One-loop matching in the SMEFT extended with a sterile neutrino

Abstract

We study the phenomenology of the simplest renormalisable model that, at low energy, leads to the effective field theory of the Standard Model extended with right-handed neutrinos ($\nu$SMEFT). Our aim is twofold. First, to contextualise new collider signatures in models with sterile neutrinos so far studied only using the bottom-up approach. And second and more important, to provide a thorough example of one-loop matching in the diagrammatic approach, of which other matching techniques and automatic tools can benefit for cross-checks. As byproducts of this work, we provide for the first time: (i) a complete off-shell basis for the $\nu$SMEFT and explicit relations between operators linked by equations of motion; (ii) a complete basis for the low-energy effective field theory ($\nu$LEFT) and the tree-level matching onto the $\nu$SMEFT; (iii) partial one-loop anomalous dimensions in the $\nu$LEFT. This way, our work comprises a new step forward towards the systematisation of one-loop computations in effective field theories, especially if the SM neutrinos are Dirac.

36 pages, 11 figures, 4 tables; Appendix C on matching renormalisable terms with four new figures added; Tab. 4 containing all $\nu$LEFT dimension-six lepton number violating operators involving a sterile neutrino added; Fig. 6 in v1 and the corresponding discussion removed; several comments and references added; typos corrected; matches version published in JHEP
