  1. 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) Seminar at Academia Sinica (2012.1.13, Friday)

  2. 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.

Double beta decay and μ e γvanish. 3 Two right-handed neutrino masses are degenerate. Lepton number(-like) symmetry remains. Degeneracy of Majorana neutrino Merit of TeV-scale resonant leptogenesis

  32. Summary We consider a convenient basis to describe the non-negligible left-right neutrino mixing. Tiny neutrino masses can be realized even ifthe left-right mixing is sizable. The neutrino mass structure can be controlled by a flavor symmetry. Same-sign di-electron events may be observed as well as di-muon events, satisfyingthe constraint of neutrino-less double beta decay.
