    New Class of Two-Loop Neutrino Mass Models with Distinguishable Phenomenology

    Full text link
    We discuss a new class of neutrino mass models generated in two loops, and explore specifically three new physics scenarios: (A) doubly charged scalar, (B) dark matter, and (C) leptoquark and diquark, which are verifiable at the 14 TeV LHC Run-II. We point out how the different Higgs insertions will distinguish our two-loop topology with others if the new particles in the loop are in the simplest representations of the SM gauge group

    Optical Monitoring of the Seyfert Galaxy NGC 4151 and Possible Periodicities in the Historical Light Curve

    Full text link
    We report B, V, and R band CCD photometry of the Seyfert galaxy NGC 4151 obtained with the 1.0-m telescope at Weihai Observatory of Shandong University and the 1.56-m telescope at Shanghai Astronomical Observatory from 2005 December to 2013 February. Combining all available data from literature, we have constructed a historical light curve from 1910 to 2013 to study the periodicity of the source using three different methods (the Jurkevich method, the Lomb-Scargle periodogram method and the Discrete Correlation Function method). We find possible periods of P_1=4\pm0.1, P_2=7.5\pm0.3 and P_3=15.9\pm0.3 yr.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figures, Accepted by Research in Astronomy and Astrophysic

    Hexagonal SU(3) Unification and its Manifestation at the TeV Scale

    Full text link
    We consider SU(3)C×SU(2)AL×SU(2)BL×U(1)YSU(3)_{C}\times SU(2)_{AL}\times SU(2)_{BL}\times U(1)_{Y} as the low-energy subgroup of supersymmetric SU(3)6SU(3)^{6} unification. This may imply small deviations from quark-lepton universality at the TeV scale, as allowed by neutron-decay data. New particles are predicted with specific properties. We discuss in particular the new heavy gauge bosons corresponding to SU(2)AL×SU(2)BLSU(2)LSU(2)_{AL} \times SU(2)_{BL} \to SU(2)_L
