We introduce adequate scalar and fermion representations which naturally explain the smallness of neutrino masses. With the…
This paper reviews some aspects of the physics of neutrinos, in particular neutrino masses and the issue of Dirac versus Majorana neutrinos. The see-saw mechanism is described and it is argued that the Majorana nature of neutrinos can be…
We propose that neutrino masses are "seeded" by a dark sector within the inverse seesaw mechanism. This way we have a new, "hidden", variant of the scotogenic scenario for radiative neutrino masses. We discuss both explicit and dynamical…
A new lefthanded see-saw mechanism is constructed, implying both the smallness of active-neutrino masses and decoupling of heavy passive neutrinos, similarly to the situation in the case of conventional see-saw. But now, in place of the…
We point out that the minimal seesaw model can provide a natural framework to accommodate tiny neutrino masses, while its experimental testability and notable predictiveness are still maintained. This possibility is based on the observation…
The four light neutrino scenario, which explains the atmosphere, solar and LSND neutrino experiments, is studied in the framework of the seesaw mechanism. By taking both the Dirac and Majorana mass matrix of neutrinos to be singular, the…
We consider the see-saw mechanism for hierarchical Dirac and Majorana neutrino mass matrices m_D and M_R, including the CP violating phases. Simple arguments about the structure of the neutrino mass matrix and the requirement of successful…
The Standard Model (SM) with one right-handed neutrino per generation is revisited with presymmetry being the global $U(1)_{B-L}$ symmetry of an electroweak theory of leptons and quarks with initially postulated symmetric fractional…
