Abstract:

Observations of neutrino masses and oscillations provide strong evidence that the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics is incomplete and requires physics beyond the SM. There are a plethora of different models that can explain the origin of neutrino masses. I will discuss distinguishing certain classes of models for both Dirac and Majorana masses while connecting the neutrino masses to other anomalies observables, such as the muon's magnetic moment, CDF's W-boson mass, etc.
