Abstract: (World Scientific)
We give a review on neutrino models in which Majorana neutrino masses are generated radiatively through loop diagrams. In particular, we concentrate on the two-loop models which contain extra doubly charged singlet Φ and triplet Δ scalars beyond the Standard Model so that the new Yukawa Ψℓ̄RcℓR and effective Ψ±±W∓W∓ couplings can be induced. In these two-loop models, we find that the neutrino mass spectrum is a normal hierarchy and the rate of the neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ) can be large as it is dominated by the short-distance tree contribution. In addition, by using the neutrino oscillation data and comparing with the global fitting result in the literature, we find a unique neutrino mass matrix and predict the Dirac and two Majorana CP phases to be 3(π − η)∕2, π + 3η∕2 and (3π − η)∕2 with η = 0.07π, respectively.
