Why is the neutrino mass so small?
Why are the neutrinos morethan 250.000 times lighter than the electron?
Cannot be described in simple extensions of the Standard Model Is the neutrino mass the lowest order perturbation of physics BSM?
Seesaw mechanism: Neutrino mass suppressed by heavy partner, which only exists in the early universe (GUT seesaw)?
Decay of MR origin of matter-antimatter-asymmetry?CP violation? Test in neutrino oscillations!Requires Majorana nature of neutrino!

But these are no fundamental theories (non-renormalizable operators). Idea: Investigate fundamental theories (TeV completions) systematically!

Neutrino masses at the TeV scale
Goals: New physics scale “naturally“ at TeV scale
(i.e., TeV scale not put in by hand) Testable at the LHC?!
Yukawa couplings of order one
Requires additional suppression mechanisms. The typical ones:
1) Radiative generation of neutrino mass (n loops)2) Neutrino mass from higher than d=5 effective operator3) Small lepton number violating contribution (e.g.
inverse see-saw, RPV SUSY models, …)
![Page 13: Neutrino physics Lecture 2: Theory of neutrino mass, and physics BSM? Herbstschule für Hochenergiephysik Maria Laach 04-14.09.2012 Walter Winter Universität](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062423/56649e7b5503460f94b7d089/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

15
Example: Neutrino mass from higher dimensional operators
Approach: Use higher dimensional operators, e.g.
Leads to
Estimate: for ~ 1 – 10 TeV and m linear in Yukawas (worst case): d = 9 sufficient if no other suppression mechanism d = 7 sufficient if Yukawas ~ me/v ~ 10-6 allowed

16
The loop issue
Loop d=5 contribution dominates for or > 3 TeV
Conclusion: If assumed that d=7 leading, one effectively has to put << 3 TeV by hand(see e.g. Babu, Nandi, Tavartkiladze, 2009)
Can one avoid this?

Forbid lower dim. operators
Define genuine d=D operator as leading contribution to neutrino mass with all operators d<D forbidden
Use new U(1) or discrete symmetry (“matter parity“) Problem: H+H can never be charged under the new
symmetry! Need new fields! The simplest possibilities are probably

Example: 3+1 framework(with addl. m2 ~ 1 eV2)
Well known tension between appearance and disapp. data (appearance disappearance in both channels)
Need one or more new experiments which can test e disappearance (Gallium, reactor anomalies) disappearance (overconstrains 3+N frameworks) e- oscillations (LSND, MiniBooNE) Neutrinos and antineutrinos separately (CP violation? Gallium vs reactor?)

Non-unitarity of mixing matrix? Integrating out heavy fermion fields (such as in a type-I TeV
see-saw), one obtains neutrino mass and the d=6 operator (here: fermion singlets)
Re-diagonalizing and re-normalizing the kinetic terms of the neutrinos, one has
This can be described by an effective (non-unitary) mixing matrix with N=(1+) U
Relatively stroung bounds already, perhaps not so good candidate for future measurements(see e. g. Antusch, Baumann, Fernandez-Martinez, arXiv:0807.1003)

Non-standard interactions
Typically described by effective four fermion interactions (here with leptons)
May lead to matter NSI (for ==e)
May also lead to source/detector NSI
How plausible is a modelleading to such NSI(and showing up in
neutrino sector only)?

operators from non-unitarity, EWPT, … are very strong! (Antusch, Baumann, Fernandez-Martinez, arXiv:0807.1003)

The TBM “prejudice“
Tri-bimaximal mixings probably most discussed approach for neutrinos (Ul often diagonal)
Can be obtained in flavor symmetry models (e.g., A4, S4)
Consequence: 13=0 Obviously not!
Ways out for large 13?

36
Anarchy?
Idea: perhaps the mixing parameters are a “random draw“?
Challenge: define parameterization-independent measure
Result: large 13 “natural“, no magic needed

37
“Structure+randomness“:Froggatt Nielsen mechanism?
L/R are SM fermions After integrating out the heavy fermions:
Integer power n is controlled by the (generation/flavor-dependent) quantum numbers of the fermions under the flavor symmetry
K: (complex) generation dependent (random) order one coefficients
Well-suited to describe hierarchies

Consequences
Can control the size of 13 by suitable U(1) charges/mass texture for the charged lepton sector:
Challenge:Deviations from TBM 12 typically accompanied by large 13
Re-think zeroth order paradigm (TBM)???

Summary and outlook Are neutrinos masses evidence for physics BSM?
Neutrinoless double beta decayTests at the LHC
0 signal + CPV in lepton sector + no evidence for mass at the LHCGUT seesaw, leptogenesis?
Natural TeV neutrino mass model requires additional suppression mechanism; then, however, plausible to discover it at the LHC
Most likely case for new physics in neutrino sector: fourth generation (light sterile neutrino)?
Theory of flavor has to be re-thought after 13 discovery
