Abstract

In the introductory part we briefly consider basics of neutrino oscillations and convenient phenomenology of neutrino oscillations in vacuum. Main part of this report is dedicated to a discussion of a plausible BSM scenarios of neutrino mass generation, based on assumptions of massless left-handed SM neutrinos and violation of the total lepton number. It is stressed that search for light sterile neutrinos and neutrinoless double β-decay could provide a crucial tests of this scenarios.
