Planck-scale physics and neutrino masses.

چکیده
We discuss gravitationally induced masses and mass splittings of Majorana, Zeldovich-Konopinski-Mahmoud and Dirac neutrinos. Among other implications, these effects can provide a solution of the solar neutrino puzzle. In particular, we show how this may work in the 17 keV neutrino picture.

Dirac neutrino masses with planck scale lepton number violation.
It is shown how pure Dirac neutrino masses can naturally occur at low energies even in the presence of Planck scale lepton number violation. In a 5D setting this is achieved by explicitly breaking the lepton number on the Planck brane while the right-handed neutrino is localized on the TeV brane. A small wave function overlap then naturally leads to a small Dirac Yukawa coupling. In the 4D dual...
متن کاملSupersymmetry and neutrino mass
The existence of neutrino mass and mixing is a strong pointer towards physics beyond the standard model. An overview of the possibility of having neutrino masses in supersymmetric theories is attempted here. Some of the recent works reviewed suggest Dirac masses, whereas others include Majorana masses as well. Side by side, it is shown how R-parity violating supersymmetry opens new avenues in t...
متن کاملProbing physics beyond the standard model from lepton sector
The Standard Model (SM) is the most successful model to explain physics below the weak scale. The recent results for sin 2β or sin 2φ1 by Belle [1] and Babar [2] are converging, and they are consistent with the Kobayashi-Maskawa mechanism [3]. Also, the precision measurements of the electroweak parameters suggest the light SM Higgs boson such as mh ∼ 196GeV (95%CL) [4]. Now we are waiting for s...
متن کاملPlanck scale effects in neutrino physics.
We study the phenomenology and cosmology of the Majoron (flavon) models of three active and one inert neutrino paying special attention to the possible (almost) conserved generalization of the Zeldovich-Konopinski-Mahmoud lepton charge. Using Planck scale physics effects which provide the breaking of the lepton charge, we show how in this picture one can incorporate the solutions to some of the...
متن کاملSeesaw Mechanism in Warped Geometry
We show how the seesaw mechanism for neutrino masses can be realized within a five dimensional (5D) warped geometry framework. Intermediate scale standard model (SM) singlet neutrino masses, needed to explain the atmospheric and solar neutrino oscillations, are shown to be proportional to MPl exp((2c − 1)πkR), where c denotes the coefficient of the 5D Dirac mass term for the singlet neutrino wh...
