Description
We discuss the possibility of finding an upper bound on the lepton number violation scale using the cosmological bound on the cold dark matter relic density. We investigate a simple relation between the origin of neutrino masses and the properties of a dark matter candidate in the context of simple theories where the new symmetry breaking scale defines the lepton number violation scale, which by imposing the cosmological bounds, is found to be in the multi-TeV region. We investigate the predictions for direct and indirect detection dark matter experiments and the possible signatures at the Large Hadron Collider.
