Low scale type i seesaw model for lepton masses and mixings

In contrast to the original type I seesaw mechanism that requires right-handed Majorana neutrinos at energies much higher than the electroweak scale, the so-called low scale seesaw models
allow lighter masses for the additional neutrinos. Here we propose an alternative low scale type I
seesaw model, where neither linear nor inverse seesaw mechanisms take place, but the spontaneous
breaking of a discrete symmetry at an energy scale much lower than the model cutoff is responsible for the smallness of the light active neutrino masses. In this scenario, the model is defined
with minimal particle content, where the right-handed Majorana neutrinos can have masses at the
∼ 50 GeV scale. The model is predictive in the neutrino sector having only four effective parameters that allow to successfully reproduce the experimental values of the six low energy neutrino
observables.
