Leptogenesis from first principles in the resonant regime

Mathias Garny, Alexander Kartavtsev, Andreas Hohenegger

The lepton asymmetry generated by the out-of-equilibrium decays of heavy Majorana neutrinos with a quasi-degenerate mass spectrum is resonantly enhanced. In this work, we study thi…

Kinetic Equations for Baryogenesis via Sterile Neutrino Oscillation

Takehiko Asaka, Shintaro Eijima, Hiroyuki Ishida

We investigate baryogenesis in the MSM (neutrino Minimal Standard Model), which is the MSM extended by three right-handed neutrinos with masses below the electroweak scale. The…

RG running in a minimal UED model in light of recent LHC Higgs mass bounds

Mattias Blennow, Henrik Melbeus, Tommy Ohlsson +1

We study how the recent ATLAS and CMS Higgs mass bounds affect the renormalization group running of the physical parameters in universal extra dimensions. Using the running of the…

"Hidden" O(2) and SO(2) Symmetry in Lepton Mixing

Julian Heeck, Werner Rodejohann

To generate the minimal neutrino Majorana mass matrix that has a free solar mixing angle and Delta m_sol^2 = 0 it suffices to implement an O(2) symmetry, or one of its subgroups SO…

Impacts of the Higgs mass on vacuum stability, running fermion masses and two-body Higgs decays

Zhi-zhong Xing, He Zhang, Shun Zhou

The latest results of the ATLAS and CMS experiments indicate 116 GeV \lesssim M_H \lesssim 131 GeV and 115 GeV \lesssim M_H \lesssim 127 GeV, respectively, for the mass of the Higg…

Planck Scale Boundary Conditions and the Higgs Mass

Martin Holthausen, Kher Sham Lim, Manfred Lindner

If the LHC does only find a Higgs boson in the low mass region and no other new physics, then one should reconsider scenarios where the Standard Model with three right-handed neutr…

On the annual modulation signal in dark matter direct detection

Juan Herrero-Garcia, Thomas Schwetz, Jure Zupan

We derive constraints on the annual modulation signal in Dark Matter (DM) direct detection experiments in terms of the unmodulated event rate. A general bound independent of the de…

Evaluation of the resonance enhancement effect in neutrinoless double-electron capture in 152Gd, 164Er and 180W atoms

Dong-Lianf Fang, K. Blaum, S. Eliseev +4

We study the resonant neutrinoless double-electron capture (0nECEC) in 152Gd, 164Er and 180W atoms, associated with the ground-state to ground-state nuclear transitions. The corres…

Multi-Parton Interactions at the LHC

P. Bartalini, E. L. Berger, B. Blok +20

We review the recent progress in the theoretical description and experimental observation of multiple parton interactions. Subjects covered include experimental measurements of min…

A remark on the Koide relation for quarks

A. Kartavtsev

The charged lepton masses obey to high precision the so-called Koide relation. We propose a generalization of this relation to quarks. It includes up and down quarks of the three g…

Extremely high-intensity laser interactions with fundamental quantum systems

A. Di Piazza, C. Müller, K. Z. Hatsagortsyan +1

The field of laser-matter interaction traditionally deals with the response of atoms, molecules and plasmas to an external light wave. However, the recent sustained technological p…

Anomalous quark-gluon chromomagnetic interaction and high energy -meson electroproduction

Nikolai Korchagin, Nikolai Kochelev, Nikolai Nikolaev

It is shown that existence of a large anomalous chromomagnetic moment of quark induced by non-perturbative structure of QCD leads to the additional contribution to exclusive -me…

Natural Vacuum Alignment from Group Theory: The Minimal Case

Martin Holthausen, Michael A. Schmidt

Discrete flavour symmetries have been proven successful in explaining the leptonic flavour structure. To account for the observed mixing pattern, the flavour symmetry has to be bro…

Kinetic and mass mixing with three abelian groups

Julian Heeck, Werner Rodejohann

We present the possible mixing effects associated with the low-energy limit of a Standard-Model extension by two abelian gauge groups U(1)_1 x U(1)_2. We derive general formulae an…

Inflationary baryogenesis with low reheating temperature and testable neutron-antineutron oscillation

Pei-Hong Gu, Utpal Sarkar

Recently we extended the standard model by four TeV-scale fields including a singlet fermion, an isotriplet and two isosinglet diquark scalars to generate the cosmological baryon a…

Light Dark Matter in the light of CRESST-II

Joachim Kopp, Thomas Schwetz, Jure Zupan

Recently the CRESST collaboration has published the long anticipated results of their direct Dark Matter (DM) detection experiment with a CaWO_4 target. The number of observed even…

Light Sterile Neutrino in the Minimal Extended Seesaw

He Zhang

Motivated by the recent observations on sterile neutrinos, we present a minimal extension of the canonical type-I seesaw by adding one extra singlet fermion. After the decoupling o…

Sterile Neutrinos for Warm Dark Matter and the Reactor Anomaly in Flavor Symmetry Models

James Barry, Werner Rodejohann, He Zhang

We construct a flavor symmetry model based on the tetrahedral group A_4 in which the right-handed neutrinos from the seesaw mechanism can be both keV warm dark matter particles and…

Common origin of baryon asymmetry and proton decay

Pei-Hong Gu, Utpal Sarkar

A successful baryogenesis theory requires a baryon-minus-lepton number violation if it works before the electroweak phase transition. The baryon-minus-lepton number violation could…

Four-jet final state in same-sign lepton colliders and neutrinoless double beta decay mechanisms

C. H. Kom, Werner Rodejohann

If neutrinoless double beta decay is observed, it will be important to understand the mechanism(s) behind this process. Using a minimal supersymmetric extension to the Standard Mod…
