Flaxion: a minimal extension to solve puzzles in the standard model

Y Ema, K Hamaguchi, T Moroi, K Nakayama - Journal of High Energy …, 2017 - Springer
A bstract We propose a minimal extension of the standard model which includes only one
additional complex scalar field, flavon, with flavor-dependent global U (1) symmetry. It not …

Standard Model—axion—seesaw—Higgs portal inflation. Five problems of particle physics and cosmology solved in one stroke

G Ballesteros, J Redondo, A Ringwald… - Journal of Cosmology …, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
We present a minimal extension of the Standard Model (SM) providing a consistent picture
of particle physics from the electroweak scale to the Planck scale and of cosmology from …

Family nonuniversal models with protected flavor-changing interactions

A Celis, J Fuentes-Martin, M Jung, H Serodio - Physical Review D, 2015 - APS
We define a new class of Z′ models with neutral flavor-changing interactions at tree level in
the down-quark sector. They are related in an exact way to elements of the quark mixing …

[HTML][HTML] Lepton flavor violation with light vector bosons

J Heeck - Physics Letters B, 2016 - Elsevier
New sub-GeV vector bosons with couplings to muons but not electrons have been
discussed in order to explain the muon's magnetic moment, the gap of high-energy …

[HTML][HTML] Leptoquark-induced CLFV decays with a light SM-singlet scalar

B De - Physics Letters B, 2024 - Elsevier
Abstract The Standard Model (SM), if augmented with a light SM-singlet scalar ϕ and a TeV-
scale scalar leptoquark (LQ) S 1, 2-body charged lepton flavor violating (CLFV) decay …

U (1) flavour symmetries as Peccei-Quinn symmetries

F Björkeroth, L Di Luzio, F Mescia, E Nardi - Journal of High Energy …, 2019 - Springer
A bstract We investigate to what extent a generic, generation-dependent U (1) symmetry
acting on the quark Yukawa operators can reduce the number of free parameters by forcing …

[HTML][HTML] Lepton flavor violation with displaced vertices

J Heeck, W Rodejohann - Physics Letters B, 2018 - Elsevier
If light new physics with lepton-flavor-violating couplings exists, the prime discovery channel
might not be ℓ→ ℓ′ γ but rather ℓ→ ℓ′ X, where the new boson X could be an axion …

Sensitivity studies on new physics in the Mu3e experiment and development of firmware for the front-end of the Mu3e pixel detector

AK Perrevoort - 2018 - archiv.ub.uni-heidelberg.de
The upcoming Mu3e experiment aims to search for the lepton flavour violating decay mu+->
e+ e-e+ with a final sensitivity of one signal decay in 10^ 16 muon decays. As this decay is …

[HTML][HTML] Flavor violating muon decay into an electron and a light gauge boson

A Ibarra, M Marín, P Roig - Physics Letters B, 2022 - Elsevier
We analyze the flavor violating muon decay μ→ e χ, where χ is a massive gauge boson, with
emphasis in the regime where χ is ultralight. We first study this process from an effective field …

[HTML][HTML] DFSZ axion couplings revisited

J Sun, XG He - Physics Letters B, 2020 - Elsevier
Among many possibilities, solar axion has been proposed to explain the electronic recoil
events excess observed by Xenon1T collaboration, although it has tension with …
