  • Radiative neutrino mass models: Zee-, Babu-Zee model, etc.
  • RPC Supersymmetry
  • RPV Supersymmetry
  • Practically any extended Higgs sector:

Little Higgs models, additional Higgs doublets, triplets, etc...

  • Extra (large) dimensions

Conclusions

⇒ lepton flavour is violated - neutrino oscillations ⇒ all (active) neutrino angles have been measured ⇒ ∆m2

ij known with precission

⇒ Since 2012 all active neutrino angles measured ⇒ CP-violation not yet proven experimentally ⇒ lepton number violation? - neutrinless double beta decay
