We propose novel tree level seesaw mechanism with TeV-scale vectorlike Dirac mediators that produce Majorana masses of the known neutrinos. The gauge quantum number assignment to the Dirac mediators allows them to belong to a weak triplet and a five-plet of nonzero hypercharge. The latter leads to new seesaw formula m_\nu ~ v^6/M^5, so that the empirical masses m_\nu ~ 10^{-1} eV can be achieved by M ~ TeV new states. There is a limited range of the parameter space with M < a few 100 GeV where the tree level contribution dominates over the respective loop contributions and the proposed mechanism is testable at the LHC. We discuss specific signatures for Dirac type heavy leptons produced by Drell-Yan fusion at the LHC.

  1. Thermal Leptogenesis in the BNT Model of Neutrino Mass

    hep-ph 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0

    In the BNT neutrino-mass model, thermal leptogenesis can explain the observed baryon asymmetry with triplet masses above roughly 3.5e7 GeV in the hierarchical case and as low as 1.7 TeV with resonant enhancement.
