Phenomenology of the Higgs sector of a Dimension-7 Neutrino Mass Generation Mechanism
read the original abstract
In this paper, we revisit the dimension-7 neutrino mass generation mechanism based on the addition of an isospin $3/2$ scalar quadruplet and two vector-like iso-triplet leptons to the standard model. We discuss the LHC phenomenology of the charged scalars of this model, complemented by the electroweak precision and lepton flavor violation constraints. We pay particular attention to the triply charged and doubly charged components. We focus on the same-sign-tri-lepton signatures originating from the triply-charged scalars and find a discovery reach of 600 - 950 GeV at 3 ab$^{-1}$ of integrated luminosity at the LHC. On the other hand, doubly charged Higgs has been an object of collider searches for a long time, and we show how the present bounds on its mass depend on the particle spectrum of the theory. Strong constraint on the model parameter space can arise from the measured decay rate of the Standard Model Higgs to a pair of photons as well.

Vacuum structure of the Babu-Nandi-Tavartkiladze model of neutrino mass generation
In the BNT neutrino mass model the electroweak vacuum is not generically the global minimum, with stability reducible to two mass inequalities when the quadruplet vev vanishes.
