Abstract We consider a class of models in which the neutrinos acquire Majorana masses through mixing with singlet neutrinos that emerge as composite states of a strongly coupled hidden sector. In this framework, the light neutrinos are partially composite particles that obtain their masses through the inverse seesaw mechanism. We focus on the scenario in which the strong dynamics is approximately conformal in the ultraviolet, and the compositeness scale lies at or below the weak scale. The small parameters in the Lagrangian necessary to realize the observed neutrino masses can naturally arise as a consequence of the scaling dimensions of operators in the conformal field theory. We show that this class of models has interesting implications for a wide variety of experiments, including colliders and beam dumps, searches for lepton flavor violation and neutrinoless double beta decay, and cosmological observations. At colliders and beam dumps, this scenario can give rise to striking signals involving multiple displaced vertices. The exchange of hidden sector states can lead to observable rates for flavor violating processes such as μ → eγ and μ → e conversion. If the compositeness scale lies at or below a hundred MeV, the rate for neutrinoless double beta decay is suppressed by form factors and may be reduced by an order of magnitude or more. The late decays of relic singlet neutrinos can give rise to spectral distortions in the cosmic microwave background that are large enough to be observed in future experiments.

We calculate the beta decay rate of the free neutron including effects due to (i) a neutrino mass around 1 eV, (ii) deviations from the leptonic V-A structure, (iii) nucleon form factors [Formula: see text], GA(q2), and (iv) W- propagation. At the end-point energies linear neutrino mass effects in [Formula: see text] are almost exclusively kinematical. If the neutrino spectrum is (almost) degenerate, neutrino oscillations cannot uniquely determine the mass of the neutrino, and direct mass determinations become necessary. The traditional Kurie plot and a partially integrated decay rate are found to be sensitive to a neutrino mass between 1 eV and 3 eV.
