Description

We discuss the origin of neutrino masses confirmed by various oscillation experiments. Especially, we consider the case when the Standard Model is extended by right-handed neutrinos and describe the so-called seesaw mechanism. We also discuss the possible tests of the seesaw mechanism
where all neutrinos are Majorana fermions and the lepton number is violated. In particular, we show how properties of right-handed neutrinos, masses and mixings, are probed by the future experiments of neutrinoless double beta decays.
