Neutrinos in the time of Higgs
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract. In this paper, the recent progress in the determination of neutrino oscillation parameters and future prospects have been discussed. The tiny neutrino masses as inferred from oscillation data and cosmology cannot be explained naturally by the Higgs mechanism and warrant some new physics. The latter can be connected to the Majorana nature of the neutrinos which can be probed by neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ). The paper also summarizes the latest experimental results in 0νββ and discusses some implications for the left–right symmetric model which could be a plausible new physics scenario for the generation of neutrino masses.

We consider the Lorentz violating extension of the standard model introduced by D. Colladay and V. A. Kostelecky. In this framework, we obtain all Feynman rules for the electroweak part of the standard model extension (SME), for the first time. Among the new obtained interactions one finds new vertices for the Higgs boson that is interesting in the phenomenology of the Higgs particle.
متن کاملSterile neutrinos, dark matter, and pulsar velocities in models with a Higgs singlet.
We identify the range of parameters for which the sterile neutrinos can simultaneously explain the cosmological dark matter and the observed velocities of pulsars. To satisfy all cosmological bounds, the relic sterile neutrinos must be produced sufficiently cold. This is possible in a class of models with a gauge-singlet Higgs boson coupled to the neutrinos. Sterile dark matter can be detected ...
متن کاملSinglet scalar dark matter in noncommutative space
In this paper, we examine the singlet scalar dark matter annihilation to becoming the Standard Model particles in the non-commutative space. In the recent decades, many candidates of dark matter have been offered, but our information about the nature of dark matter is still limited. There are such particle candidates as scalar matetr, fermion, boson, gauge boson, etc.; however, they have nei...
متن کاملThe B"{a}cklund transformation method of Riccati equation to coupled Higgs field and Hamiltonian amplitude equations
In this paper, we establish new exact solutions for some complex nonlinear wave equations. The B"{a}cklund transformation method of Riccati equation is used to construct exact solutions of the Hamiltonian amplitude equation and the coupled Higgs field equation. This method presents a wide applicability to handling nonlinear wave equations. These equations play a very important role in mathemati...
متن کاملRadiatively Induced Neutrino Masses and Large Higgs-Neutrino Couplings in the Standard Model with Majorana Fields
The Higgs sector of the Standard Model (SM) with one right-handed neutrino per family is systematically analyzed. In a model with intergenerational independent mixings between families, we can account for very light neutrinos acquiring Majorana masses radiatively at the first electroweak loop level. We also find that in such a scenario the Higgs coupling to the light–heavy neutrinos and to the ...
متن کاملAffleck-Dine leptogenesis with triplet Higgs
We study an extension of the supersymmetric standard model introducing a pair of electroweak triplet Higgs fields ∆ and ∆̄. The neutrinos acquire Majorana masses mediated by the triplet Higgs fields rather than the heavy right-handed neutrinos. The successful leptogenesis for baryogenesis can be realized after inflation through the Affleck-Dine mechanism with a novel flat direction consisting of...
