Description
The Mini-Seesaw mechanism combines naturally suppressed Dirac and (sterile) Majorana mass scales together in a low-scale seesaw to achieve light Standard Model neutrino masses. A key feature of this approach is the existence of a tower of light sterile neutrinos, all of which can mix with the Standard Model. We will detail this mechanism and discuss the prospects for observing the light sterile modes.
