Neutrinos from spin dynamics

We conjecture that neutrino physics might correspond to the spontaneous magnetisation phase of an Ising-like spin model interaction coupled to neutrino chirality which operates at scales close to the Planck mass. We argue that this scenario leads to a simple extension of the Standard Model with no additional parameters that dynamically generates parity violation and spontaneous symmetry breaking for the gauge bosons which couple to the neutrino. The neutrino mass in the model ismν ∼ Λ 2 ew/2M where Λew is the electroweak scale and M is the scale of the “spin-spin” interaction. For the ground state of the model the free energy density corresponding to the cosmological constant is ρ 1 4 Λ ∼ mν , consistent with observation. ∗[email protected]
