In particle physics : Mass generation In particle physics : Mass generation mechanism for neutrinos differs from charged mechanism for neutrinos differs from charged fermions. Seesaw mechanism involves heavy fermions. Seesaw mechanism involves heavy particles whose mass may depend on the value particles whose mass may depend on the value of the cosmon field. of the cosmon field.
