| contents | The left-right symmetric models (LRSM) generally include type-I and type-II induced seesaw masses as a hybrid mass for the light-active neutrinos. Assuming a particular form of Dirac-type coupling,
the Majorana-type coupling in the seesaw mass formula can be expressed in terms of
low-energy neutrino oscillation observables and vacuum expectation values (vevs) of the scalar fields
present in the model. The Majorana-type coupling thus admits eight different solutions by
considering whether the type-I and type-II terms dominate the light neutrino mass.
We study the role of all eight solutions in the lepton number violating neutrinoless double beta decay
($0νββ$) process. In LRSM, the right-handed neutrinos, triplet scalars, and gauge bosons
of the left and right sectors mediate new contributions to the $0νββ$ process.
As a result, the effective mass of electron neutrino appearing in the decay width would be a
function of $v_R$ (vev of the Higgs triplet of the right sector) along with other
model parameters, through the masses of the new contributions. The energy scale,
$v_R$ can be considered as the new physics scale which allows exploring physics beyond the Standard Model.
Considering the present and future sensitivity of searches of $0νββ$, we study the
role of eight different solutions of the Majorana coupling matrix. In our study, the inverted
hierarchy of light neutrino masses is disfavored for all solutions keeping future sensitivity of
effective mass in the picture, if the lightest mass of active neutrinos is below $0.001$ eV.
Also, our study shows a possibility of new physics contributions saturating
the experimental bound on effective mass for $v_R$ in the range of $10$ TeV for two particular solutions
of the Majorana coupling matrix and simultaneously provides the insights about parity breaking scale. |
