Strategies to link tiny neutrino masses with huge missing mass of the Universe

TL;DR

This paper reviews two models at the electroweak scale that connect tiny neutrino masses with the universe's missing mass, exploring their implications for collider experiments, dark matter searches, and rare decay processes.

Contribution

It introduces and analyzes two specific models that simultaneously explain neutrino masses and dark matter, linking particle physics with cosmological observations.

Findings

Models are consistent with current LHC data

Predictions include detectable signals in LFV decays

Implications for dark matter detection experiments

Abstract

With the start of the LHC, interest in electroweak scale models for the neutrino mass has grown. In this letter, we review two specific models that simultaneously explain neutrino masses and provide a suitable DM candidate. We discuss the implications of these models for various observations and experiments including the LHC, Lepton Flavor Violating (LFV) rare decays, direct and indirect dark matter searches and Kaon decay.
