SUMMARY:On the Origin of Neutrino Mass and  Experimental  Searches - Manim

DESCRIPTION:Proof of neutrino masses and mixing from a series of outstandi
 ng experimental efforts have opened a window to physics beyond the standar
 d model of particle physics. There are well-defined underlying theories  w
 hich explain the tiny electron volt neutrino masses. It is  well known tha
 t Seesaw mechanism has its success in explaining the smallness of neutrino
  mass. In this talk\, I will discuss about the origin of neutrino masses i
 n beyond standard model theories and the testability  of these theories in
  experimental searches. One of the very attractive  class of search is lep
 ton number violating search at non-collider and collider experiments\, \nt
 hat can probe the Majorana nature of the  neutrinos. In my talk\, I  will 
   particularly focus on  neutrinoless double beta decay and  the different
  contributions that can arise from beyond standard model theories\, such a
 s\, sterile neutrino\, Left-Right symmetric model\, R-parity violating Sup
 ersymmetry.  The  prediction in neutrinoless double beta decay can be corr
 elated with that of the collider searches that can give very interesting c
 onsequences.\n
