TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the collider phenomenology of neutrino physics and the synergetic aspects at energy, intensity and cosmic frontiers to test the new physics behind the neutrinos mass mechanism and discuss the future experimental prospects of testing the seesaw mechanism at colliders and in related low-energy searches for rare processes, such as lepton flavor violation and neutrinoless double beta decay.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider a number of representative Seesaw scenarios as phenomenological benchmarks, including the characteristic Type I, II, and III Seeaw mechanisms, their extensions and hybridizations, as well as radiative constructions.

TL;DR: In this article, a search for physics beyond the standard model in events with at least three leptons is presented, and limits are placed on new-physics scenarios that yield multilepton final states.

TL;DR: In this article, a list of particle physics models at the TeV-scale that are compatible with neutrino masses and dark matter was provided, and the conditions under which they are consistent with current data were determined.

TL;DR: The Gelfant 4 toolkit as discussed by the authors is a toolkit for simulating the passage of particles through matter, including a complete range of functionality including tracking, geometry, physics models and hits.

TL;DR: The Pythia program as mentioned in this paper can be used to generate high-energy-physics ''events'' (i.e. sets of outgoing particles produced in the interactions between two incoming particles).

TL;DR: The anti-k-t algorithm as mentioned in this paper behaves like an idealised cone algorithm, in that jets with only soft fragmentation are conical, active and passive areas are equal, the area anomalous dimensions are zero, the non-global logarithms are those of a rigid boundary and the Milan factor is universal.

TL;DR: The Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN as mentioned in this paper was designed to study proton-proton (and lead-lead) collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 14 TeV (5.5 TeV nucleon-nucleon) and at luminosities up to 10(34)cm(-2)s(-1)

TL;DR: In weak-interaction models with spontaneous parity nonconservation, this article obtained the following formula for the neutrino mass, valid for each lepton generation, which relates the maximality of observed parity non-conservation at low energies to the smallness of neutrinos masses.
