Neutrino Phenomenology of gauged L_mu - L_tau: MINOS and beyond
Julian Heeck, Werner Rodejohann
If a Z' gauge boson from a gauged L_mu - L_tau symmetry is very light, it is associated with a long-range leptonic force. In this case the particles in the Sun create via mixing of…
Testing the Bimodal/Schizophrenic Neutrino Hypothesis in Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay and Neutrino Telescopes
James Barry, Rabindra N. Mohapatra, Werner Rodejohann
The standard assumption is that all three neutrino mass states are either Dirac or Majorana. However, it was recently suggested by Allaverdi, Dutta and one of the authors (R.N.M.)…
Cascade Textures and SUSY SO(10) GUT
Adisorn Adulpravitchai, Kentaro Kojima, Ryo Takahashi
We give texture analyses of cascade hierarchical mass matrices in supersymmetric SO(10) grand unified theory. We embed cascade mass textures of the standard model fermion with righ…
Direct detection data and possible hints for low-mass WIMPs
Thomas Schwetz
Possible hints for WIMP dark matter with mass around 10 GeV coming from the DAMA, CoGeNT, and maybe also CRESST experiments are presented, and confronted with constraints from CDMS…
Soft L_e-L_mu-L_tau flavour symmetry breaking and sterile neutrino keV Dark Matter
Manfred Lindner, Alexander Merle, Viviana Niro
We discuss how a flavour symmetry that is softly broken leads to keV sterile neutrinos, which are a prime candidate for Warm Dark Matter. This is to our knowledge the…
Natural Inflation and Flavor Mixing from Peccei-Quinn Symmetry Breaking
Pei-Hong Gu, Manfred Lindner
We propose a left-right symmetric model to simultaneously give natural inflation and flavor mixing from a Peccei-Quinn symmetry breaking at the Planck scale. Our model can be embed…
Higgs triplets at like-sign linear colliders and neutrino mixing
Werner Rodejohann, He Zhang
We study the phenomenology of the type-II seesaw model at a linear e^-e^- collider. We show that the process e^-e^- \rightarrow alpha^-beta^- (alpha, beta = e, mu, tau being charge…
Beta decay and other processes in strong electromagnetic fields
Evgeny Akhmedov
We consider effects of the fields of strong electromagnetic waves on various characteristics of quantum processes. After a qualitative discussion of the effects of external fields…
Universal Seesaw from Left-Right and Peccei-Quinn Symmetry Breaking
Pei-Hong Gu, Manfred Lindner
To generate the lepton and quark masses in the left-right symmetric models, we can consider a universal seesaw scenario by integrating out heavy fermion singlets which have the Yuk…
Monte Carlo calculations of pair production in high-intensity laser-plasma interactions
Roland Duclous, John Kirk, Anthony Bell
Gamma-ray and electron-positron pair production will figure prominently in laser-plasma experiments with next generation lasers. Using a Monte Carlo approach we show that stragglin…
Polarization of the electron and positron produced in combined Coulomb and strong laser fields
A. Di Piazza, A. I. Milstein, C. Müller
The process of production in the superposition of a Coulomb and a strong laser field is considered. The pair production rate integrated over the momentum and summed over t…
Nonlinear Compton scattering in ultra-short laser pulses
F. Mackenroth, A. Di Piazza
A detailed analysis of the photon emission spectra of an electron scattered by a laser pulse containing only very few cycles of the carrying electromagnetic field is presented. The…
Low-Energy Signals from Kinetic Mixing with a Warped Abelian Hidden Sector
Kristian L. McDonald, David E. Morrissey
We investigate the detailed phenomenology of a light Abelian hidden sector in the Randall-Sundrum framework. Relative to other works with light hidden sectors, the main new feature…
Radiative Inflation and Dark Energy
Pasquale Di Bari, Stephen F. King, Christoph Luhn +2
We propose a model based on radiative symmetry breaking that combines inflation with Dark Energy and is consistent with the WMAP 7-year regions. The radiative inflationary potentia…
Light Neutrinos from a Mini-Seesaw Mechanism in Warped Space
Kristian L. McDonald
The seesaw mechanism provides a simple explanation for the lightness of the known neutrinos. Under the standard assumption of a weak scale Dirac mass and a heavy sterile Majorana s…
Lower Bounds on U_{e3}
Shamayita Ray, Werner Rodejohann, Michael A. Schmidt
We give minimal values for the smallest lepton mixing parameter U_{e3}, applying 2-loop renormalization group equations in an effective theory approach. This is relevant in scenari…
WIMP Dark Matter and Baryogenesis
Pei-Hong Gu, Manfred Lindner, Utpal Sarkar +1
In the present universe visible and dark matter contribute comparable energy density although they have different properties. This coincidence can be elegantly explained if the dar…
Phenomenological model of multiphoto-production of charged pion pairs on the proton
Anis Dadi, Carsten Müller
The production of charged pion pairs via multiphoton absorption from an intense X-ray laser wave colliding with an ultrarelativistic proton beam is studied. Our calculations includ…
Deviations from Tri-Bimaximality and Quark-Lepton Complementarity
Yusuke Shimizu, Ryo Takahashi
We study deviations from tri-bimaximality (TBM) and quark-lepton complementarity (QLC) in a model independent way. The current neutrino experimental data is well approximated by tr…
QCD-Thermodynamics using 5-dim Gravity
E. Megias, H. J. Pirner, K. Veschgini
We calculate the critical temperature and free energy of the gluon plasma using the dilaton potential arXiv:0911.0627[hep-ph] in the gravity theory of AdS/QCD. The finite temperatu…
Broken Symmetry as a Stabilizing Remnant
Sandy S. C. Law, Kristian L. McDonald
The Goldberger-Wise mechanism enables one to stabilize the length of the warped extra dimension employed in Randall-Sundrum models. In this work we generalize this mechanism to mod…
MiniBooNE and LSND data: non-standard neutrino interactions in a (3+1) scheme versus (3+2) oscillations
Evgeny Akhmedov, Thomas Schwetz
The recently observed event excess in MiniBooNE anti-neutrino data is in agreement with the LSND evidence for electron anti-neutrino appearance. We propose an explanation of these…
Higgs inflation: consistency and generalisations
F. Bezrukov, A. Magnin, M. Shaposhnikov +1
We analyse the self-consistency of inflation in the Standard Model, where the Higgs field has a large non-minimal coupling to gravity. We determine the domain of energies in which…
Neutrino oscillations: Entanglement, energy-momentum conservation and QFT
E. Kh. Akhmedov, A. Yu. Smirnov
We consider several subtle aspects of the theory of neutrino oscillations which have been under discussion recently. We show that the -matrix formalism of quantum field theory c…
