abstract

We show that a double seesaw framework for neutrino masses with $\mu-\tau$ exchange symmetry can lead to one of the righthanded seesaw partners of the light neutrinos being massless. This can play the role of a light sterile neutrino, giving a $3+1$ model that explains the LSND results. We get a very economical scheme, which makes it possible to predict the full $4\times 4$ neutrino mass matrix if CP is conserved. Once CP violation is included, effect of the LSND mass range sterile neutrino is to eliminate the lower bound on neutrinoless double beta decay rate which exists for the three neutrino case with inverted mass hierarchy. The same strategy can also be used to generate a natural $3+2$ model for LSND, which is also equally predictive for the CP conserving case in the limit of exact $\mu-\tau$ symmetry.

    Sterile neutrinos suppress the matter power spectrum and halo mass and velocity functions while increasing halo pairwise infall velocities, with effects up to tens of percent for the most massive cases studied.
