Description

We discuss theories for a small neutrino mass 100 eV, which introduce a heavy (105 GeV) right-handed partner νsub(R). The νsub(R) does not spoil the standard results of cosmology, namely nucleosynthesis and the creation of the baryon-antibaryon assymmetry. We also consider the role of superheavy fermions which interact through superheavy gauge bosons only. (orig.)
