From (1) , (3) & (4) (which are independent of ) two solutions:

For , (2) implies No new gauge symmetry

Solution (I):

However, in this case to cancel anomalies additional singlets are to be considered.

Four possible models in this case:

One loop radiative contribution to neutrino mass

In Model C the 3X3 Majorana neutrino mass matrix receives tree level contribution from the coupling of to a linear combination of through as well as radiative contribution from and .This is a natural hierarchical scenario.

Lightest particle of odd is dark matter candidate. It may be a scalar boson - the lighter of and

Conclusion :

(1) In the context of U(1) extension of the Standard Model we have discussed consequences of having one or more Majorana fermion triplets generating neutrino mass through Seesaw mechanism.

(2) Associated neutral gauge boson has prescribed couplings to the usual quarks and leptons in terms of and The exclusion limit of from low energydata has been obtained showing that may be accessible to LHC if is of the order of

(3) In case of one triplet (Model B) one Higgs doublet couples to quarkand the other to leptons; in case of two triplet (Model C) there is thirdscalar doublet which allows natural implementation of radiative neutrinomass and dark matter.
