Extending two Higgs doublet models for two-loop neutrino mass generation and one-loop neutrinoless double beta decay
نویسندگان
چکیده
We extend some two Higgs doublet models, where the Yukawa couplings for the charged fermion mass generation only involve one Higgs doublet, by two singlet scalars respectively carrying a singly electric charge and a doubly electric charge. The doublet and singlet scalars together can mediate a two-loop diagram to generate a tiny Majorana mass matrix of the standard model neutrinos. Remarkably, the structure of the neutrino mass matrix is fully determined by the symmetric Yukawa couplings of the doubly charged scalar to the right-handed leptons. Meanwhile, a one-loop induced neutrinoless double beta decay can arrive at a testable level even if the electron neutrino has an extremely small Majorana mass. We also study other experimental constraints and implications including some rare processes and Higgs phenomenology.

Neutrino mass and lepton number violation in the Little Higgs model
We study lepton number violation in Little Higgs model and find that the choice of putting triplet Higgs vev equal to zero so as not to have any tree level neutrino Majorana mass is not natural in the sense that such a term is generated at the one loop level. We investigate the contribution of exotic lepton number violating terms on neutrinoless double beta decay, K meson decay and on trilepton...
متن کاملNeutrinoless double beta decay, neutrino mass and bilinear R-parity breaking supersymmetry
Neutrinoless double beta (ββ0ν) decay violates lepton number; its absence stringently constrains the parameters of theories beyond the standard model in which the neutrino has a Majorana mass. R-parity violating weak-scale supersymmetry is a prominent example of such models. Double beta decay in supersymmetry with explicit bilinear R-parity breaking is discussed and current limits on the ββ0ν d...
متن کاملWhat can we learn from neutrinoless double beta decay experiments?
We assess how well next-generation neutrinoless double beta decay and normal neutrino beta decay experiments can answer four fundamental questions. ~1! If neutrinoless double beta decay searches do not detect a signal, and if the spectrum is known to be inverted hierarchy, can we conclude that neutrinos are Dirac particles? ~2! If neutrinoless double beta decay searches are negative and a next-...
متن کاملRadiative neutrino mass generation linked to neutrino mixing and neutrinoless double beta decay predictions
We discuss the connection between the origin of neutrino masses and their mixings which arises in a class of scenarios with radiatively induced neutrino masses. In these scenarios, the neutrino mass matrix acquires textures with two entries close to zero in the basis where the charged-lepton mass matrix is diagonal. This results in specific constraints on the neutrino mixing parameters, which l...
متن کاملR-parity Conserving Supersymmetry, Neutrino Mass and Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay
We consider contributions of R-parity conserving softly broken supersymmetry (SUSY) to neutrinoless double beta (0νββ) decay via the (B-L)-violating sneutrino mass term. The latter is a generic ingredient of any weak-scale SUSY model with a Majorana neutrino mass. The new R-parity conserving SUSY contributions to 0νββ are realized at the level of box diagrams. We derive the effective Lagrangian...
