Scale of Mass Generation for Majorana Neutrinos
نویسندگان
چکیده
Scales of mass generation for Majorana neutrinos (as well as quarks and leptons) can be probed from high energy 2 → n inelastic scattering involving a multiple longitudinal gauge boson final state. We demonstrate that the unitarity of 2 → n scattering puts the strongest new upper limit on the scale of fermion mass generation, independent of the electroweak symmetry breaking scale v = ( √ 2GF ) − 1 2 . Strikingly, for Majorana neutrinos (quarks and leptons), we find that the strongest 2 → n limits fall in a narrow range, 136 − 170TeV (3 − 107TeV) with n = 20 − 24 (n = 2 − 12), depending on the observed fermion masses. Physical implications are discussed.

We investigate whether radiative corrections can be responsible for the generation of large mixing in a pair of degenerate neutrino with same CP parity. We find that this mechanism is fine tuned and doesn’t work for arbitrary mixing at the high scale. The data from the solar neutrino and the atmospheric neutrino experiments can be explained through flavor oscillations of massive neutrinos. The ...

متن کاملHiggs Boson Masses in the MSSM with Heavy Majorana Neutrinos
We present a full diagrammatic computation of the one-loop corrections from the neutrino/sneutrino sector to the renormalized neutral CP-even Higgs boson self-energies and the lightest Higgs boson mass, Mh, within the context of the so-called MSSMseesaw scenario. This consists of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model with the addition of massive right handed Majorana neutrinos and their sup...

متن کاملA See-Saw Mechanism with light sterile neutrinos
The usual see-saw mechanism for the generation of light neutrino masses is based on the assumption that all of the flavours of right-handed (more properly, sterile) neutrinos are heavy . If the sterile Majorana mass matrix is singular, one or more of the sterile neutrinos will have zero mass before mixing with the active (left-handed) neutrinos and be light after that mixing is introduced. In p...
