Determining neutrino mass hierarchy in an extended Left-Right model

Abstract

We derive the lower bound on absolute scale of lightest neutrino mass for normal hierarchy and inverted hierarchy pattern of light neutrinos by studying the new physics contributions to charged lepton flavour violating decays and neutrinoless double beta decay in the framework of a TeV scale left-right symmetric model. Neutrino mass is generated in the model via type-II seesaw dominance with the help of a heavy sterile neutrino. This scenario allows large light-heavy neutrino mixing and the mixing facilitates new channels for neutrinoless double beta decay and lepton flavour violating decays. We express all the model parameters in terms of oscillation parameters in order to constrain light neutrino mass scale and extract information on neutrino mass hierarchy.
