Abstract

We present a novel way of testing the seesaw origin of neutrino mass in the context of the minimal left-right symmetric model. It is based on the connection between the leptonic interactions of the doubly charged scalars, whose presence is at the core of the seesaw mechanism, and the neutrino Dirac Yukawa couplings which govern, among other processes, the right-handed neutrino decays into left-handed charged leptons. We prove that any physical quantity depending on these couplings is a function of the Hermitian part only, which can significantly simplify their future experimental determination.
