Left-Right Symmetry at FCC-hh
We study the production of right-handed bosons and heavy neutrinos
at a future 100 TeV high energy hadron collider in the context of Left-Right
symmetry, including the effects of gauge-boson mixing. We estimate
the collider reach for up to 3/ab integrated luminosity using a multi-binned
sensitivity measure. In the Keung-Senjanovi\'c and missing energy channels, the
3 sensitivity extends up to and 37 TeV, respectively. We
further clarify the interplay between the missing energy channel and the
(expected) limits from neutrinoless double beta decay searches, Big Bang
nucleosynthesis and dark matter.Comment: 19 pages, version to appear in PR
Analytic thin wall false vacuum decay rate
We derive a closed-form false vacuum decay rate at one loop in the thin wall
limit, where the true and false vacua are nearly degenerate. We obtain the
bounce configuration in dimensions, together with the Euclidean action with
a higher order correction, counter-terms and renormalization group running. We
extract the functional determinant via the Gel'fand-Yaglom theorem for low and
generic orbital multipoles. The negative and zero eigenvalues appear for low
multipoles and the translational zeroes are removed. We compute the
fluctuations for generic multipoles, multiply and regulate the orbital modes.
We find an explicit finite renormalized decay rate in and give a
closed-form expression for the finite functional determinant in any dimension.Comment: 22 pages plus 5 appendices, published in JHEP. In v4 we updated the
final result in D=4, after the addition of a term missed in the previous
versions. The result in D=3 is unchange
Probing seesaw at LHC
We have recently proposed a simple SU(5) theory with an adjoint fermionic
multiplet on top of the usual minimal spectrum. This leads to the hybrid
scenario of both type I and type III seesaw and it predicts the existence of
the fermionic SU(2) triplet between 100 GeV and 1 TeV for a conventional GUT
scale of about 10^{16} GeV, with main decays into W (Z) and leptons, correlated
through Dirac Yukawa couplings, and lifetimes shorter than about 10^{-12} sec.
These decays are lepton number violating and they offer an exciting signature
of Delta L=2 dilepton events together with 4 jets at future pp (p\bar p)
colliders. Increasing the triplet mass endangers the proton stability and so
the seesaw mechanism could be directly testable at LHC.Comment: 19 pages, discussion on leptogenesis added, new references, main
