Imprints of massive inverse seesaw model neutrinos in lepton flavor violating Higgs boson decays
In this paper we consider a Higgs boson with mass and other properties
compatible with those of the recently discovered Higgs particle at the LHC, and
explore the possibility of new Higgs leptonic decays, beyond the standard
model, with the singular feature of being lepton flavor violating (LFV). We
study these LFV Higgs decays, , within the context of the
inverse seesaw model (ISS) and consider the most generic case where three
additional pairs of massive right-handed singlet neutrinos are added to the
standard model particle content. We require in addition that the input
parameters of this ISS model are compatible with the present neutrino data and
other constraints, like perturbativity of the neutrino Yukawa couplings. We
present a full one-loop computation of the BR() rates for
the three possible channels, , and analyze in full detail the predictions as functions of the
various relevant ISS parameters. We study in parallel the correlated one-loop
predictions for the radiative decays, , within this same
ISS context, and require full compatibility of our predictions with the present
experimental bounds for the three radiative decays, , , and . After exploring the ISS parameter
space we conclude on the maximum allowed LFV Higgs decay rates within the ISS.Comment: 29 pages, 13 figures, 1 table, 1 appendix: v4 matches the manuscript

Exotic events from heavy ISS neutrinos at the LHC
In this letter we study new relevant phenomenological consequences of the
right-handed heavy neutrinos with masses at the TeV energy scale,
working within the context of the Inverse Seesaw Model that includes three
pairs of quasi-degenerate pseudo-Dirac heavy neutrinos. We propose a new exotic
signal of these heavy neutrinos at the CERN Large Hadron Collider containing a
muon, a tau lepton, and two jets in the final state, which is based on the
interesting fact that this model can incorporate large Lepton Flavor Violation
for specific choices of the relevant parameters, particularly, the neutrino
Yukawa couplings. We will show here that an observable number of
exotic events, without missing energy, can be produced at this ongoing run of
the LHC.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures. This version v3 matches the manuscript published

Enhancement of the lepton flavor violating Higgs boson decay rates from SUSY loops in the inverse seesaw model
In this article we study the full one-loop SUSY contributions to the lepton
flavor violating Higgs decay , within the context of the
supersymmetric inverse sesaw model. We assume that both the right-handed
neutrino masses, , and their supersymmetric partner masses, , are not far from the interesting energy scale,
and we work with scenarios with large neutrino Yukawa couplings that transmit
large lepton flavor violating effects. By exploring the behavior with the most
relevant parameters, mainly , and the trilinear
sneutrino coupling , we will look for regions of the parameter space
where the enhancement of is large
enough to reach values at the percent level, which could explain the excess
recently reported by CMS and ATLAS at the CERN Large Hadron Collider.Comment: 14 pages, 5 figures, 2 new figures, 1 new section and 2 new

Production of vector resonances at the LHC via WZ-scattering: a unitarized EChL analysis
In the present work we study the production of vector resonances at the LHC
by means of the vector boson scattering and explore the
sensitivities to these resonances for the expected future LHC luminosities. We
are assuming that these vector resonances are generated dynamically from the
self interactions of the longitudinal gauge bosons, and , and work
under the framework of the electroweak chiral Lagrangian to describe in a model
independent way the supposedly strong dynamics of these modes. The properties
of the vector resonances, mass, width and couplings to the and gauge
bosons are derived from the inverse amplitude method approach. We implement all
these features into a single model, the IAM-MC, adapted for MonteCarlo, built
in a Lagrangian language in terms of the electroweak chiral Lagrangian and a
chiral Lagrangian for the vector resonances, which mimics the resonant behavior
of the IAM and provides unitary amplitudes. The model has been implemented in
MadGraph, allowing us to perform a realistic study of the signal versus
background events at the LHC. In particular, we have focused our study on the
type of events, discussing first on the potential of the hadronic
and semileptonic channels of the final , and next exploring in more detail
the clearest signals. These are provided by the leptonic decays of the gauge
bosons, leading to a final state with ,
, having a very distinctive signature, and showing clearly the
emergence of the resonances with masses in the range of 1.5-2.5 TeV, which we
have explored.Comment: Revised version accepted for publication in JHEP. Enlarged analysis.

Exotic <i>μ τ jj</i> events from heavy ISS neutrinos at the LHC
In this letter we study new relevant phenomenological consequences of the right-handed heavy neutrinos with masses at the O(1)TeV energy scale, working within the context of the Inverse Seesaw Model that includes three pairs of quasi-degenerate pseudo-Dirac heavy neutrinos. We propose a new exotic signal of these heavy neutrinos at the CERN Large Hadron Collider containing a muon, a tau lepton, and two jets in the final state, which is based on the interesting fact that this model can incorporate large Lepton Flavor Violation for specific choices of the relevant parameters, particularly, the neutrino Yukawa couplings. We will show here that an observable number of μτ. jj exotic events, without missing energy, can be produced at this ongoing run of the LHC.Instituto de FÃsica La Plat
