Seesaw Mechanism
A natural way to generate neutrino masses. Break the (B − L)-symmetry of the SM. Parametrized by the dim-5 operator (LLHH)/Λ. [Weinberg (PRL ’79)] Three tree-level realizations: Type I, II, III seesaw mechanisms.

Generically predict lepton number and/or (charged) lepton flavor violation. Pertinent question in the LHC era: Can we probe the seesaw mechanism at the LHC (or future colliders)? Experimentally feasible if the seesaw scale is (in)directly accessible.

Similar naturalness arguments in the context of neutral top partners [Batell, McCullough (PRD
’15)] and warped seesaw [Agashe, Hong, Vecchi (PRD ’16)] also predict a low seesaw scale.

One example: [Kersten, Smirnov (PRD ’07)] MD =
m1 δ1 ǫ1 m2 δ2 ǫ2 m3 δ3 ǫ3
and MN =
M1 M1 M2
with ǫi, δi ≪ mi. In the limit ǫi, δi → 0, all three light neutrino masses vanish at tree-level, while the mixing given by Vij ∼ mi/Mj can still be large. The textures can be stabilized by invoking discrete symmetries. [Kersten, Smirnov (PRD
’07); BD, Lee, Mohapatra (PRD ’13)]
But LNV is suppressed, as generically expected due to constraints from neutrino
- scillation data and 0νββ. [Abada, Biggio, Bonnet, Gavela, Hambye (JHEP ’07); Ibarra, Molinaro, Petcov
(JHEP ’10); Fernandez-Martinez, Hernandez-Garcia, Lopez-Pavon, Lucente (JHEP ’15)]
An Exception

Light Scalar as a New Probe of Seesaw
The CP-even neutral triplet component H0
3 can be light (GeV-scale).
Suppressed coupling to SM particles (either loop-level or small mixing). FCNC constraints necessarily require it to be long-lived. Unique displaced diphoton signal at the LHC.

Falsifying Leptogenesis
Any observation of LNV signal at the LHC will falsify high-scale leptogenesis.
