Charged Lepton Masses as a Possible CPV Source

We realize a model-independent study of the so-called Tri-Bi-Maximal pattern of leptonic flavor mixing. Different charged lepton mass matrix textures are studied. In particular, we are interested in those textures with a minimum number of parameters and that are able to reproduce the current experimental data on neutrino oscillation. The textures studied here form an equivalent class with two texture zeros. We obtain a Tri-Bi-Maximal pattern deviation in terms of the charged leptons masses, leading to a reactor angle and three CP violation phases non-zero. These lastest are one CP violation phase Dirac-like and two phases Majorana-like. Also, we can test the phenomenological implications of the numerical values obtained for the mixing angles and CP violation phases, on the neutrinoless double beta decay, and in the present and upcoming experiments on long-base neutrino oscillation, such as T2K, NOvA, and DUNE

Higgs Sector with Spontaneous CP Violation in S(3) Standard Model

Conditions for spontaneous Charge-Parity (CP) violation in the scalar potential sector of general S(3) Higgs-doublet model (3HDM) are analyzed. An analysis of the Higgs sector of the minimal S(3)-invariant extension of the Standard Model including CP violation arising from the spontaneous breaking of the electroweak symmetry is presented. This extended Higgs sector with three SU(2) doublets Higgs fields with complex vev’s provides an interesting scenario to analyze the Higgs masses spectrum, trilinear self-couplings and CP violation. We present how the spontaneous electroweak symmetry breaking, coming from three S(3) Higgs fields, gives an interesting scenario with nine physical Higgs and three Goldstone bosons, when spontaneous CP violation arises from the Higgs field S(3) singlet Hs

Spontaneous CP Violation Jarlskog Invariant in SM ⊗ S3

In our days, CP (Charge Parity) violation in the Standar Model of fundamental interactions still remains as an open problem. It is well known that explicit CP violation may be included by impossing complex Yukawa couplings in the Yukawa sector or complex Higgs couplings in exttended Higgs sectors with more than one Higgs field. It is desirable to have a fundamental CP violation theory, in that sence, we analyse the diferent secenarios for Spontaneous CP violation in an exteded Higgs model with three Higgs fields and a discrete flavour permutational symmetry S3. Spontaneous CP violation effects contribute to the Higgs mass matrix, as well as, up and down quark mass matrices. This complex quark mass matrices allow us to study the conditions for a non-vanishing Jarlskog invariant J which provides a necessary and sufficient contribution for a spontaneous CPV coming from SM ⊗ S

Annihilation of Dipolar Dark Matter to Photons

In this work we study the annihilation of fermionic dark matter, considering it as a neutral particle with nonvanishing magnetic ($M$) and electric ($D$) dipole moments. Effective cross-section of the process $\chi \overline{\chi} \rightarrow \gamma \gamma$ is computed starting from a general form of coupling $\chi \overline{\chi} \gamma$ in the framework of an extension of the Standard Model. By taking into account annihilation of DM pairs into mono-energetic photons, we found that for small masses, $m_\chi \leq 10\,\textrm{GeV}$, an electric dipole moment $\sim 10^{-16}\, \textrm{e cm}$ is required to satisfy the current residual density inferences. Additionally, in order to pin down models viable to describe the physics of dark matter at the early Universe we also constrain our model according to recent measurements of the temperature anisotropies of the cosmic background radiation, we report constraints to the electric and magnetic dipole moments for a range of masses within our model.Comment: 20 pages, 6 figure
