Abstract

In this Chapter we motivate the need of going beyond the Standard Model for explaining lepton flavor changing neutrino oscillation data and review some of the most popular models for this task, the seesaw models. We will concentrate specially in the so-called low scale seesaw models, one of which will be of special relevance for this Thesis: the inverse seesaw model.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Assuming the simplest scenario where only three physical neutrinos exist.

  2. 2.

    The choice of a scalar singlet is not possible due to the structure of the Weinberg operator.

  3. 3.

    Although the addition of two neutrinos is enough for explaining neutrino oscillation data, we prefer to add one RH per generation.

  4. 4.

    Although the minimal realization of the ISS model that accounts for oscillation data only needs two fermionic pairs [58], usually referred to as the (2,2)-ISS, we prefer to add one pair for each SM family, usually denoted by (3,3)-ISS.

  5. 5.

    Nevertheless, this idea could be generically applied to any model with a new scale responsible of explaining the smallness of neutrino masses.
