TeV-scale seesaw with non-negligible left-right neutrino mixings Yukihiro Mimura (National Taiwan University) Based on arXiv:1110.2252 [hep-ph] Collaboration with N. Haba, T. Horita, and K. Kaneta (Osaka U) 1 Seminar at Academia Sinica (2012.1.13, Friday)

Introduction Neutrinos are massive, but active neutrino masses are tiny, < O(1) eV The simplest mechanism is type-I seesaw. “Natural” scale for

3 Q. Is there a chance to “observe” the right-handed neutrino? Ex. C.f. Right-handed neutrino mass can be O(100) GeV, but, …..

4 Left-right neutrino mixing: Ex. Negligibly small to create the Majorana neutrino at the collider.

5 Q. Is it possible to make the left-right mixing large enough to detect the existence of the right-handed neutrino? A. Yes, if generation structure is taken into account.

14 Three-generation case Without loss of generality, we can choose a basis: In the limit b,d,e  0, the 6x6 neutrino matrix is rank 3. Features of this basis: Easy to find a tiny active neutrino mass limit. Left-right mixing is characterized by

16 In old works in the literature, people works in the basis: is required for tiny neutrino mass. In our basis, The above condition is satisfied simply due to

24 Suppose that the mixings from the charged lepton are small, the Unitary matrix U is the MSN matrix. From the condition: we obtain …. Next page

25 (Only the case of Normal hierarchy gives solutions in the setup.) Using the experimental data, we obtain 13 mixing as a prediction. (Cubic equation of 13 mixing for given CP phase).

30 Same-sign di-electron is strongly constrainted by double beta decay : Amplitude is proportional to. It can also controlled by a flavor symmetry. Same-sign di-electron can have a chance to be observed.

31 Several special cases: Two-lighter right-handed neutrino masses are degenerate. Double beta decay vanishes. Double beta decay and μ  e γ vanish. Two right-handed neutrino masses are degenerate.
