Minimal Tree-Level Seesaws with a Heavy Intermediate Fermion
read the original abstract
There exists a generic minimal tree-level diagram, with two external scalars and a heavy intermediate fermion, that can generate naturally small neutrino masses via a seesaw. This diagram has a mass insertion on the internal fermion line, and the set of such diagrams can be partitioned according to whether the mass insertion is of the Majorana or Dirac type. We show that, once subjected to the demands of naturalness (i.e. precluding small scalar vacuum expectation values that require fine-tuning), this set is finite, and contains a relatively small number of elements. Some of the corresponding models have appeared in the literature. We present the remaining original models, thus generalizing the Type-I and Type-III seesaws, and apparently exhausting the list of their minimal non-tuned variants.

Thermal Leptogenesis in the BNT Model of Neutrino Mass
In the BNT neutrino-mass model, thermal leptogenesis can explain the observed baryon asymmetry with triplet masses above roughly 3.5e7 GeV in the hierarchical case and as low as 1.7 TeV with resonant enhancement.
