Anarchic neutrinos from flavor deconstruction: phenomenology of the lepton sector
A bstract We investigate the neutrino sector in the framework of flavor deconstruction with an inverse-seesaw realization. This setup naturally links the hierarchical charged-fermion masses to the anarchic pattern of light-neutrino mixing. We determine the viable parameter space consistent with oscillation data and study the phenomenology of heavy neutral leptons (HNL) and lepton-flavor-violating (LFV) processes. Current bounds from direct HNL searches and LFV decays constrain the right-handed neutrino scale to a few TeV, while future μ → e experiments will probe most of the region with Λ ≲ 10 TeV. Among possible realizations, models deconstructing SU(2) L × U(1) B − L or SU(2) L × U(1) R × U(1) B − L are those allowing the lowest deconstruction scale.
