    Two-loop Neutrino Model with Exotic Leptons

    Full text link
    We propose a two-loop induced neutrino mass model, in which we show some bench mark points to satisfy the observed neutrino oscillation, the constraints of lepton flavor violations, and the relic density in the co-annihilation system satisfying the current upper bound on the spin independent scattering cross section with nuclei. We also discuss new sources of muon anomalous magnetic moment.Comment: 20 pages, 1 figure, 4 table

    X-ray line in Radiative Neutrino Model with Global U(1)U(1) Symmetry

    Full text link
    We study a three loop induced radiative neutrino model with global U(1)U(1) symmetry at TeV scale, in which we consider two component dark matter particles. We discuss the possibility to explain the X-ray line signal at about 3.55 keV recently reported by XMN-Newton X-ray observatory using data of various galaxy clusters and Andromeda galaxy. Subsequently, we also discuss to show that sizable muon anomalous magnetic moment, a discrepancy of the effective number of neutrino species ΔNeff≈\Delta N_{\rm eff}\approx 0.39, and scattering cross section detected by direct detection searches can be derived.Comment: 14 pages, 3 figures, 1 table; version accepted for publication in Physical Review

    Neutrinophilic two Higgs doublet model with U(1)U(1) global symmetry

    Full text link
    We propose a neutrinophilic two-Higgs-doublet model, where the vacuum expectation value (VEV) of the second Higgs doublet is only induced at one-loop level via several neutral fermions. Thus, the masses of active neutrinos arising from the Higgs doublets are naturally small via such a tiny VEV. We discuss various phenomenology of the model, including the neutrino masses and oscillations, bounds on non-unitarity, lepton-flavor violations, the oblique parameters, the muon anomalous magnetic moment, the GeV-scale sterile neutrino candidate arising from the tiny VEV, and collider signatures. We finally discuss the possibility of detecting the sterile neutrino suggested in the experiment of Future Circular Collider (FCC).Comment: 20 pages, 3 figure, 2 tables; reference added; figures and discussions are adde

    A Two Loop Radiative Neutrino Model

    Full text link
    We explore the possibility to explain a bosonic dark matter candidate with a gauge singlet inside the loop to generate the neutrino mass matrix at two-loop level. The mass matrix is suppressed by a small mixing that comes from the bound on {direct detection experiments of the dark matter, and equivalent of the three-loop neutrino model due to the small mixing between neutral inert bosons. Here, our setup is} the Zee-Babu type scenario with Z3Z_3 discrete symmetry, in which we consider the neutrino oscillation data, lepton flavor violations, muon g−2g-2, μ−e\mu-e conversion rate, lepton flavor-changing and conserving ZZ boson decay and bosonic dark matter candidate.Comment: 16 pages, 5 figures, 2 tables; reference added, typos corrected; the model extended, figures changed, title changed, version accepted for publication in Nuclear Physics

    Nonthermal dark matter models and signals

    Full text link
    Many experiments exploring weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) such as direct, indirect and collider searches have been carried out until now. However, a clear signal of a WIMP has not been found yet and it makes us to suspect that WIMPs are questionable as a dark matter candidate. Taking into account this situation, we propose two models in which dark matter relic density is produced by decay of a metastable particle. In the first model, the metastable particle is a feebly interacting massive particle, which is the so-called FIMP produced by freeze-in mechanism in the early universe. In the second model, the decaying particle is thermally produced the same as the usual WIMP. However decay of the particle into dark matter is led by a higher dimensional operator. As a phenomenologically interesting feature of nonthermal dark matter discussed in this paper, a strong sharp gamma-ray emission as an indirect detection signal occurs due to internal bremsstrahlung, although some parameter space has already been ruled out by this process. Moreover combining other experimental and theoretical constraints such as dark matter relic density, big bang nucleosynthesis, collider, gamma-rays and perturbativity of couplings, we discuss the two nonthermal DM models.Comment: 20 pages, 3 figures, 2 tables, version to appear in PR

    Higgs Triplet Model with Classically Conformal Invariance

    Full text link
    We discuss an extension of the minimal Higgs triplet model with a classically conformal invariance and with a gauged U(1)B−LU(1)_{B-L} symmetry. In our scenario, tiny masses of neutrinos are generated by a hybrid contribution from the type-I and type-II seesaw mechanisms. The shape of the Higgs potential at low energies is determined by solving one-loop renormalization group equations for all the scalar quartic couplings with a set of initial values of parameters at the Planck scale. We find a successful set of the parameters in which the U(1)B−LU(1)_{B-L} symmetry is radiatively broken via the Coleman-Weinberg mechanism at the O{\cal O}(10) TeV scale, and the electroweak symmetry breaking is also triggered by the U(1)B−LU(1)_{B-L} breaking. Under this configuration, we can predict various low energy observables such as the mass spectrum of extra Higgs bosons, and the mixing angles. Furthermore, using these predicted mass parameters, we obtain upper limits on Yukawa couplings among an isospin triplet Higgs field and lepton doublets from lepton flavor violation data.Comment: References adde

    Radiative Seesaw Model with Degenerate Majorana Dark Matter

    Full text link
    We study a three loop induced neutrino mass model with exotic vector-like isospin doublet leptons which contain a dark matter candidate. Then we explore lepton flavor violations, and dark matter physics in co-annihilation system. In this paper the nearly degenerate Majorana fermion dark matter can naturally be achieved at the two loop level, while the mass splitting can be larger than O{\cal O}(200) keV which is required from the constraint of the direct detection search with spin independent inelastic scattering through ZZ boson portal. As a result a monochromatic photon excess, its threshold energy is greater than O{\cal O}(200) keV, is predicted in our model that could be measured through indirect detection experiments such as INTEGRAL.Comment: 17 pages, 1 figure, 2 table

    Three Loop Neutrino Model with Isolated k±±k^{\pm\pm}

    Full text link
    We propose a three loop radiative neutrino mass scenario with an isolated doubly charged singlet scalar k±±k^{\pm\pm} without couplings to the charged leptons, while two other singly charged scalars h1±h_1^\pm and h2±h_2^\pm attach to them. In this setup, the lepton flavor violation originating from k±±k^{\pm\pm} exchanges is suppressed and the model is less constrained, where some couplings can take sizable values. As reported in our previous work, the loop suppression factor at the three loop level would be too strong and realized neutrino masses in a three loop scenario could be smaller than the observed minuscule values. The sizable couplings can help us to enhance neutrino masses without drastically large scalar trilinear couplings appearing in a neutrino mass matrix, which tends to drive the vacuum stability to become jeopardized at the one loop level. Now the doubly charged scalar k±±k^{\pm\pm} has less constraint via lepton flavor violation and the vacuum can be quite stable, and thus a few hundred GeV mass in k±±k^{\pm\pm} is possible, which is within the LHC reach and this model can be tested in the near future. Note that the other h1±h_1^\pm and h2±h_2^\pm should be heavy at least around a few TeV. We suitably arrange the charges of an additional global U(1)U(1) symmetry, where the decay constant of the associated Nambu-Goldstone boson can be around a TeV scale consistently. Also, this model is indirectly limited through a global analysis on results of the LHC Higgs search and issues on a dark matter candidate, the lightest Majorana neutrino. After h1±h_1^\pm and h2±h_2^\pm are decoupled, this particle couples to the standard model particles only through two charge parity even scalars in theory and thus information on this scalar sector is important. Consistent solutions are found, but a part of them is now on the edge.Comment: 48 pages, 9 figures, 6 tables (v3): published version from PRD, title changed, typos corrected, new discussions adde

    An SU(2)LSU(2)_L Septet Scalar Linking to Radiative Neutrino Model

    Full text link
    We study a radiative neutrino model with a SU(2) septet scalar with hypercharge Y=2Y=2 where active neutrino mass is induced at a one-loop level. Calculating a one-loop diagram, mass matrices for active neutrino is derived. We also analyze lepton flavor violations, anomalous magnetic moment of muon and the flavor violating Higgs decay h→μτh \to \mu \tau. Then sizable muon g−2g-2 and ∼1%\sim 1 \% of BR(h→μτ)BR(h \to \mu \tau) could be obtained in our set up. Furthermore, the collider signature of the septet is discussed where we focus on quadratically charged scalar at the LHC 14 TeV. We find that it could be discovered up to 1.51.5 TeV mass by searching multi charged lepton signal events.Comment: 20 pages, 4 figures, 3 tables, references added. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1512.0668
