Abstract
We propose a radiative seesaw model in an alternative left–right model without any bidoublet scalar fields, in which all the fermion masses in the standard model are generated through a canonical seesaw mechanism at the tree level. On the other hand the observed neutrino masses are generated at two-loop level. In this paper we focus on the neutrino sector and show how to induce the active neutrino masses. Then we discuss the observed neutrino oscillation, constraints from lepton flavor violations, new sources of the muon anomalous magnetic moment, a long-lived dark matter candidate with keV scale mass, and collider physics.

1 Introduction
Current neutrino oscillation data provide strong evidence of tiny but nonzero neutrino masses [1]. Seesaw mechanism is one of the elegant realization to explain such tiny neutrino masses by introducing right-handed neutrinos, which can naturally be embedded into a left–right symmetry \(SU(2)_\mathrm{L} \times SU(2)_\mathrm{R} \times U(1)_{B-L}\) as a theory at TeV scale [2].Footnote 1
On the other hand, radiative seesaw models are also one of the natural realizations to explain the tiny neutrino masses at low energy scale where the neutrino mass matrix is generated at loop level, and a vast paper has recently been arisen in Refs. [3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44,45,46,47,48,49,50,51,52,53,54,55,56,57,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,89,90,91,92,93,94,95,96,97,98,99,100,101,102,103,104,105,106,107,108,109,110,111,112,113,114,115,116,117,118,119,120]. Moreover, some new particles such as dark matter (DM) and/or electrically charged particles, running inside a loop diagram, are introduced in radiative seesaw models. Thus the radiative seesaw models provide a wide variety of interesting phenomenologies correlated with neutrino sector, and these two scenarios are well compatible [14, 15]. Thus it is an attractive interpretation that the active neutrino masses are generated by combination of these mechanisms since neutrino masses are very light compared to the other standard model (SM) fermions. In addition, implementing this scenario into left–right model will be phenomenologically interesting.
In this paper, we combine the left–right model and radiative seesaw model, in which active neutrino masses are generated at two-loop level while Dirac neutrino masses are generated at one loop, employing a specific left–right model based on Ref. [121].Footnote 2 A Majorana mass term of the right-handed neutrino is obtained at tree level by introducing \(SU(2)_\mathrm{R}\) triplet scalar \(\Delta _\mathrm{R}\). But we do not assume the exact left–right symmetry and \(\Delta _\mathrm{L}\) is not introduced. Then we find allowed region of parameter spaces by carrying out numerical analysis where we take into account muon anomalous magnetic moment, various lepton flavor violating processes, and a long-lived DM candidate to explain the X-ray line at 7.1 keV [122, 123], as well as consistency with the current neutrino oscillation data.
This paper is organized as follows. In Sect. 2, we show our model building including Higgs masses, neutrino mass matrix. In Sect. 3, we discuss lepton flavor violations (LFV), muon anomalous magnetic moment, DM, and collider physics and then carry out numerical analysis to search for the parameter space satisfying all the phenomenological constraints. We conclude in Sect. Appendix B.
2 The model
In this section, we introduce our model where the gauge symmetry is introduced as \(SU(2)_\mathrm{L} \times SU(2)_\mathrm{R} \times U(1)_{\mathrm{B}-\mathrm{L}}\). In this paper, we focus on the lepton sector and the details of the quark sector are found in Ref. [121].
2.1 Particle contents and scalar sector
The particle contents for leptons and bosons are, respectively, shown in Tables 1 and 2. Here all the new fields are singlet under \(SU(3)_\mathrm{C}\). We introduce \(SU(2)_\mathrm{R}\) doublet fermions of \(L_\mathrm{R}\) and isospin singlet vector-like fermions of \(E_\mathrm{L(R)}\) both of which have three flavors like SM fermions. As for new bosons, we introduce two \(SU(2)_\mathrm{L(R)}\) doublet scalars \(\Phi _\mathrm{L}\) and \(\Phi _\mathrm{R}\), an isospin singlet singly charged scalar \(h^{\pm }\), and an \(SU(2)_\mathrm{R}\) triplet scalar \(\Delta _\mathrm{R}\). Note here that \(\Phi _\mathrm{R}\) and \(\Delta _\mathrm{R}\), respectively, develop vacuum expectation values (VEVs) (denoted by \(v_\mathrm{R}/\sqrt{2}\) and \(v_{\Delta }/\sqrt{2}\)) in order to break the \(SU(2)_\mathrm{R}\) symmetry and generate Majorana mass term for the right-handed neutrinos \(\nu _\mathrm{R}\) to realize seesaw mechanism with two-loop induced Dirac mass as shown below.
The relevant Lagrangian for Yukawa sector and scalar potential under these assignments are given by
where \(\tau _2\) is a second component of the Pauli matrix, the index i(j) runs 1–3, and \(y_{\Delta _\mathrm{R}}\) and \(M_\mathrm{E}\) can be diagonal without loss of the generality. It implies that \(y_{\Delta _\mathrm{R}}\) does not contribute to lepton flavor violations. Notice here that each of \(f_\mathrm{L(R)}\) and g should be antisymmetric and symmetric. We work on the basis where all the coefficients are real and positive for our brevity. After the left–right symmetry breaking, each of the scalar fields has nonzero mass. We parametrize these scalar fields by
where \(h_\mathrm{L}\) is the SM-like Higgs, and \(v_\mathrm{L}\) is related to the Fermi constant \(G_\mathrm{F}\) by \(v_\mathrm{L}^2=1/(\sqrt{2}G_\mathrm{F})\approx (246\) GeV)\(^2\). The VEVs of \(\Phi _\mathrm{L(R)}\) are derived from the conditions \(\partial \mathcal {V}/ \partial v_\mathrm{L} =0\), \(\partial \mathcal {V} / \partial v_\mathrm{R} =0\) and \(\partial {V}/\partial v_\Delta =0\) such that
In this paper we require \(v_\mathrm{R} \gg v_\mathrm{L} \), which can be obtained if we adopt \(m_{\Phi _\mathrm{R}}^2/\lambda _{\Phi _\mathrm{R}} \gg m_{\Phi _\mathrm{L}}^2/\lambda _{\Phi _\mathrm{L}}\) and choose rather small value of \(\lambda _\mathrm{LR}\). After the symmetry breaking, we have massive gauge bosons \(W_\mathrm{L(R)}^\pm \) and \(Z_\mathrm{L(R)}\) associated with left–right symmetry. Note that a neutral singlet scalar is required to obtain the desired symmetry breaking pattern in the model of Ref. [121], while we can realize the symmetry breaking due to the absence of exact left–right symmetry in the scalar potential.
The CP even Higgs boson mass matrix in the basis of (\(h_\mathrm{L}, h_\mathrm{R},\Delta _\mathrm{R}^{0}\)) is denoted by \((M^{2})_{\mathrm{CP}{\text {-}}\mathrm{even}}\), and it is diagonalized by 3 \(\times \) 3 orthogonal mixing matrix \(O_\mathrm{R}\) as \(O_\mathrm{R} (M^{2})_{\mathrm{CP}{\text {-}}\mathrm{even}} O_\mathrm{R}^\mathrm{T}=\) diag. \((m_{h_{1}}^2,m_{h_2}^2,m_{h_3}^2)\). Thus \(h_\mathrm{L(R)}\) and \(\Delta _\mathrm{R}^0\) are, respectively, given by
where \(h_1\equiv h_\mathrm{SM}\) is the SM Higgs and \(h_{2,3}\) are additional CP even Higgs mass eigenstates.
The CP odd component \(a_\mathrm{L}\) from \(\Phi _\mathrm{L}\) does not mix with the other CP odd components. Thus \(a_\mathrm{L}\) is the massless Nambu–Goldstone (NG) boson which is absorbed by \(Z_\mathrm{L}\) boson. The CP odd Higgs boson mass matrix in the basis of (\(\Delta _I^{ {0}}, a_\mathrm{R}^0\)) is denoted by \((M^{2})_{\mathrm{CP}{\text {-}}\mathrm{odd}}\), and it is diagonalized by 2 \(\times \) 2 orthogonal mixing matrix \(O_I\) as \(O_I (M^{2})_{\mathrm{CP}{\text {-}}\mathrm{odd}} O_I^\mathrm{T}=\) diag. \((m_{A_{1}}^2,m_{A_2}^2)\). Therefore \(a_\mathrm{R}\) and \(\Delta _I\) are given by
where only \(A_1\) should be massive, since \(A_2\) is absorbed by the \(Z_\mathrm{R}\) boson.
The singly charged scalar boson \(h^+\) does not mix with other charged scalar bosons. Thus it is the mass eigenstate with mass \(m_{h^\pm }\). Also the singly charged component \(\phi ^\pm _\mathrm{L}\) from \(\Phi _\mathrm{L}\) does not mix and it is the massless NG boson absorbed by \(W_\mathrm{L}^\pm \). The singly charged scalar boson mass matrix in the basis of \((\Delta ^\pm ,\phi _\mathrm{R}^\pm )\) is denoted by \((M^{2})_\mathrm{singly}\), and it is diagonalized by the 2 \(\times \) 2 unitary mixing matrix \(U_1\) as \(U_1 (M^{2})_\mathrm{singly} U_1^\dag =\) diag. \((m_{\phi ^\pm _{1}}^2,m_{\phi ^\pm _2}^2)\). Therefore \(\Delta ^\pm \) and \(\phi ^\pm _\mathrm{R}\) are given by
where \(m_{\phi ^\pm _2}^2\) should be zero, since \(\phi ^{\pm }_2\) is absorbed by \(W^\pm _\mathrm{R}\) boson. The doubly charged scalar boson \(\Delta ^{\pm \pm }\) is mass eigenstate with mass eigenvalue \(m_{\Delta ^{\pm \pm }} \simeq m_\Delta \).
2.2 Charged lepton sector
First of all, we define the isospin doublet fermions as \(L_\mathrm{L(R)}\equiv [\nu _\mathrm{L(R)},\ell _\mathrm{L(R)}]^\mathrm{T}\). The charged lepton mass matrix in the basis of \((\ell , E)\) can be given as
Then it can be diagonalized by bi-unitary mixing matrix \(V_\mathrm{L}\) and \(V_\mathrm{R}\) as \(V_\mathrm{L} M_\ell V^\mathrm{T}_\mathrm{R}=M_\mathrm{diag}\), where
Here we have used the assumption \(m_\mathrm{L},m_\mathrm{R}<< M_\mathrm{E}\). The resultant charged lepton mass squared is then given by
if we assume to be \(M_\mathrm{E}\approx v_\mathrm{R}\).
2.3 Neutrino sector
The neutral fermion mass matrix in the basis of \((\nu _\mathrm{L},\nu _\mathrm{R})\) is generated by
where \(m_{\nu _\mathrm{R}}\equiv y_{\Delta _\mathrm{R}}v_\Delta {/\sqrt{2}}=\mathrm{diag.} (m_{N_1},m_{N_2},m_{N_3})\),Footnote 3 and the Dirac fermion mass matrix \(m_\mathrm{D}\) is given by
where all the indices are summed over, and we define \((F_{L/R})^a_{ij}\equiv (U_1^\dag )_{1a}(f_{L/R})_{ij}\), \(Z_{a,\rho }\equiv \left( \frac{m_{h_\rho ^{\pm }} }{M_{E_a}}\right) ^2\), and assume to be \(m_\ell<< M_\mathrm{E}\). Therefore the active neutrino masses can be obtained at two-loop level through two types of the seesaw mechanisms (canonical seesaw with one-loop induced Dirac mass and its irreducible diagram [34]); \((\mathcal {M}_\nu )_{ab}\approx m_\mathrm{D} m_{\nu _\mathrm{R}}^{-1} m_\mathrm{D}^\mathrm{T}\).Footnote 4 Notice here that one of three neutrino masses is zero without loss of the generality, because the matrix rank of \((m_\mathrm{D})_{3\times 3}\) is two.
Then \((\mathcal {M}_\nu )_{ab}\) is diagonalized by the Maki–Nakagawa–Sakata mixing matrix \(V_\mathrm{MNS}\) (MNS) as
where we neglect the Dirac phase \(\delta \) as well as the Majorana phase in the numerical analysis for simplicity. We present the following neutrino oscillation data at 95% confidence level [124]:
where we assume normal ordering of the neutrino mass eigenstate in our analysis below; therefore \(m_{\nu _1}=0\).
2.4 Neutrinoless double beta decay
Here we discuss the non-standard contribution to the neutrinoless double beta decay. The relevant process arises from the same process of the standard interaction just by flipping the chirality \(L\rightarrow R\), and its formula is given by
where the first term in the left side equation is the contribution to the SM and the second term is the one of the new contribution. Furthermore we have used \(m_{W_\mathrm{L}}=g_\mathrm{L}v_\mathrm{L}/2\), \(m_{W_\mathrm{R}}=g_\mathrm{R}\sqrt{v_\mathrm{R}^2+2 v^2_{\Delta }}/2\), and the mixing among \(\nu _\mathrm{R}\)s is assumed to be diagonal for simplicity. When we adopt the typical bound \(m_{\beta \beta }\lesssim 0.29\) eV [125], we can estimate the upper bound on the mass of \(\nu _{\mathrm{R}_1}\) once the \(v_\mathrm{R}\) and \(v_{\Delta }\) are fixed. We will see a concrete discussion in the section of numerical analysis.
3 Phenomenology of the model
In this section, we discuss some phenomenologies in our model such as LFV, muon anomalous magnetic moment and DM. Then numerical analysis is carried out to search for allowed parameter space which is consistent with current experimental data.
3.1 Muon anomalous magnetic moment and Lepton flavor violations
The muon anomalous magnetic moment (muon \(g-2\)) has been measured at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The current average of muon \(g-2\) experimental results is found as [126]
Two discrepancy between the experimental data and the prediction in SM; \(\Delta a_{\mu }\equiv a^\mathrm{exp}_{\mu }-a^\mathrm{SM}_{\mu }\), have, respectively, been computed in Ref. [127] as
and in Ref. [128] as
In our model, we have new contributions to \(\Delta a_\mu \) coming from the Yukawa coupling of \(h_\mathrm{L(R)}\) and \(f_\mathrm{L(R)}\), and its contribution is given asFootnote 5
where we define \(H^a_{ij}\equiv \frac{(h_\mathrm{L})_{ij} (O_\mathrm{R}^\mathrm{T})_{1a}+ (h_\mathrm{R})_{ij} (O_\mathrm{R}^\mathrm{T})_{2a} }{2\sqrt{2}}\), \(H^{'a}_{ij}\equiv \frac{(O^\mathrm{T}_I)_{1a}(h_\mathrm{R})_{ij}}{\sqrt{2}}\), \(Y_{\alpha ,a}\equiv (m_{h_a^0}/M_{E_\alpha })^2\), \(Y'_{\alpha ,a}\equiv m^2_{A_a}/M^2_{E_\alpha }\), \(\left( Y_{\Delta _1}\right) _{a \alpha }\equiv (U_1^\dag )_{2a} (y_{\Delta _\mathrm{R}})_\alpha \), \(\epsilon _j^{(b)}\equiv (m_{\nu _{\mathrm{R}_j}}/m_{h^\pm _{(b)}})^2\) and we have assumed \(m_{{\nu _\mathrm{L}}}<< m_\ell<< \{ m_{{\nu _\mathrm{R}}} , M_\mathrm{E}, m_{h_a^0} ,m_{h^\pm _{(b)}} \}\). Note here that the contribution of \(\Delta a_\mu ^\Delta \) is negligibly small because of the small mixing.
Lepton flavor violation processes (LFVs) \(\ell _i\rightarrow \ell _j\gamma \) and \(\ell _i^-\rightarrow \ell _j^-\ell _k^+\ell ^-_\ell \) at the one-loop level are measured precisely and severely constrained. Each of flavor dependent process has to satisfy the current upper bound, as can be seen in Tables 3 and 4. The branching ratio (BR) for the \(\ell _i\rightarrow \ell _j\gamma \) can be written as
where \(C_i\approx (1,1/5)\) for \(i=(\mu ,\tau )\) [131], \(\mathrm{G_\mathrm{F}}\) is Fermi constant, and \(\alpha _\mathrm{em}\) is the fine-structure constant. On the other hand, the BR for the process \(\ell _i^-\rightarrow \ell _j^-\ell _k^+\ell ^-_\ell \) is given by
where the numerical factors \(\{A, B, C, D\}\) come from box loop diagrams in which \(E_\alpha \) and \(h_a\) are running while the other factors come from box loop diagrams with \(E_\alpha \), \(h_a\) and \(A_a\) running inside the loop; the explicit forms of these factors are given in Appendix B. Note that the LFV decay ratios are determined by the Yukawa couplings \(h_\mathrm{L(R)}\) and \(f_\mathrm{L(R)}\) which also appear in our neutrino mass formula Eq. (2.15) indicating the correlation between LFV and neutrino mass matrix.
3.2 Dark matter
We consider a fermionic DM candidate \(X(\equiv \nu _{\mathrm{R}_1})\), which is assumed to be the lightest particle of \(\nu _{\mathrm{R}_{i}}\). Since DM can decay into neutrinos and photon through the Dirac mass term at the one-loop level, DM has to be long-lived. Hence we focus on the explanation of the X-ray line at 3.55 keV, since X decays into active neutrinos and photon at the one-loop level after the symmetry breaking. Then the mass of DM \(M_X(\equiv M_{\nu _{\mathrm{R}_1}})\) is fixed to be around 7.1 keV with a small value of the decay rate divided by \(M_X\); i.e., \(4.8\times 10^{-48}\lesssim \frac{\Gamma (X\rightarrow \nu _k\gamma )}{M_X}\lesssim 4.6\times 10^{-46}\) [134].Footnote 6 We also note that such a DM candidate will be over-abundant if one estimates thermal relic density through the gauge interactions. However, this problem can be evaded by the entropy production due to the late decay of \(\nu _{R_{2,3}}\) [132, 133]. In our analysis, we assume the right relic density can be obtained by this mechanism and the constraints on the decay rate of DM is taken into account. Then the decay rate is derived as
where we define \(a\equiv (M_X/m_{h^\pm })^2\), \(b_j\equiv (m_{\ell _j}/m_{h^\pm })^2\), under the assumption \(M_X,m_{\nu _\mathrm{L}}<<m_\ell ,m_{h^\pm }\).
Thus the decay ratio is correlated to neutrino mass matrix, \(\Delta a_\mu \) and LFV through the Yukawa coupling \(f_\mathrm{L(R)}\).
3.3 Collider physics
Here we discuss the signature of our model at the LHC 13 TeV. Then we focus on the doubly charged Higgs boson \(\Delta ^{\pm \pm }\), which decays into the same sign lepton pair with right-handed chirality. Particularly the process \(pp \rightarrow Z_\mathrm{R} \rightarrow \Delta ^{++} \Delta ^{--}\) is interesting since it provides clear four lepton signal where invariant masses of same sign leptons and of four leptons respectively give mass of \(\Delta ^{\pm \pm }\) and \(m_{Z_\mathrm{R}}\).Footnote 7 This is unlikely to neither the type II seesaw scenario nor the Zee–Babu type case with \(k^{++}e^c_\mathrm{R} e_\mathrm{R}\), because the type II decay mode comes from the left–handed chirality, and the Zee–Babu type doubly charged Higgs is produced via gauge interaction with only \(U(1)_Y\). Furthermore each of the component \(y_{\Delta _\mathrm{R}}\) can be determined through the neutrino oscillation data, CLFVs processes, and DM phenomenology such as X-ray line search. Thus we expect that collider signature further test the structure of the Yukawa coupling.
The gauge interactions associated with \(Z_\mathrm{R}\) are written as [135, 136]
where Q is electric charge, \(Q_{B-L}\) is \(U(1)_{B-L}\) charge, \(c_M \equiv \cos \theta _M = \tan \theta _W g_\mathrm{L}/g_\mathrm{R}\), \(s_M \equiv \sin \theta _M\), and \(g_\mathrm{R}\) is \(SU(2)_\mathrm{R}\) gauge coupling. Then we estimate the production cross section of \(Z_\mathrm{R}\) and its branching ratio (BR) with CalcHEP [137] implementing the interaction and applying CTEQ6L PDF [138]. In Fig. 1, we show \(\sigma (pp \rightarrow Z_\mathrm{R}) BR(Z_\mathrm{R} \rightarrow \ell ^+ \ell ^-)\) and \(\sigma (pp \rightarrow Z_\mathrm{R}) BR(Z_\mathrm{R} \rightarrow \Delta ^{++} \Delta ^{--})\) as a function of \(m_{Z_\mathrm{R}}\) for several values of \(r \equiv g_\mathrm{R}/g_\mathrm{L}\) with fixed doubly charged Higgs mass \(m_\Delta = 1\) TeV where constraint on \(\sigma (pp \rightarrow Z_\mathrm{R}) BR(Z_\mathrm{R} \rightarrow \ell ^+ \ell ^-)\) from LHC experiment is indicated by red curve [139]. We find that \(Z_\mathrm{R}\) should be heavier than around 3.5 TeV where the lower mass limit depends on r. Note here that this result does not depend on doubly charged Higgs mass strongly if it is lighter than \(m_{Z_\mathrm{R}}/2\) sufficiently. The doubly charged Higgs pair production cross section via \(Z_\mathrm{R}\) is given as \(\sim \{0.28, 0.11, 0.045\}\)[fb] for \(r = \{1.2, 1.0, 0.8\}\) with \(m_{Z_\mathrm{R}} = 4\) TeV. Thus O(10)–O(100) number of events can be obtained with luminosity of \(\sim 100\)–300 fb\(^{-1}\) for \(r \ge 1\) while number of events is smaller for \(r< 1\). Therefore we can test our model at the LHC with sufficient luminosity since the four lepton final state gives clear signal, and structure of the Yukawa coupling \(y_{\Delta _\mathrm{R}}\) would be investigated by measuring the BR of \(\Delta ^{\pm \pm }\). The detailed simulation analysis including SM background is beyond the scope of our paper and it will be investigated in future work.
3.4 Numerical analysis
Now that all the formulas have been provided, we carry out numerical analysis to search for parameter region satisfying all the constraints. First of all, we fix the following parameters in the scalar sector:
Before discussing the numerical analysis, we comment on the neutrinoless double beta decay. Once we apply these above values, we can estimate the neutrinoless double beta decay as
where non-standard contribution is about \(\mathcal{O}(10^{-5})\) meV. It suggests that it satisfies the experimental bound on \(m_{\beta \beta }\lesssim 0.29\) eV, as discussed before. Then we have 26 free parameters (see Appendix A) and randomly select the values of these parameters within the following ranges:
which are found as the preferred parameter range to satisfy the constraints.
Then we have examined \(10^6\) sampling points to investigate how much parameter space is allowed. We find 311 points that satisfy the current LFV constraints and the neutrino oscillation data. Figure 2 shows the correlation between \(\Delta a_{\mu }\) and \(\frac{\Gamma (X\rightarrow \nu _k\gamma )}{M_X}\) where a red point represents negative \(\Delta a_{\mu }\) and the blue points represent positive \(\Delta a_{\mu }\). The DM decay rate can satisfy the experimental data (16 points) if the points are within the line between the two black horizontal lines in Fig. 2. On the other hand, the discrepancy of muon \(g-2\) from SM is at most the order \({10^{-11}}\), which is too small to explain the experimental data by the order 0.01 magnitude. This is because there exist more negative contributions in Eqs. (III.5–7) than the positive contribution in Eqs. (III.4). But a future experiment might verify the scale.
4 Conclusions
We have studied a radiative seesaw model based on a \(SU(2)_\mathrm{L} \times SU(2)_\mathrm{R} \times U(1)_\mathrm{B-L}\) symmetry, where the neutrino mass matrix is induced at two-loop level. Then we have formulated masses in lepton sector, lepton flavor violating decay ratios, muon \(g-2\), and the decay rate of the long-lived dark matter. Due to the antisymmetric Yukawa couplings contributing to the active neutrino mass and absence of \(\Delta _\mathrm{L}\), a zero mass eigenstate (with two massive) is predicted, and (a long-lived) dark matter candidate can be accommodated in our model. Then we have carried out a numerical analysis to search for the parameter space which is consistent with all the experimental constraints, and correlation between \(\Delta a_\mu \) and \(\Gamma (X \rightarrow \nu _k \gamma )/M_X\) for the allowed parameter set is depicted in Fig. 2, in which the red points represent negative \(\Delta a_{\mu }\) and the blue points represent positive \(\Delta a_{\mu }\). The DM decay rate satisfies the experimental data (16 points) if the points are within the line between the two black horizontal lines. On the other hand, the discrepancy of muon \(g-2\) from SM is at most the order \({10^{-11}}\) that is too small to explain the current experimental data by the order 0.01 magnitude, since there exists only a positive contribution to be compared with three negative contributions. But a future experiment might verify the scale.
Our model also could be tested at collider experiments by searching for exotic charged particles such as heavy leptons and doubly/singly charged Higgs bosons. These particles would be produced via electroweak interactions at the LHC when their masses are O(100) GeV to O(1) TeV. Then we have analyzed doubly charged Higgs production via the process \(pp \rightarrow Z_\mathrm{R} \rightarrow \Delta ^{++} \Delta ^{--}\) at the LHC where doubly charged Higgs decays into two same sign leptons providing clear signals from four lepton final states. The production cross section is estimated as \(\sim 0.05\)–0.3 fb for \(m_{Z_\mathrm{R}} = 4\) TeV depending on value of the ratio of \(SU(2)_\mathrm{L(R)}\) gauge couplings, and we can obtain around 10 to 100 number of events with luminosity of O(100) fb\(^{-1}\). Thus we can test the signature of our model and structure of Yukawa coupling for \(\Delta _\mathrm{R}\) and right-handed charged leptons could be tested by measuring branching ratio of doubly charged Higgs. The detailed analysis including SM background will be left as future work.
Notes
The left–right symmetry can smoothly be extended to larger groups, such as SO(10) symmetry, which is typically realized at a higher scale such as in grand unified theories.
The paper also discusses the quark sector.
Our main motivation to introduce the \(SU(2)_\mathrm{R}\) triplet boson \(\Delta _\mathrm{R}\) is to formulate the seesaw neutrino mass matrix appropriately. Actually even if \(\Delta _\mathrm{R}\) is not introduced, a rather heavier right-handed neutrino mass matrix \(m_{\nu _\mathrm{R}}\) can be induced at the two-loop level by increasing the scale of \(v_\mathrm{R}\). However, we cannot define the inverse of the seesaw neutrino mass matrix, because the matrix rank is reduced by one. Therefore, the seesaw formula does not work well.
The loop function with the irreducible diagram is usually smaller than the one with the canonical seesaw diagram [68]. Thus we consider the canonical seesaw type model only.
Useful formulas for the muon \(g-2\) can be found in Ref. [129].
This bound is derived from \(\sin ^22\theta = (2-20)\times 10^{-11}\).
The doubly charged Higgs pair can be produced via \(\gamma \) and Z exchange in s-channel. In this paper, we do not discuss these production processes since they are small as \(< 0.1\) fb for TeV scale doubly charged Higgs and signal is less significant due to absence of peak in invariant mass of four leptons.

Appendix A: Yukawa couplings
In this section, we discuss the structure of Yukawa couplings of our model. Our neutrino masses are obtained by \((\mathcal {M}_\nu )_{ab}\approx m_\mathrm{D} m_{\nu _\mathrm{R}}^{-1} m_\mathrm{D}^\mathrm{T}\), where \(m_{\nu _\mathrm{R}}=y_{\Delta _\mathrm{R}} v_\Delta \) and \(m_\mathrm{D}\) is given by Eq. (2.15). Using the Casas–Ibarra parametrization, the \(m_\mathrm{D}\) is written by
where \(U_{MNS}\) is the MNS matrix, \(m_i\)’s are neutrino masses, O is a complex orthogonal matrix. O is parametrized by three complex parameters: \(\alpha _1\), \(\alpha _2\), \(\alpha _3\).
Generally, a matrix M is factorized by the following form:
where D is diagonal matrix and L(U) is upper (lower) triangular matrix with unit diagonal components. The factorization is called the LDU decomposition. We can factorize \(m_\mathrm{D}\) using the LDU decomposition as follows:
where \(L_\mathrm{D}\equiv LD^\frac{1}{2}=F_\mathrm{L} h_\mathrm{L} Z_\mathrm{D}^\frac{1}{2}\), \(U_\mathrm{D}\equiv {D^\frac{1}{2}U}=(F_\mathrm{R} h_\mathrm{R} Z_\mathrm{D}^\frac{1}{2})^\mathrm{T}\) and the diagonal matrix \(Z_\mathrm{D}\) is written by
We assume \(F_\mathrm{L} h_\mathrm{L}\) and \(F_\mathrm{R} h_\mathrm{R}\) are lower triangular matrices. The components of \(F_\mathrm{L(R)}\) and \(h_\mathrm{L(R)}\) are written in the following form:
In this case, \(F_{\mathrm{L(R)}} h_{\mathrm{L(R)}}\) becomes a lower triangular matrix:
\(l_{\mathrm{L(R)}_{ij}}\) are determined by neutrino oscillation experiments. Therefore we have eight free parameters: \(h_{\mathrm{L(R)}_{11}}\), \(h_{\mathrm{L(R)}_{12}}\), \(h_{\mathrm{L(R)}_{13}}\) and \(F_{\mathrm{L(R)}_{23}}\).
Appendix B Loop factors for \(\ell _i^- \rightarrow \ell _j^- \ell _k^+ \ell _\ell ^-\)
Here we summarize the loop factors appearing in the formula of lepton flavor violating decay \(\ell _i^- \rightarrow \ell _j^- \ell _k^+ \ell _\ell ^-\) in Eq. (3.12).
Here the factors \(\{a,b,\ldots ,h\}\) have been defined as
where we define the coupling factors \(H^a_{ij}\equiv \frac{(h_\mathrm{L})_{ij} (O_\mathrm{R}^\mathrm{T})_{1a}+ (h_\mathrm{R})_{ij} (O_\mathrm{R}^\mathrm{T})_{2a} }{2\sqrt{2}}\) and \(H^{'a}_{ij}\equiv \frac{(O^\mathrm{T}_I)_{1a}(h_\mathrm{R})_{ij}}{\sqrt{2}}\), \(\int \mathrm{d}X\equiv \int _0^1\mathrm{d}x_1 \mathrm{d}x_2\mathrm{d}x_3\mathrm{d}x_4\delta (x_1+x_2+x_3+x_4-1)\).
