Minimal radiative neutrino masses
- 1. Particle and Astro-Particle Physics Division, Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik (MPIK) (Germany)
Description
We conduct a systematic search for neutrino mass models which only radiatively produce the dimension-5 Weinberg operator. We thereby do not allow for additional symmetries beyond the Standard Model gauge symmetry and we restrict ourselves to minimal models. We also include stable fractionally charged and coloured particles in our search. Additionally, we proof that there is a unique model with three new fermionic representations where no new scalars are required to generate neutrino masses at loop level. This model further has a potential dark matter candidate and introduces a general mechanism for loop-suppression of the neutrino mass via a fermionic ladder.
