1115: 1251: 59:. The simplest version, "Type 1", extends the Standard Model by assuming two or more additional right-handed neutrino fields inert under the electroweak interaction, and the existence of a very large mass scale. This allows the mass scale to be identifiable with the postulated scale of grand unification. 979: 1535: 1621: 1134: 2099:(1979).

It is possible to generate two low-mass neutrinos with only one right-handed neutrino, but the resulting mass spectra are generally not viable.
