3 Why Beyond Standard Model? 1. There are no right-handed neutrinos 2. There are only Higgs doublets of SU(2) L 3. There are only renormalizable terms R In the Standard Model these conditions all apply so neutrinos are massless, with e,, distinguished by separate lepton numbers L e, L, L Neutrinos and anti-neutrinos are distinguished by the total conserved lepton number L=L e +L +L To generate neutrino mass we must relax 1 and/or 2 and/or 3 Staying within the SM is not an option but what direction? 29/05/2008 Steve King, Neutrino'08, Christchurch 3

4 Neutrino mass models roadmap LSND True or False? False Dirac or Majorana? Majorana True Dirac Sterile or CPTV? Extra dims? Higgs Triplets, Loops, RPV, See-saw mechanisms Normal or Inverted? Normal Very precise TBM? Yes Family symmetry? Yes Hierarchical or deg? Hierarchy Type I see-saw? Inverted Symmetry e.g. L e L L? No No Degenerate Anarchy, see-saw, etc Alternatives? Type II see-saw? GUTs and/or Strings?

5 LSND True or False? MiniBoone does not support LSND result does support three neutrinos For steriles see Shaposhnikov talk In this talk we assume that LSND is false 29/05/2008 Steve King, Neutrino'08, Christchurch 5

6 Dirac or Majorana? Majorana masses CP conjugate mll M L c L c RR R R Violates L Violates L,, e L L Neutrino=antineutrino Dirac mass m LR L R Conserves L Violates L,, e L L Neutrino antineutrino 29/05/2008 Steve King, Neutrino'08, Christchurch 6

8 Flat extra dimensions with RH neutrinos in the bulk Dienes, Dudas, Gherghetta; Arkhani-Hamed, Dimopoulos, Dvali, March-Russell For one extra dimension y the R wavefunction spreads out over the extra dimension, leading to a volume suppressed Yukawa coupling at y=0 R in bulk H 0 0 M string mlr H V M Planck y 7 M string 10 e. g M 10 Planck 12 29/05/2008 Steve King, Neutrino'08, Christchurch 8

10 2 nd Possibility: Majorana Renormalisable L =2 operator Non-renormalisable L =2 operator LL M LLHH where is light Higgs triplet with VEV < 8GeV from parameter M H 0 2 c el el Weinberg This is nice because it gives naturally small Majorana neutrino masses m LL» <H 0 > 2 /M where M is some high energy scale The high mass scale can be associated with some heavy particle of mass M being exchanged (can be singlet or triplet) H L M H L H L M H L Loop models RPV SUSY See-saw mechanisms 29/05/2008 Steve King, Neutrino'08, Christchurch 10

11 Loop models Introduce Higgs singlets and triplets with couplings to leptons Zee (one loop) Babu (two loop) 29/05/2008 Steve King, Neutrino'08, Christchurch 11

12 RPV SUSY Another way to generate Majorana masses is via SUSY Scalar partners of lepton doublets (slepton doublets) have same quantum numbers as Higgs doublets If R-parity is violated then sneutrinos may get (small) VEVs inducing a mixing between neutrinos and neutralinos 2 2 m LL MeV M TeV Also need loops ev L L Drees,Dreiner, Diaz, Hirsch, Porod, Romao,Valle, 29/05/2008 Steve King, Neutrino'08, Christchurch 12

15 Very precise Tri-bimaximal mixing (TBM)? Harrison, Perkins, Scott 12 35, 45, c.f. data , 45 3, Current data is consistent with TBM But no convincing reason for exact TBM expect deviations 13 29/05/2008 Steve King, Neutrino'08, Christchurch 15

16 It is useful to consider the following parametrization of the PMNS mixing matrix in terms of deviations from TBM r = reactor s = solar a = atmospheric SFK; see also Pakvasa, Rodejohann, Wyler; Bjorken, Harrison, Scott, Parke, For a list of oscillation formulae in terms of r,s,a see SFK arxiv: /05/2008 Steve King, Neutrino'08, Christchurch 16

19 Family symmetry t e u d s c b e The basic idea of family symmetry is to assign each family a new type of charge

20 The magic symmetry A 4 A 4 is symmetry group of the tetrahedron (Plato s ``fire ) reproduces the TBM form of the charged lepton mass matrix in the Cabibbo-Wolfenstein basis 2 Ma, Rajasakaran TBM form of the neutrino mass matrix then requires a delicate Higgs vacuum alignment Ma; Altarelli,Feruglio A 4 may also be used to give the TBM neutrino mass matrix in the Flavour basis 1 Altarelli,Feruglio A 4 may arise from 6D orbifolding Altarelli,Feruglio,Lin 29/05/2008 Steve King, Neutrino'08, Christchurch 20

32 Conclusion Neutrino mass and mixing requires new physics BSM Many roads for model building, but answers to key experimental questions will provide the signposts One key question is how accurately is TBM realised? Goal of next generation of oscillation experiments is to show that the deviations from TBM r,s,a are non-zero and measure them and If TBM is accurately realised this may imply a new symmetry of nature: family symmetry GUTs family symmetry with see-saw + CSD is very attractive framework for TBM sum rule prediction Few realistic models, complicated vacuum alignment Status quo is not an option neutrino physics demands a theory of flavour, and may provide further clues 29/05/2008 Steve King, Neutrino'08, Christchurch 32
