Date and Time: Thursday, 2 November 2017, at 10:30 AM

Venue: Conference Hall, Dzhelepov Laboratory of Nuclear Problems

Lecture course topic: «Introduction to neutrino mass models»

Speaker: Igor Ivanov (Instituto Superior Tecnico, Lisbon, Portugal)

Lecture 5. Classification of various seesaw models, historical examples, “master formula”

Lecture 6. Spontaneous vs explicit breaking of lepton number and consequences

Abstract:

Igor Ivanov (CFTP, Instituto Superior Tecnico, Lisbon) will give at DLNP a lecture course on neutrino mass models. The lectures will start with basics on Dirac and Majorana neutrinos and their mass terms and will proceed with various tree-level and radiative examples of the seesaw mechanism. Then, after a gentle introduction to the theory of finite groups, an example will be shown of how symmetry-based lepton sectors shape the PMNS mixing matrix.
