We derive a model-independent upper bound on the scale of Majorana-neutrino mass generation. The upper bound is [Formula: see text], where v ≃246 GeV is the weak scale and mν is the Majorana-neutrino mass. For neutrino masses implied by neutrino oscillation experiments, all but one of these bounds are less than the Planck scale, and they are all within a few orders of magnitude of the grand-unification scale.

AbstractWe consider the four neutrino oscillation that accommodate the all neutrino oscillation data. We consider the range of the corresponding mixing parameters by the result of neutrino oscillation experiments. Implicaion of the neutrino oscillation search for the neutrino mass square difference and mixing are discussed. We determine the possible values of the effective majorana neutrino mass $|<m>|=|{\sum }_{j}U_{ej}^{2}m_{j}|$ | < m > | = | ∑ j U e j 2 m j | in the four neutrino scenario. In the four-neutrino scheme there is an upper bound on | < m > | of the normal mass order is 2.0074eV for α = 0∘,β = 0∘andγ = 0∘. In the case of inverted mass order the upper bound on | < m > | is 2.0069eV for α = 0∘,β = 0∘andγ = 0∘.

Abstract Building UV completions of lepton-number-violating effective operators has proved to be a useful way of studying and classifying models of Majorana neutrino mass. In this paper we describe and implement an algorithm that systematises this model-building procedure. We use the algorithm to generate computational representations of all of the tree-level completions of the operators up to and including mass-dimension 11. Almost all of these correspond to models of radiative neutrino mass. Our work includes operators involving derivatives, updated estimates for the bounds on the new-physics scale associated with each operator, an analysis of various features of the models, and a look at some examples. We find that a number of operators do not admit any completions not also generating lower-dimensional operators or larger contributions to the neutrino mass, ruling them out as playing a dominant role in the neutrino-mass generation. Additionally, we show that there are at most five models containing three or fewer exotic multiplets that predict new physics that must lie below 100 TeV. Accompanying this work we also make available a searchable database containing all of our results and the code used to find the completions. We emphasise that our methods extend beyond the study of neutrino-mass models, and may be useful for generating completions of high-dimensional operators in other effective field theories. Example code: ref. [37].
