New physics in $WW\gamma$ at one loop via Majorana neutrinos

Abstract

Current experimental data guarantees the presence of physics beyond the Standard Model in the neutrino sector. The responsible physical description might show itself through virtual effects on low-energy observables. In particular, massive neutrinos are able to produce contributions to the triple gauge coupling $WW\gamma$. The present paper deals with the calculation, estimation and analysis of one-loop contributions from Majorana neutrinos to the Lorentz-covariant $WW\gamma$ parametrization. Our calculations show that CP-odd effects vanish exactly, whereas CP-even contributions, $\Delta \kappa$ and $\Delta Q$, remain. According to our estimations, the effects from heavy neutrinos with masses in the range of hundreds of GeVs dominate over those from light neutrinos. This investigation shows that contributions from heavy Majorana neutrinos to the anomaly $\Delta \kappa$ could be as large as $\sim \mathcal{O}(10^{-3})$, one order of magnitude below the Standard-Model contribution. We find that the International Linear Collider, sensitive to triple gauge couplings participating in $WW$ production, might measure these effects in electron-positron collisions at a center-of-mass energy of $800\mathrm{GeV}$, as long as heavy-neutrino masses are $\gtrsim 300\mathrm{GeV}$ and below $\sim 1500\mathrm{GeV}$.
