Abstract
Lepton number violation plays an essential role in many scenarios of neutrino mass generation and also provides new clues to search new physics beyond the standard model. We consider the neutrinophilic two-Higgs-doublet model ($\nu$-2HDM) where additional right-handed neutral fermions $N_{Ri}$ and a complex singlet scalar $\sigma$ are also involved. In scalar sector, the global $U(1)_{L}$ symmetry is spontaneous broken, leading to Nambu-Goldstone boson, the Majoron $J$, accompanied by the Majorana neutrino mass generation. We find that the massless Majoron will induce large invisible Higgs decay, and current experiments have already set constraints on relevant parameters. For the first time, we point out that the $\nu$-2HDM with $N_{Ri}$ can be distinguished from other seesaw by the same sign tri-lepton signature $3\ell^\pm4j+\cancel{E}_T$. More interesting, for $\mathcal{O}(\keV)$ scale Majoron, it is a good candidate of decaying dark matter to interpret the $3.5\keV$ and $511\keV$ line excesses.
