Description
The extremely small but non-zero neutrino masses has no explanation in the Standard Model. We propose a new mechanism for neutrino mass generation, unrelated to the Higgs mechanism, in which neutrinos get their mass via long range interactions with dark matter. Our model predicts a location dependent neutrino mass and also implies that relic neutrinos are not present in galaxies due to having been repelled by the dark matter.
