| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We have investigated physics beyond the Standard Model based on the origin of non-zero neutrino masses indicated by oscillation experiments. In particular, a framework in which neutrino masses, cosmic dark matter, and baryon asymmetry of the universe can be explained at the same time has been considered. We have focused on right-handed neutrinos which masses are lighter than the electroweak scale (about 100 GeV) and discussed the mechanism for generating the baryon asymmetry and the methods of the experimental searches for such particles.
