The Scotogenic model is an economical scenario that generates neutrino masses at the 1-loop level and includes a dark matter candidate. This is achieved by means of an ad-hoc symmetry, which forbids the tree-level generation of neutrino masses and stabilizes the lightest -odd state. Neutrino masses are also suppressed by a quartic coupling, usually denoted by . While the smallness of this parameter is natural, it is not explained in the context of the Scotogenic model. We construct an ultraviolet completion of the Scotogenic model that provides a natural explanation for the smallness of the parameter and induces the parity as the low-energy remnant of a global symmetry at high energies. The low-energy spectrum contains, besides the usual Scotogenic states, a massive scalar and a massless Goldstone boson, hence leading to novel phenomenological predictions in flavor observables, dark matter physics and colliders.

Scotogenic 模型的紫外线完成
Scotogenic 模型是一个经济的场景,它在 1 环水平上产生中微子质量,并包括一个暗物质候选者。这是通过一个特别的 对称性,禁止中微子质量的树级生成并稳定最轻的中微子 - 奇怪的状态。中微子质量也被四次耦合抑制,通常表示为. 虽然这个参数的小是自然的,但它没有在 Scotogenic 模型的背景下解释。我们构建了 Scotogenic 模型的紫外线完成,为 参数并诱导 平价作为全球低能源残余 高能对称。除了通常的 Scotogenic 状态之外,低能谱还包含一个巨大的标量和一个无质量的戈德斯通玻色子,因此导致了味道可观测、暗物质物理学和对撞机方面的新现象学预测。
