However, in general 0 nu beta beta decay can have an independent origin and be near its present experimental bound; whereas neutrino masses are generated radiatively, contributing negligibly to 0 nu beta beta decay. We provide a realization of this scenario in a simple, well defined and testable model, with potential LHC effects and calculable neutrino masses, whose two-loop expression we derive exactly. We also discuss the connection of this model to others that have appeared in the literature, and remark on the significant differences that result from various choices of quantum number assignments and symmetry assumptions. In this type of models lepton flavor violating rates are also preferred to be relatively large, at the reach of foreseen experiments. Interestingly enough, in our model this stands for a large third mixing angle, sin(2) theta(13) greater than or similar to 0.008, when $\mu$-> eee is required to lie below its present experimental limit.", optnote="WOS:000305238600053", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=1092), last updated on Thu, 26 Jul 2012 11:06:03 +0000", issn="1126-6708", doi="10.1007/JHEP05(2012)133", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1111.6960", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP05(2012)133", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1111.6960", language="English" }
