    Neutrino Catalyzed Diphoton Excess

    Full text link
    In this paper we explain the 750 GeV diphoton resonance observed at the run-2 LHC as a scalar singlet SS, that plays a key rule in generating tiny but nonzero Majorana neutrino masses. The model contains four electroweak singlets: two leptoquarks, a singly charged scalar and a neutral scalar SS. Majorana neutrino masses might be generated at the two-loop level as SS get nonzero vacuum expectation value. SS can be produced at the LHC through the gluon fusion and decays into diphoton at the one-loop level with charged scalars running in the loop. The model fits perfectly with a wide width of the resonance. Constraints on the model are investigated, which shows a negligible mixing between the resonance and the standard model Higgs boson.Comment: 15 pages, 4 figures, minor revision, more references adde

    Horava-Lifshitz Type Quantum Field Theory and Hierarchy Problem

    Full text link
    We study the Lifshitz type extension of the standard model (SM) at UV, with dynamical critical exponent z=3. One loop radiative corrections to the Higgs mass in such a model is calculated. Our result shows that, the Hierarchy problem, which has initiated many excellent extension of the minimal SM, can be weakened in the z=3 Lifshitz type quantum field theory.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figure

    ATLAS Diboson Excesses from the Stealth Doublet Model

    The ATLAS collaboration has reported excesses in diboson invariant mass searches of new resonances around 2 TeV, which might be a prediction of new physics around that mass range. We interpret these results in the context of a modified stealth doublet model where the extra Higgs doublet has a Yukawa interaction with the first generation quarks, and show that the heavy CP-even Higgs boson can naturally explain the excesses in the WW and ZZ channels with a small Yukawa coupling, \xi\sim 0.15, and a tiny mixing angle with the SM Higgs boson, \alpha \sim 0.06. Furthermore, the model satisfy constraints from colliders and electroweak precision measurements.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figure

    The Higgs Seesaw Induced Neutrino Masses and Dark Matter

    Get PDF
    In this paper we propose a possible explanation of the active neutrino Majorana masses with the TeV scale new physics which also provide a dark matter candidate. We extend the Standard Model (SM) with a local U(1)' symmetry and introduce a seesaw relation for the vacuum expectation values (VEVs) of the exotic scalar singlets, which break the U(1)' spontaneously. The larger VEV is responsible for generating the Dirac mass term of the heavy neutrinos, while the smaller for the Majorana mass term. As a result active neutrino masses are generated via the modified inverse seesaw mechanism. The lightest of the new fermion singlets, which are introduced to cancel the U(1)' anomalies, can be a stable particle with ultra flavor symmetry and thus a plausible dark matter candidate. We explore the parameter space with constraints from the dark matter relic abundance and dark matter direct detection.Comment: 14 pages, 4 figure
