Department of PhysicsSyracuse UniversitySyracuse, NY 13244-1130, USA(Dated: February 1, 2008)We propose a model for neutrino masses that simultaneously results in a new dark matter can-didate, the right-handed neutrino. We derive the dark matter abundance in this model, show howthe hierarchy of neutrino masses is obtained, and verify that the model is compatible with existingexperimental results. The model provides an economical method of unifying two seemingly separatepuzzles in contemporary particle physics and cosmology.
