The seesaw mechanism at TeV scale in the 3-3-1 model with right-handed neutrinos
We implement the seesaw mechanism in the 3-3-1 model with right-handed
neutrinos. This is accomplished by the introduction of a scalar sextet into the
model and the spontaneous violation of the lepton number. We identify the
Majoron as a singlet under symmetry, which makes it
safe under the current bounds imposed by electroweak data. The main result of
this work is that the seesaw mechanism works already at TeV scale with the
outcome that the right-handed neutrino masses lie in the electroweak scale, in
the range from MeV to tens of GeV. This window provides a great opportunity to
test their appearance at current detectors, though when we contrast our results
with some previous analysis concerning detection sensitivity at LHC, we
conclude that further work is needed in order to validate this search.Comment: about 13 pages, no figure
Electric charge quantization and the muon anomalous magnetic moment
We investigate some proposals to solve the electric charge quantization
puzzle, which simultaneously explain the recent measured deviation on the muon
anomalous magnetic moment. For this we assess extensions of the Electro-Weak
Standard Model spanning modifications on the scalar sector only. It is
interesting to verify that one can have modest extensions which easily account
for the solution for both problems.Comment: 20 pages, 1 figures, needs macro axodraw.st
Novel sources of Flavor Changed Neutral Currents in the model
Sources of Flavor Changed Neutral Currents (FCNC) naturally emerge from a
well motivated framework called 3-3-1 with right-handed neutrinos model,
for short, mediated by an extra neutral gauge boson .
Following previous works we calculate these sources and in addition we derive
new ones coming from CP-even and -odd neutral scalars which appear due to their
non-diagonal interactions with the physical standard quarks. Furthermore we
show that bounds related to the neutral mesons systems and may be significantly strengthened in the presence of these new
interactions allowing us to infer stronger constraints on the parameter space
of the model.Comment: Published version. 10 pages, 6 figure
Dynamically Induced Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking in 3-3-1 Models
We show that in SU(3)_C X SU(3)_L X U(1)_N (3-3-1) models embedded with a
singlet scalar playing the role of the axion, after imposing scale invariance,
dynamical symmetry breaking of Peccei-Quinn symmetry occurs through the
one-loop effective potential for the singlet field. We, then, analyze the
structure of spontaneous symmetry breaking by studying the new scalar potential
for the model, and verify that electroweak symmetry breaking is tightly
connected to the 3-3-1 breaking by the strong constraints among their vacuum
expectation values. This offers a valuable guide to write down the correct
pattern of symmetry breaking for multi-scalar theories. We also obtained that
the accompanying massive pseudo-scalar, instead of acquiring mass of order of
Peccei-Quinn scale as we would expect, develops a mass at a much lower scale, a
consequence solely of the dynamical breaking.Comment: 12 pages, typos corrected, improved text, conclusions unchange
Dead or alive? Implications of the muon anomalous magnetic moment for 3-3-1 models
IndexaciĂłn: Scopus.We have witnessed a persistent puzzling anomaly in the muon magnetic moment that cannot be accounted for in the Standard Model even considering the existing large hadronic uncertainties. A new measurement is forthcoming, and it might give rise to a 5Ï claim for physics beyond the Standard Model. Motivated by it, we explore the implications of this new result to five models based on the SU(3)CĂSU(3)LĂU(1)N gauge symmetry and put our conclusions into perspective with LHC bounds. We show that previous conclusions found in the context of such models change if there are more than one heavy particle running in the loop. Moreover, having in mind the projected precision aimed by the g-2 experiment at FERMILAB, we place lower mass bounds on the particles that contribute to muon anomalous magnetic moment assuming the anomaly is otherwise resolved. Lastly, we discuss how these models could accommodate such anomaly in agreement with current bounds. © 2020 The Author(s)

MiniBooNE Results and Neutrino Schemes with 2 sterile Neutrinos: Possible Mass Orderings and Observables related to Neutrino Masses
The MiniBooNE and LSND experiments are compatible with each other when two
sterile neutrinos are added to the three active ones. In this case there are
eight possible mass orderings. In two of them both sterile neutrinos are
heavier than the three active ones. In the next two scenarios both sterile
neutrinos are lighter than the three active ones. The remaining four scenarios
have one sterile neutrino heavier and another lighter than the three active
ones. We analyze all scenarios with respect to their predictions for
mass-related observables. These are the sum of neutrino masses as constrained
by cosmological observations, the kinematic mass parameter as measurable in the
KATRIN experiment, and the effective mass governing neutrinoless double beta
decay. It is investigated how these non-oscillation probes can distinguish
between the eight scenarios. Six of the eight possible mass orderings predict
positive signals in the KATRIN and future neutrinoless double beta decay
experiments. We also remark on scenarios with three sterile neutrinos. In
addition we make some comments on the possibility of using decays of high
energy astrophysical neutrinos to discriminate between the mass orderings in
presence of two sterile neutrinos.Comment: 33 pages, 8 figures. Comments added, to appear in JHE
Naturally light right-handed neutrinos in a 3-3-1 Model
In this work we show that light right-handed neutrinos, with mass in the
sub-eV scale, is a natural outcome in a 3-3-1 model. By considering effective
dimension five operators, the model predicts three light right-handed
neutrinos, weakly mixed with the left-handed ones. We show also that the model
is able to explain the LSND experiment and still be in agreement with solar and
atmospheric data for neutrino oscillation.Comment: About 5 pages, no-figure
Discrete symmetries, invisible axion and lepton number symmetry in an economic 3-3-1 model
We show that Peccei-Quinn and lepton number symmetries can be a natural
outcome in a 3-3-1 model with right-handed neutrinos after imposing a Z_11 x
Z_2 symmetry. This symmetry is suitably accommodated in this model when we
augmented its spectrum by including merely one singlet scalar field. We work
out the breaking of the Peccei-Quinn symmetry, yielding the axion, and study
the phenomenological consequences. The main result of this work is that the
solution to the strong CP problem can be implemented in a natural way, implying
an invisible axion phenomenologically unconstrained, free of domain wall
formation and constituting a good candidate for the cold dark matter.Comment: 17 pages, Revtex
Seesaw tau lepton mass and calculable neutrino masses in a 3-3-1 model
In a version of the 3-3-1 model proposed by Duong and Ma the introduction of
the scalar sextet for giving mass to the charged leptons is avoided by adding a
singlet charged lepton. We show that in this case the lepton gains mass
through a seesaw--like mechanism. Besides we show how to generate neutrino
masses at the tree and at the 1-loop level with the respective
Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata leptonic mixing matrices.Comment: revtex, 5 pages and one eps figure. Published versio
Possible Gauge Theoretic Origin for Quark-Lepton Complementarity
Similarity between the weak interaction properties of quarks and leptons has
led to suggestions that the origin of lepton mixing angles may be related to
those of quarks. In this paper, we present a gauge model based on group that leads to a new form for the quark
lepton complementarity which predicts the solar neutrino mixing angle in terms
of the Cabibbo angle for the case of inverted mass hierarchy for neutrinos. We
also indicate how these ideas can be implemented in an inspired
trinification model, which is more
closely allied to string theory by the AdS/CFT correspondence.Comment: 9 pages, latex, no figures; presentation improved; results unchanged;
