Inverse seesaw in supersymmetry (1011.3621v2)
Abstract: We study a mechanism where tiny neutrino masses arise only from radiative contribution in a supersymmetric model. In each generation, the tree-level light neutrino mass is rotated away by introducing a second SM singlet $s_{L}$ that forms a Dirac mass term with the right-handed neutrino $n_{R}$. Even with non-zero Majorana neutrino mass for the right-handed neutrinos $M_{R} \bar{n{c}_{R}} n_{R}$, the lightest neutrino remains massless at tree level due to an approximate symmetry as $U(1){\nu-s}$. Holomorphic feature of superpotential ensures that the Majorana neutrino masses $M{R} \bar{n{c}_{R}} n_{R}$ and $M{*}_{R} \bar{s{c}_{L}} s_{L}$ are not generated simultaneously. However, the $U(1){\nu-s}$ is not respected by the SM gauge interactions or interaction with Higgs. Consequently, tiny neutrino masses arise from radiative contributions. It is also shown that the right-handed neutrino Majorana mass $M{R}$ can be at $\cal O$(KeV) to obtain the proper light neutrino mass.
