Neutrino masses and mixing angles from leptoquark interactions

Abstract

In this paper we show that the mixing between leptoquarks (LQ's) from different $SU(2)_l$ multiplets can generate a non-trivial Majorana mass matrix for neutrinos through one loop self energy diagrams. Such mixing can arise from gauge invariant and renormalizable LQ-Higgs interaction terms after EW symmetry breaking. We use the experimental indication on neutrino oscillation to find constraints on specific combinations of LQ couplings to quark-lepton pairs and to the SM higgs boson. These constraints are compared with the ones from $\pi\to e\bar {\nu}_e$.Comment: The expressions for majorana mass matrix of neutrinos have been corrected so that they are symmetric.
