Particle physics

a mechanism that explains very light neutrino masses as suppressed by very heavy partner particles, so that one mass rises as the other falls.

In particle physics, seesaw mechanism refers to a mechanism that explains very light neutrino masses as suppressed by very heavy partner particles, so that one mass rises as the other falls. This meaning comes from Mohapatra (1980) in Physical Review Letters.[1]
