    If, on one hand, the inverse seesaw is the paradigm of TeV scale seesaw mechanism, on the other it is a challenge to find scenarios capable of realizing it. In this work we propose a scenario, based on the framework of R-parity violation, that realizes minimally the supersymmetric inverse seesaw mechanism. In it the energy scale parameters involved in the mechanism are recognized as the vacuum expectation values of the scalars that compose the singlet superfields N^C\hat N^C and S^\hat S. We develop also the scalar sector of the model and show that the Higgs mass receives a new tree-level contribution that, when combined with the standard contribution plus loop correction, is capable of attaining 125125GeV without resort to heavy stops.Comment: Minor modification of the text.

    Bounds on the Simplest Little Higgs Model Mass Spectrum Through Z Leptonic Decay

    We derive the leptonic neutral current in the simplest little Higgs model and compute the contribution of the model to the decay width Z→e+e−Z \to e^+e^-. Using the precision electroweak data we obtain a strong lower bound f≥5.6f\geq 5.6 TeV at 95% C.L. on the characteristic energy scale of the model. It results in a lower bound for the new gauge bosons W′±W^{\prime\pm} and Z′Z^{\prime} as being MW′±≥2.6M_{W^{\prime\pm}}\geq 2.6 TeV and MZ′≥3.1M_{Z^{\prime}}\geq 3.1 TeV, respectively. We also present the allowed values of the k=f1/f2k=f_1/f_2 which is the parameter relating the two vacuum expectation values of the scalar triplets in the model, and the μ\mu parameter of a quadratic term, involving the triplets, necessary to provide an acceptable mass range for the standard Higgs boson.Comment: New references added, 13 pages.

    The Left-Right SU(3)(L)xSU(3)(R)xU(1)(X) Model with Light, keV and Heavy Neutrinos

    Full text link
    We construct a full left-right model for the electroweak interactions based on the SU(3)L⊗SU(3)R⊗U(1)XSU(3)_{L}\otimes SU(3)_{R}\otimes U(1)_{X} gauge symmetry. The fermion content of the model is such that anomaly cancellation restricts the number of families to be a multiple of three. One of the most important features of the model is the joint presence of three light active neutrinos, three additional neutrinos at keV mass scale, and six heavy ones with masses around\textbf{101110^{11}} GeV. They form a well-motivated part of the spectrum in the sense they address challenging problems related to neutrino oscillation, warm dark matter, and baryogenesis through leptogenesis.Comment: 11 pages.

    A Simple Realization of the Inverse Seesaw Mechanism

    Full text link
    Differently from the canonical seesaw mechanism, which is grounded in grand unified theories, the inverse seesaw mechanism lacks a special framework that realizes it naturally. In this work we advocate that the 3-3-1 model with right-handed neutrinos has such an appropriate framework to accommodate the inverse seesaw mechanism. We also provide an explanation for the smallness of the μ\mu parameter and estimate the branching ratio for the rare lepton flavor violation process μ→eγ\mu \rightarrow e\gamma.Comment: About 14pages, no figures, basis corrected, to appear at the PR
