Very recently novel implementation of type-II seesaw mechanism for neutrino mass has been proposed in SU(5) grand unified theory with a number of desirable new physical phenomena beyond the standard model. Introducing heavy right-handed neutrinos and extra fermion singlets, in this work we show how the type-I seesaw cancellation mechanism works in this SU(5) framework. Besides predicting verifiable LFV decays, we further show that the model predicts dominant double beta decay with normal hierarchy or inverted hierarchy of active light neutrino masses in concordance with cosmological bound. In addition a novel right-handed neutrino mass generation mechanism, independent of type-II seesaw predicted mass hierarchy, is suggested in this work.

One of the main purposes of SHiP experiment is to shed light on neutrino mass generation mechanisms like the so-called seesaw. We consider a minimal type-I seesaw neutrino mass mechanism model with two heavy neutral leptons (right-handed or sterile neutrinos) with arbitrary masses. Extremely high active-sterile mixing angle requires a correlation between the phases of the Dirac neutrino couplings. Actual experimental limits on the half-life of neutrinoless double beta decay [Formula: see text]-rate on the active-sterile mixing angle are not significative in constraining the masses or the mixing measurable by SHiP.

Neutrino-less Double Beta Decay is the only known way to possibly resolve the nature of neutrino mass. The chances to cover the mass region predicted by the inverted hierarchy require a step forward in detector capability. A possibility is to make use of scintillating bolometers. These devices shall have a great power in distinguishing signals from alfa particles from those induced by electrons. This feature might lead to an almost background-free experiment. Here the Lucifer concept will be introduced and the prospects related to this project will be discussed.

The vacuum stability condition of the Standard Model (SM) Higgs potential with mass in the range of 124–127 GeV puts an upper bound on the Dirac mass of the neutrinos. We study this constraint with the right-handed neutrino masses up to TeV scale. The heavy neutrinos contribute to ΔL = 2 processes like neutrinoless double beta decay and same-sign-dilepton (SSD) production in the colliders. The vacuum stability criterion also restricts the light-heavy neutrino mixing and constrains the branching ratio (BR) of lepton flavor-violating process, like μ→eγ mediated by the heavy neutrinos. We show that neutrinoless double beta decay with a lifetime ~1025 years can be observed if the lightest heavy neutrino mass is <4.5 TeV. We show that the vacuum stability condition and the experimental bound on μ→e γ together put a constrain on heavy neutrino mass MR>3.3 TeV. Finally we show that the observation of SSDs associated with jets at the LHC needs much larger luminosity than available at present. We have estimated the possible maximum cross-section for this process at the LHC and show that with an integrated luminosity 100 fb-1 it may be possible to observe the SSD signals as long as MR < 400 GeV.
