Abstract

This study presents a radiative three-loop model for neutrino mass generation, employing an asymmetric Yukawa coupling between two new scalar S U ( 2 ) L doublets and vectorlike lepton doublets. Dark matter candidates arise from one of the scalar doublets and contribute to neutrino mass generation through the mass splitting between its neutral components. The singly charged scalars are also essential for neutrino mass, with the charged states of the two doublets mixing with one another. A single generation of vectorlike leptons yields two nonzero neutrino masses as a consequence of the asymmetric Yukawa combinations entering the neutrino mass matrix. The model is tested against dark matter phenomenology, neutrino mass and mixing data, and the charged lepton flavor-violating process μ → e γ , showing compatibility with current bounds and leading to experimentally accessible predictions.
