Neutrino masses from SUSY: Different contributions and their implications

Pramana Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

We discuss the various sources of neutrino masses in supersymmetric standard models with explicit lepton number violation. We show that the bilinear lepton number violating soft terms in models with either bilinear or trilinear lepton number violating couplings in the superpotential, play an important role in determining the neutrino mass spectrum. A comparative study of the neutrino mass spectrum and its implications for the present neutrino anomalies in these models is presented.

  • We have also assumed that the parameters appearing in the eq. (27) to be generation independent. Such an approximation allows us to study the structure of neutrino masses analytically and their impact on the conclusions based on this approximation is not expected to be significant
