Predictive Model of Radiative Neutrino Masses

Abstract

We present a simple and predictive model of radiative neutrino masses. It is a special case of the Zee model which introduces two Higgs doublets and a charged singlet. We impose a family-dependent Z_4 symmetry acting on the leptons, which reduces the number of parameters describing neutrino oscillations to four. A variety of predictions follow: The hierarchy of neutrino masses must be inverted; the lightest neutrino mass is extremely small and calculable; one of the neutrino mixing angles is determined in terms of the other two; the phase parameters take CP-conserving values with δ_{CP} = π; and the effective mass in neutrinoless double beta decay lies in a narrow range, m_{ββ} = (17.6 - 18.5) meV. The ratio of vacuum expectation values of the two Higgs doublets, tanβ, is determined to be either 1.9 or 0.19 from neutrino oscillation data. Flavor-conserving and flavor-changing couplings of the Higgs doublets are also determined from neutrino data. The non-standard neutral Higgs bosons, if they are moderately heavy, decay dominantly into μand τwith prescribed branching ratios. Observable rates for the decays μ\to e γand τ\to 3μare predicted if these scalars have masses in the range of 150-500 GeV.
