Low energy processes to distinguish among seesaw models
نویسندگان
چکیده
— We consider the three basic seesaw scenarios (with fermionic singlets, scalar triplets or fermionic triplets) and discuss their phenomenology, aside from neutrino masses. We use the effective field theory approach and compare the dimension-six operators characteristic of these models. We discuss the possibility of having large dimension-six operators and small dimension-five (small neutrino masses) without any fine-tuning, if the lepton number is violated at a low energy scale. Finally, we discuss some peculiarities of the phenomenology of the fermionic triplet seesaw model.

Third Generation Seesaw Mixing with new Vector-Like Weak-Doublet Quarks
We present a class of models with a third generation seesaw mixing with new vector-like weak-doublet quarks. We analyze a low-energy phenomenology and present several strong dynamics, high-energy realizations of these models. In the Topcolor type scenario, named Top-Bottom Color, we obtain an effective, composite two Higgs doublet model where the third generation isospin splitting is introduced...
متن کاملNeutrino Physics in the Seesaw Model
The seesaw model of heavy and light Majorana neutrinos and its low-energy effective theory are studied, when the number of heavy neutrinos is equal to or less than the number of light lepton generations. We establish a general relationship between the high-energy parameters and the low-energy observables involving only the light fields. It is shown how low-energy measurements of the properties ...
متن کاملUnified universal seesaw models.
A set of Grand Unified Theories based upon the gauge groups SU(5)L × SU(5)R, SO(10)L×SO(10)R and SU(4)C×SU(4)L×SU(4)R is explored. Several novel features distinguish these theories from the well-known SU(5), SO(10) and SU(4)C×SU(2)L×SU(2)R models which they generalize. Firstly, Standard Model quarks and leptons are accompanied by and mix with heavy SU(2)L × SU(2)R singlet partners. The resultin...
متن کاملProbing TeV Left-Right Seesaw at Energy and Intensity Frontiers: a Snowmass White Paper
We discuss ways to probe the origin of neutrino masses at the Energy and Intensity frontiers, in TeV-scale Left-Right seesaw models where small neutrino masses arise via type-I seesaw mechanism. We consider generic (‘vanilla’) version of such models as well as a version which leads to ‘large’ lightheavy neutrino mixing while keeping the neutrino masses small in a natural manner. We point out sp...
متن کاملHidden-Sector Dynamics and the Supersymmetric Seesaw
In light of recent analyses that have shown that nontrivial hidden-sector dynamics in models of supersymmetry breaking can lead to a significant impact on the predicted low-energy supersymmetric spectrum, we extend these studies to consider hidden-sector effects in extensions of the MSSM to include a seesaw model for neutrino masses. A dynamical hidden sector in an interval of mass scales below...
