Neutrino Masses and Z
نویسنده
چکیده
The characteristic scale of neutral current, provided by an extension of Standard Model with a local group over the right-handed fermions, determines the smallness of neutrino masses of Dirac kind. The experimental observation of neutrino oscillations imposes the stringent limit on the Z ′ physics appearance at low energies.

Cosmo MSW effect for mass varying neutrinos
We consider neutrinos with varying masses which arise in scenarios relating neutrino masses to the dark energy density in the universe. We point out that the neutrino mass variation can lead to level crossing and thus a cosmo MSW effect, having dramatic consequences for the flavor ratio of astrophysical neutrinos and the composition of the relic neutrino background. Two of the most mysterious p...
متن کاملBounds on Relic Neutrino Masses in the Z-burst Model
Neutrinos from far-away sources annihilating at the Z resonance on relic neutrinos may give origin to the extreme-energy cosmic rays (EECR). If “Z-bursts” are responsible for the EECR events, then we show that the non-observation of cosmic ray events at energies above 2 ×1020 eV by the AGASA Collaboration implies a lower bound ∼ 0.3 eV on the relic neutrino mass. Since this mass exceeds the mas...
متن کاملNeutrino Masses and the Structure of the Weak Gauge Boson
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, t...
متن کاملPhenomenology of Hybrid Scenarios of Neutrino Dark Energy
We study the phenomenology of hybrid scenarios of neutrino dark energy, where in addition to a so-called Mass Varying Neutrino (MaVaN) sector a cosmological constant (from a false vacuum) is driving the accelerated expansion of the universe today. For general power law potentials we calculate the effective equation of state parameter weff (z) in terms of the neutrino mass scale. Due to the inte...
متن کاملZ 3 Dark Matter and Two - Loop Neutrino Mass
Dark matter is usually distinguished from ordinary matter by an odd-even parity, i.e. the discrete symmetry Z 2. The new idea of Z 3 dark matter is proposed with a special application to generating radiative Majorana neutrino masses in two-loop order.
