Opportunities for probing $U(1{)}_{T3R}$ with light mediators

Abstract

We consider strategies for using new datasets to probe scenarios in which light right-handed SM fermions couple to a new gauge group, $U(1{)}_{T3R}$. This scenario provides a natural explanation for the light flavor sector scale, and a motivation for sub-GeV dark matter. There is parameter space which is currently allowed, but we find that much of it can be probed with future experiments. In particular, cosmological and astrophysical observations, neutrino experiments and experiments which search for displaced visible decay or invisible decay can all play a role. Still, there is a small region of parameter space which even these upcoming experiments will not be able to probe. This model can explain the observed 2.4-3$\sigma$ excess of events at the COHERENT experiment in the parameter space allowed by current laboratory experiments, but the ongoing/upcoming laboratory experiments will decisively probe this possibility.

manuscript is revised, main results are unchanged, updated discussions and figures for clarifications
