Long-lived particles at the energy frontier: the MATHUSLA physics case

D Curtin, M Drewes, M McCullough… - Reports on progress …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
We examine the theoretical motivations for long-lived particle (LLP) signals at the LHC in a
comprehensive survey of standard model (SM) extensions. LLPs are a common prediction of …

Lepton number violation: seesaw models and their collider tests

Y Cai, T Han, T Li, R Ruiz - Frontiers in Physics, 2018 - frontiersin.org
The Majorana nature of neutrinos is strongly motivated from the theoretical and
phenomenological point of view. A plethora of neutrino mass models, known collectively as …

Have pulsar timing array methods detected a cosmological phase transition?

A Addazi, YF Cai, A Marciano, L Visinelli - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We show that the recent detection of a gravitational wave (GW) background reported by
various pulsar timing array (PTA) collaborations including NANOGrav-15 yr, PPTA …

Neutrinos and collider physics

FF Deppisch, PSB Dev, A Pilaftsis - New Journal of Physics, 2015 - iopscience.iop.org
We review the collider phenomenology of neutrino physics and the synergetic aspects at
energy, intensity and cosmic frontiers to test the new physics behind the neutrino mass …

Toward deconstructing the simplest seesaw mechanism

S Mandal, OG Miranda, GS Garcia, JWF Valle, XJ Xu - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
The triplet or type-II seesaw mechanism is the simplest way to endow neutrinos with mass in
the Standard Model (SM). Here we review its associated theory and phenomenology …

On the description of nonunitary neutrino mixing

FJ Escrihuela, DV Forero, OG Miranda, M Tortola… - Physical Review D, 2015 - APS
Neutrino oscillations are well established and the relevant parameters determined with good
precision, except for the CP phase, in terms of a unitary lepton mixing matrix. Seesaw …

Phenomenology of lepton masses and mixing with discrete flavor symmetries

G Chauhan, PSB Dev, I Dubovyk, B Dziewit… - Progress in Particle and …, 2024 - Elsevier
The observed pattern of fermion masses and mixing is an outstanding puzzle in particle
physics, generally known as the flavor problem. Over the years, guided by precision neutrino …

Long-lived heavy neutrinos from Higgs decays

FF Deppisch, W Liu, M Mitra - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 - Springer
A bstract We investigate the pair-production of right-handed neutrinos via the Standard
Model (SM) Higgs boson in a gauged B− L model. The right-handed neutrinos with a mass …

gauge symmetry as a simple description of anomalies

C Bonilla, T Modak, R Srivastava, JWF Valle - Physical Review D, 2018 - APS
We present a simple U (1) B 3-3 L 2 gauge standard model extension that can easily
account for the anomalies in R (K) and R (K*) reported by LHCb. The model is economical in …
