Right-handed neutrinos as the source of density perturbations
We study the possibility that cosmological density perturbations are generated by the inhomogeneous decay of right-handed neutrinos. This will occur if a scalar field whose fluctuations are created during inflation is coupled to the neutrino sector. Robust predictions of the model are a detectable level of non-Gaussianity and, if standard leptogenesis is the source of the baryon asymmetry, a ba...
متن کاملRationalizing right-handed neutrinos
A simple argument based on an SU(3) gauged horizontal symmetry is presented that connects the explanation for three generations of matter with the existence of a triplet of right-handed neutrinos. This rationale for right-handed neutrinos is analogous to, but completely independent of, grand unification or extra universal dimensions. A brief discussion of the supersymmetrized SU(3) model is als...
متن کاملRight-handed neutrinos as the origin of the electroweak scale
The insular nature of the Standard Model may be explained if the Higgs mass parameter is only sensitive to quantum corrections from physical states. Starting from a scale-free electroweak sector at tree level, we postulate that quantum effects of heavy right-handed neutrinos induce a mass term for a scalar weak doublet that contains the dark matter particle. In turn, below the scale of heavy ne...
متن کاملNaturally Degenerate Right Handed Neutrinos
In the context of supersymmetric theories, a weakly broken gauged SO(3) flavour symmetry is used to produce two highly degenerate right handed (RH) neutrinos. It is then shown that this SO(3) flavour symmetry is compatible with all fermion masses and mixings if it is supplemented with a further SU(3) flavour symmetry. A specific Susy breaking model is used to generate the light neutrino masses ...
متن کاملRight - handed neutrinos : the hunt is on !
The possibility of the existence of right-handed neutrinos remains one of the most important open questions in particle physics, as they can help elucidate the problems of neutrino masses, matter-antimatter asymmetry, and dark matter. Interest in this topic has been increasing in recent years with the proposal of new experimental avenues by which right-handed neutrinos with masses below the ele...
