The abstract, sentence by sentence

arXiv listing abstract v2. Results and the main claim are underlined; show every role.

We propose a low energy extension of the Standard Model consisting of an additional gauged $U(1)_{B-L}$ plus three right-handed neutrinos. The lightest right-handed neutrinos have TeV scale masses and may be produced at colliders via their couplings to the $Z_{B-L}$ gauge boson whose mass and gauge coupling is constrained by the out-of-equilibrium condition leading to upper bounds on the right-handed neutrino and $Z_{B-L}$ production cross-sections at colliders. We propose a brane-world scenario which motivates such TeV mass right-handed neutrinos. Our analysis opens up the possibility that the mechanism responsible for neutrino mass is testable at colliders such as the LHC or VLHC.

Original abstract

We propose a low energy extension of the Standard Model consisting of an additional gauged $U(1)_{B-L}$ plus three right-handed neutrinos. The lightest right-handed neutrinos have TeV scale masses and may be produced at colliders via their couplings to the $Z_{B-L}$ gauge boson whose mass and gauge coupling is constrained by the out-of-equilibrium condition leading to upper bounds on the right-handed neutrino and $Z_{B-L}$ production cross-sections at colliders. We propose a brane-world scenario which motivates such TeV mass right-handed neutrinos. Our analysis opens up the possibility that the mechanism responsible for neutrino mass is testable at colliders such as the LHC or VLHC.

Electroweak-Scale Resonant Leptogenesis
hep-ph 2005-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

Flavour-resolved Boltzmann equations show that resonant tau-leptogenesis at the electroweak scale can reproduce the observed baryon asymmetry, with testable rates for mu-to-e-gamma and mu-to-e conversion.
Minimal predictive see-saw model with normal neutrino mass hierarchy
hep-ph 2013-04 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

A minimal two-right-handed-neutrino see-saw model with couplings (0,1,1) and (1,1,3) or (1,3,1) and relative phase of about 60 degrees reproduces measured lepton mixing to about one degree and predicts a CP phase near...
Dark Matter Freeze-In during Warm Inflation and the Seesaw Mechanism
hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

A U(1)_{B-L} inverse-seesaw model realizes warm-inflation freeze-in of fermionic dark matter via a heavy Z' portal, with parameters adjusted to match the observed dark matter abundance and neutrino masses.
The Phenomenology of Right Handed Neutrinos
hep-ph 2013-03 accept novelty 3.0 of 10

Right-handed neutrinos with masses from eV to the GUT scale can plausibly address neutrino oscillations, baryogenesis, dark matter, and dark radiation, but the evidence remains indirect and scenario-dependent.
Neutrino Mass and Mixing with Modular Symmetry
hep-ph 2023-11 accept novelty 2.0 of 10

Modular symmetry can organize neutrino masses and lepton mixing through a single modulus and modular forms, but the reviewed models still fit several parameters to data.

Unified Models of Neutrinos, Flavour and CP Violation
hep-ph 2017-01 accept novelty 2.0 of 10

A review argues that viable neutrino flavour models should be predictive, minimal, symmetry-based, and unified, and presents the Littlest Seesaw as the leading candidate.
Right-handed neutrinos: seesaw models and signatures
hep-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 1.0 of 10

A pedagogical review that explains how adding right-handed neutrinos can generate small neutrino masses through seesaw mechanisms and what experimental signatures such models predict.

7 arXiv papers cite this in 9 sentences

Each citing sentence is taken from the citing paper's LaTeX source and typed by Pith's classifier. A label appears at probability 0.8 or more (0.95 for support), a contest at 0.7 or more; the quoted words are the citing authors'. How each label was checked · JSON

Cites it as background 1 paper

In general there are three classes of proposals in the literature for the new physics at the scale $Λ$: * Several types of Majorana seesaw mechanisms [ref] ; also in addition low (TeV) scale seesaw mechanisms [ref] (with the Weinberg operator resulting from the mass $M$ of a heavy particle exchanged at tree-level with $Λ=M$).
