Abstract

We analyse the size of quantum corrections in the Zee model using effective field theory techniques. 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 when quantum corrections have to be included in studies of neutrino mass parameters in the Zee model.
