The idea is illustrated in a simple scheme where small Dirac neutrino masses arise from a type-I seesaw mechanism as a result of a Z(4) discrete lepton number symmetry. The latter implies the existence of a viable WIMP dark matter candidate, whose stability arises from the same symmetry which ensures the Diracness of neutrinos.", optnote="WOS:000397861700032", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=3024), last updated on Fri, 14 Apr 2017 23:25:19 +0000", issn="0370-2693", doi="10.1016/j.physletb.2017.01.070", opturl="http://arxiv.org/abs/1606.04543", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.physletb.2017.01.070", archivePrefix="arXiv", eprint="1606.04543", language="English" }
