ABSTRACT
Evidence for neutrino oscillations points to the existence of tiny but finite neutrino masses. Such masses may be naturally generated via radiative corrections in models, such as the Zee model, where a singlet Zee scalar plays a key role. We minimally extend the Zee model by including a right-handed singlet neutrino nu(R). The radiative Zee mechanism can be protected by a simple U(1)(X) symmetry involving only the nu(R) and a Zee scalar. We further construct a class of models with a single horizontal U(1)(FN) (à la Froggatt-Nielsen) such that the mass patterns of the neutrinos and leptons are naturally explained. We then analyze the muon anomalous magnetic moment (g(mu)-2) and the flavor changing mu-->egamma decay. The nu(R) interaction in our minimal extension is found to induce the BNL g(mu)-2 anomaly, with a light charged Zee scalar of mass 100-300 GeV.
