Abstract

We carefully analyze the renormalization group equations in the type  I+II seesaw scenario in the extended standard model and the minimal supersymmetric standard model. Furthermore, we present analytic formulas of the mixing angles and phases and discuss the renormalization group effect on the different mixing parameters in the type II seesaw scenario. The renormalization group equations of the angles are independent of the Majorana phases. In addition, there is a contribution which is proportional to the mass squared difference for a hierarchical spectrum. This is in contrast to the inverse proportionality to the mass squared difference in the effective field theory case.

  60. Recently Chankowski et al. showed that a Y=0 Higgs triplet does not decouple from the SM [61], which imposes strong constraints on models involving a Y=0 Higgs triplet. However, this result cannot immediately translate to a Y=1 Higgs triplet like in the type-II seesaw mechanism, because the nonvanishing hypercharge leads to a coupling of the Higgs triplet to the hypercharge boson, which in turn leads to different contributions to the electroweak precision observables, e.g. the mass of the Z boson receives additional corrections which results in corrections to the ρ=MW2MZ2cos2θW parameter.
