Charges that are sources of fields must be universally conserved. Any quantity which is proved to be violated in certain circumstance cannot be a source of field. To account for the asymmetry of our Universe baryon number A has to be violated; thus A cannot be a charge. We postulate a new interaction, matter creation, with (A–L) as charge and Z * as messenger. Conservation of (A–L) instead of (3A–L) suggested by Sakharov is deduced on the one hand from observational facts (our Universe is both material and neutral) and on the other hand from the generalized Gell-Mann and Nishijima formula. Conservation of (A–L) forbids neutrinoless double beta decay and neutron antineutron oscillations. The union of four interactions — electromagnetism, the MC interaction, the weak interaction and the strong interaction — considered as the product U(1) × U(1) × SU(2) × SU(3) would account for available experimental and observational data. Observation of processes violating baryon number conservation would be of great interest in falsifying this suggestion.

An electrically charged particle is necessarily different from its antiparticle while an electrically neutral particle is either identical with or different from its antiparticle. A truly neutral particle is a particle identical to its antiparticle, which means that all its algebraic intrinsic properties are equal to zero since particle and antiparticle have all their algebraic intrinsic properties opposite. We propose two complementary methods to recognize the true nature of any electrically neutral particle. On the one hand, any non-null algebraic intrinsic property of a particle (properties such as Q, magnetic moment already known from classical physics, or quantum numbers such as baryonic number A, lepton number L or flavors, which are meaningful only in the quantum world) reveals that it is distinct from its antiparticle. On the other hand, any particle decaying through a self-conjugate channel or/and through both two conjugate channels is a truly neutral particle implying then that all algebraic intrinsic properties, known or yet unknown, of this particle are null. According to these methods, the neutrino, like any fermion, cannot be its own antiparticle, so neutrinoless double beta decay cannot take place in nature. We point out the internal contradiction required by the existence of hypothetical neutrinoless double beta decay. We suggest that persistent failure to find experimental evidence for this decay mechanism despite huge efforts dedicated to this aim is consistent with the physics of this process. The immediate consequence would be that limits of neutrino mass deduced from neutrinoless double beta decay cannot be used as constraints in contrast with mass limits deduced from the behavior of the end-point in simple beta spectra.

We discuss the linkage between dark matter mass in the one-loop radiative seesaw model and the effective neutrino mass for the neutrinoless double beta decay. This linkage, which has been already numerically suggested, is confirmed to be a reasonable relationship by deriving analytical expressions for two zero flavor neutrino mass texture.

We conduct a detailed analysis of the phenomenology of two predictive see-saw scenarios which lead to the Quark-Lepton Complementarity relation θ12+θC = π/4. The neutrino mixing observables and their correlations, neutrinoless double beta decay, lepton flavor violating decays such as μ → eγ and leptogenesis are discussed. The features which allow to distinguish the scenarios are identified.
