Description
Radiative neutrino mass models naturally explain the smallness of neutrino masses via loop suppression. The framework in which we study the phenomenology of these models is effective field theory. Within this framework, a proper treatment accounts for both matching conditions between the new high- and low- energy theories, as well as running effects within the low energy theory. We analyse the size of these quantum corrections in the Zee model - a particular example of a radiative mass model. We derive the relevant 1-loop matching conditions and use them together with the existing renormalisation group equations in the two Higgs doublet model to calculate quantum corrections to the neutrino mass squared differences, mixing angles, and phases. Using four benchmark scenarios, we demonstrate the relevance of these corrections to the precision of the new generation of neutrino mass experiments that have already begun coming online.
