On the Seesaw Scale in Supersymmetric SO(10) Models

Abstract

The seesaw mechanism, which is responsible for the description of neutrino masses and mixing, requires a scale lower than the unification scale. We propose a new model with spinor superfields playing important roles to generate this seesaw scale, with special attention paid on the Goldstone mode of the $U(1{)}_{B-L}$ symmetry breaking.
