The landscape of QCD axion models

L Di Luzio, M Giannotti, E Nardi, L Visinelli - Physics Reports, 2020 - Elsevier
We review the landscape of QCD axion models. Theoretical constructions that extend the
window for the axion mass and couplings beyond conventional regions are highlighted and …

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 …

The present and future status of heavy neutral leptons

AM Abdullahi, PB Alzás, B Batell… - Journal of Physics G …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org

The search for heavy Majorana neutrinos

A Atre, T Han, S Pascoli, B Zhang - Journal of High Energy …, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
The Majorana nature of neutrinos can be experimentally verified only via lepton-number
violating processes involving charged leptons. We study 36 lepton-number violating (LV) …

While all models of Majorana neutrino masses lead to the same dimension five effective
operator, which does not conserve lepton number, the dimension six operators induced at …

Distinguishing seesaw models at LHC with multi-lepton signals

F Del Aguila, JA Aguilar-Saavedra - Nuclear Physics B, 2009 - Elsevier
We investigate the LHC discovery potential for electroweak scale heavy neutrino singlets
