In addition to Standard Model particles, it includes quasi-Dirac leptons as neutrino mass mediators, and a leptophilic scalar doublet seeding small neutrino masses. Here we review its associated physics, including restrictions from theory and phenomenology. The model yields potentially detectable $\mu$-> e gamma rates as well as distinctive signatures in the production and decay of heavy neutrinos ( N-i) and the charged Higgs boson (H-+/-) arising from the second scalar doublet. We have found that production processes such as e(+) e(-) -> NN, e- gamma -> NH- and e(+) e(-) -> H (+) H- followed by the decay chain H-+/--> l(+/-) (i) N, N -> l{\textquoteleft}(+/-) (j) W (-/+) leads to striking lepton number violation signatures at high energies which may probe the Majorana nature of neutrinos.", optnote="WOS:001039968700005", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=5605), last updated on Wed, 23 Aug 2023 09:22:51 +0000", issn="1029-8479", doi="10.1007/JHEP07(2023)221", opturl="https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.00994", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP07(2023)221", language="English" }
