Neutrino Seesaw Models at the LHC Xiao-Gang He Department of Physics and Center for Theoretical Sciences National Taiwan University Talk at USTC, April 15 The Seesaw Mechanism Type II Seesaw at the LHC Small light and heavy mixing in Type I and III at the LHC New possibility, large mixing, for Type-I and III seesaw at LHC Conclusions
What LHC can do for neutrino physics? A lot. One of them is to probe the heavy degree of freedom in models producing neutrino masses and mixing. Production of new particles, the most direct test!

3. Small light and heavy mixing in Type I and III at the LHCSome features about Type I and III Seesaw Models
V_{lN} ~ (m_\nu/m_N)^{1/2} < 10^{-6} for one generation. Too small!
Neutrino MixingSchwetz et.al, Gonzalez-Garcia et. Al, Goswami et.al. Strumia et al.
Real angle wij -> small mixing solution. Complex angle, can have large mixing solution.
Even with small V_{lN} Type-III seesaw can be tested at the LHCTong Li and Xiao-Gang He, arXiv:0907.4193[hep-ph]
4. New possibility, large mixing, for Type-I and III seesaw at LHCX.-G. He et al., arXiv:0907.1607[hep-ph] (earlier work: Smirnov and Kersten)
For U_{\nu U} of order 0.03, the cross section can be as large as 1 fb for m_N up to 150 GeV. Not hopelessly small! For Type III Seesaw, no displayed vertex!
If m_N < m_h, affect Higgs decay Br. Park, Wang and Yanagida, arXiv:0909.2937; Chen et al. arXiv:1001.5215
