Seesaw mechanism and pseudo C-symmetry
Abstract It is shown that the specific “charge conjugation” transformation used to define the Majorana fermions in the conventional seesaw mechanism, namely $$(\nu _{R})^{C}=C\overline{\nu _{R}}^{T}$$ (νR)C=CνR¯T for a chiral fermion $$\nu _{R}$$ νR (and similarly for $$\nu _{L}$$ νL ), is a hidden...
