Neutrino Masses and the Structure of the Weak Gauge Boson
نویسنده
چکیده
A composite model of fermions is used to estimate neutrino masses. The formula for masses in the model is approximate and neglects the small masses of the electrically neutral systems (neutrino). However, in this model the electron-neutrino forms part of the structures of the weak gauge bosons (Wand Z) and, if the masses of these particles are calculated formally using the zero neutrino mass, they became infinite, which is not consistent with observations. Consistency can be achieved by assuming that the electron-neutrino has a mass of about 4.5 meV. Masses of the muonand tauneutrinos are also estimated. PACS numbers: 12.60.Rc, 12.15.Ff, 12.10.Dm

Leptoquarks: Neutrino Masses and Accelerator Phenomenology
Leptoquark-Higgs interactions induce mixing between leptoquark states with different chiralities once the electro-weak symmetry is broken. In such LQ models Majorana neutrino masses are generated at 1-loop order. Here we calculate the neutrino mass matrix and explore the constraints on the parameter space enforced by the assumption that LQ-loops explain current neutrino oscillation data. LQs wi...

(IAS/Princeton). Any electrically charged gauge boson outside of the Standard Model is generically denoted W 0. A W 0 always couples to two diierent avors of fermions, similar to the W boson. In particular, if a W 0 couples quarks to leptons it is a leptoquark gauge boson. The most attractive candidate for W 0 is the W R gauge boson associated with the left-right symmetric models 1]. These mode...
متن کاملStatus and implications of neutrino masses: a brief panorama
With the historic discovery of the Higgs boson our picture of particle physics would have been complete were it not for the neutrino sector and cosmology. I briefly discuss the role of neutrino masses and mixing upon gauge coupling unification, electroweak breaking and the flavor sector. Time is ripe for new discoveries such as leptonic CP violation, charged lepton flavor violation and neutrino...

متن کاملNeutrinos in cosmology, with some significant digressions
Neutrinos play prominent roles in both particle physics and cosmology. In this talk, I will cover two broad topics. The first will be possible origins for neutrino masses and mixings and the implications of this physics for cosmology. Some non-cosmological digressions on the flavour problem in general will be made. The second topic will be Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) and bounds on active-ste...
