Neutrino masses from generalized symmetry breaking

C Cordova, S Hong, S Koren, K Ohmori - Physical Review X, 2024 - APS
We explore generalized global symmetries in theories of physics beyond the standard
model. Theories of Z′ bosons generically contain “noninvertible” chiral symmetries, whose …

B Dev, KS Babu, P Denton, P Machado… - SciPost Physics …, 2019 - scipost.org
This report summarizes the present status of neutrino non-standard interactions (NSI). After
a brief overview, several aspects of NSIs are discussed, including connection to neutrino …

Relaxing cosmological neutrino mass bounds with unstable neutrinos

M Escudero, J Lopez-Pavon, N Rius… - Journal of High Energy …, 2020 - Springer
A bstract At present, cosmological observations set the most stringent bound on the neutrino
mass scale. Within the standard cosmological model (ΛCDM), the Planck collaboration …

MUonE sensitivity to new physics explanations of the muon anomalous magnetic moment

A bstract The MUonE experiment aims at a precision measurement of the hadronic vacuum
polarization contribution to the muon g− 2, via elastic muon-electron scattering. Since the …

How to rule out (g − 2)μ in with white dwarf cooling

P Foldenauer, JH Zink - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2024 - Springer
A bstract In recent years, the gauge group\(\textrm {U}{(1)} _ {L_ {\mu}-{L} _ {\tau}}\) has
received a lot of attention since it can, in principle, account for the observed excess in the …

Consistent theory of kinetic mixing and the Higgs low-energy theorem

M Bauer, P Foldenauer - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
Extensions of the standard model of particle physics with new Abelian gauge groups allow
for kinetic mixing between the new gauge bosons and the hypercharge gauge boson …

J Heeck, A Thapa - The European Physical Journal C, 2022 - Springer
Experimental hints for lepton-flavor universality violation in the muon's magnetic moment as
well as neutral-and charged-current B-meson decays require Standard-Model extensions by …

Discovering leptonic forces using nonconserved currents

JA Dror - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
Differences in lepton number (ie, L eL μ, L eL τ, L μ-L τ, or combinations thereof) are not
conserved charges in the Standard Model due to the observation of neutrino oscillations. We …
