LHC Implications

  • Weak scale BSM physics (e.g., SUSY) is there but

challenging for the hadronic collider

  • BSM physics is there but a bit heavy (some fine tuning)
  • We are thinking about the problem incorrectly

(cosmological constant???)

Lecture II Summary

  • Origin of neutrino mass is a key open problem in

fundamental interaction physics

  • There exist a wide array of well-motivated models that

address it with sensitivities to a variety of BSM mass scales

  • These scenarios may also address other key open

problems, such as the origin of the matter-antimatter asymmetry

  • The corresponding implications for 0νββ-decay are rich

and go well beyond the simplest “standard mechanism” expectations
