A chiral gauge-invariant model for Majorana neutrinos
arXiv:1902.09950
Abstract
The article investigates the possibility that right-handed neutrinos are Majorana particles embedded in an abelian multiplicative factor, with the Lagrangian in the new factor being invariant under chiral gauge transformations. Majorana neutrinos couple to charged and neutral currents, producing new signatures to (anti)neutrino-electron elastic scattering and an additional term to coherent scattering of neutrinos on atomic nuclei. The model is ultraviolet complete and depends on one extra hypercharge correlating the reactions and providing upper bounds for the new coupling constant.
