Defect-Mediated Conversion: Dark Matter from Cosmological Domain-Wall Scattering
João Paulo Pinheiro, Mohamed Younes Sassi
We propose a new mechanism for dark matter genesis, \emph{Defect-Mediated Conversion} (DMC). Cosmological domain walls can host a scalar condensate in their core acting as a mixing…
Earth rotation turns event timing into a geometric probe of UHE neutrino origin
Andrew Cheek, João Paulo Pinheiro, Jordi Salvado
It has been proposed that the ultra-high-energy (UHE) event detected by KM3NeT could be explained by dark matter (DM) decay. Prima facie this seems unlikely becau…
Improving the robustness of the determination with SCOPE
João Paulo Pinheiro, Salvador Urrea
The determination of leptonic CP violation is a primary goal of future long-baseline neutrino experiments such as DUNE and T2HK. The extraction of relies on the n…
Complementarity Between Neutrino Neutral and Charged Current Events in the Search for New Physics
Julia Gehrlein, Jaime Hoefken Zink, Pedro A. N. Machado +1
At long-baseline neutrino experiments, neutral-current (NC) events accumulate in large numbers but are seldom exploited for new physics searches. We demonstrate their potential usi…
Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering at the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex
J. I. Collar, Ivan Esteban, J. J. Gomez-Cadenas +8
The Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex (J-PARC) currently delivers a 1 MW, 3 GeV proton beam to the Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility (MLF). Power is expected…
Three decades of FCNC studies in 3-3-1 model with right-handed neutrinos: from -dominance to the alignment limit
Patricio Escalona, João Paulo Pinheiro, Vinícius Oliveira +2
Flavor-changing neutral current (FCNC) processes play a prominent role in the search for physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) due to their sensitivity to new physics at the TeV s…
Leptoquark-induced radiative masses for active and sterile neutrinos within the framework of the 3-3-1 model
A. Doff, João Paulo Pinheiro, C. A. de S. Pires
In this work, we introduce the minimal set of leptoquarks into the 3-3-1 model with right-handed neutrinos, capable of generating radiative masses for active neutrinos. As a main c…
Solar Model Independent Constraints on the Sterile Neutrino Interpretation of the Gallium Anomaly
M. C. Gonzalez-Garcia, Michele Maltoni, João Paulo Pinheiro
We perform a global analysis of most up-to-date solar neutrino data and KamLAND reactor antineutrino data in the framework of the 3+1 sterile neutrino mixing scenario (invoked to e…
NuFit-6.0: Updated global analysis of three-flavor neutrino oscillations
Ivan Esteban, M. C. Gonzalez-Garcia, Michele Maltoni +3
We present an updated global analysis of neutrino oscillation data as of September 2024. The parameters , , , and () are wel…
Exploring solutions to the muon g-2 anomaly in a 3-3-1 model under flavor constraints
A. Doff, Joao Paulo Pinheiro, C. A. de S. Pires
The magnetic moment of the muon can receive significant two-loop contributions from a light pseudoscalar. Notably, the spectrum of scalars of 3-3-1 models include one pseudoscalar.…
Solar neutrinos and leptonic spin forces
Saeed Ansarifard, M. C. Gonzalez-Garcia, Michele Maltoni +1
We quantify the effects of light spin-zero particles with pseudoscalar couplings to leptons and scalar couplings to nucleons on the evolution of solar neutrinos. In this scenario t…
Status of Direct Determination of Solar Neutrino Fluxes after Borexino
M. C. Gonzalez-Garcia, Michele Maltoni, João Paulo Pinheiro +1
We determine the solar neutrino fluxes from the global analysis of the most up-to-date terrestrial and solar neutrino data including the final results of the three phases of Borexi…
Global constraints on non-standard neutrino interactions with quarks and electrons
Pilar Coloma, M. C. Gonzalez-Garcia, Michele Maltoni +2
We derive new constraints on effective four-fermion neutrino non-standard interactions with both quarks and electrons. This is done through the global analysis of neutrino oscillat…
On the Higgs spectra of the 3-3-1 model with the sextet of scalars engendering the type II seesaw mechanism
Joao Paulo Pinheiro, C. A. de S. Pires
In the 3-3-1 model with right-handed neutrinos, three triplets of scalars engender the correct sequence of symmetry breaking, $SU(3)_C \times SU(3)_L \times U(1)_X \rightarrow SU(3…
On the Higgs spectra of the 3-3-1 model
Joao Paulo Pinheiro, C. A. de S. Pires
The minimal scalar sector of the 3-3-1 model is composed by the SU(3) triplet scalars , , and its potential allows the trilinear term . Since $…
Constraining New Physics with Borexino Phase-II spectral data
Pilar Coloma, M. C. Gonzalez-Garcia, Michele Maltoni +2
We present a detailed analysis of the spectral data of Borexino Phase II, with the aim of exploiting its full potential to constrain scenarios beyond the Standard Model. In particu…
Confronting the inverse seesaw mechanism with the recent muon g-2 result
João Paulo Pinheiro, C. A. de S. Pires, Farinaldo S. Queiroz +1
Since the heavy neutrinos of the inverse seesaw mechanism mix largely with the standard ones, the charged currents formed with them and the muons have the potential of generating r…
Vacuum stability and spontaneous violation of the lepton number at low energy scale in a model for light sterile neutrinos
João Paulo Pinheiro, C. A. de S. Pires
It is well known that the Standard Model of the Electroweak interactions rests on a metastable vacuum. This can only be fixed by means of new physics. Presently neutrino physics pr…
