Neutrino Oscillations at JUNO, the Born Rule, and Sorkin's Triple Path Interference
Patrick Huber, Hisakazu Minakata, Djordje Minic +2
We argue that neutrino oscillations at JUNO offer a unique opportunity to study Sorkin's triple-path interference, which is predicted to be zero in canonical quantum mechanics by v…
Interference and Oscillation in Nambu Quantum Mechanics
Djordje Minic, Tatsu Takeuchi, Chia Hsiung Tze
Nambu Quantum Mechanics, proposed in Phys. Lett. B536, 305 (2002), is a deformation of canonical Quantum Mechanics in which only the time-evolution of the "phases" of energy eigens…
Higgs Inflation, Vacuum Stability, and Leptogenesis
Neil D. Barrie, Akio Sugamoto, Tatsu Takeuchi +1
We consider the introduction of a complex scalar field carrying a global lepton number charge to the Standard Model and the Higgs inflation framework. The conditions are investigat…
Constraints on Flavor-Diagonal Non-Standard Neutrino Interactions from Borexino Phase-II
S. K. Agarwalla, M. Agostini, K. Altenmüller +103
The Borexino detector measures solar neutrino fluxes via neutrino-electron elastic scattering. Observed spectra are determined by the solar- survival probability …
Pendulum Leptogenesis
Kazuharu Bamba, Neil D. Barrie, Akio Sugamoto +2
We propose a new non-thermal Leptogenesis mechanism that takes place during the reheating epoch, and utilizes the Ratchet mechanism. The interplay between the oscillation of the in…
-decay anomalies and scalar leptoquarks in unified Pati-Salam models from noncommutative geometry
Ufuk Aydemir, Djordje Minic, Chen Sun +1
Motivated by possible scalar-leptoquark explanations of the recently reported -decay anomalies, we investigate whether the required leptoquarks can be accommodated within models…

Kazuharu Bamba, Neil D. Barrie, Akio Sugamoto +2
A new scenario of baryogenesis via the ratchet mechanism is proposed based on an analogy to the forced pendulum. The oscillation of the inflaton field during the reheating epoch af…

Ufuk Aydemir, Djordje Minic, Chen Sun +1
We discuss a possible interpretation of the GeV diphoton resonance, recently reported at the LHC, within a class of models with gauge coup…
Pati-Salam Unification from Non-commutative Geometry and the TeV-scale boson
Ufuk Aydemir, Djordje Minic, Chen Sun +1
We analyze the compatibility of the unified left-right symmetric Pati-Salam models motivated by non-commutative geometry and the TeV scale right-handed W boson suggested by recent…
Running of Oscillation Parameters in Matter with Flavor-Diagonal Non-Standard Interactions of the Neutrino
Sanjib Kumar Agarwalla, Yee Kao, Debashis Saha +1
In this article we unravel the role of matter effect in neutrino oscillation in the presence of lepton-flavor-conserving, non-universal non-standard interactions (NSI's) of the neu…
The Higgs Mass, Superconnections and the TeV-scale Left-Right Symmetric Model
Ufuk Aydemir, Djordje Minic, Chen Sun +1
We discuss the physical implications of formulating the Standard Model (SM) in terms of the superconnection formalism involving the superalgebra su(2/1). In particular, we discuss…

We investigate the physical implications of formulating the electroweak (EW) part of the Standard Model (SM) in terms of a superconnection involving the supergroup SU(2/1). In part…
Analytical Approximation of the Neutrino Oscillation Matter Effects at large
Sanjib Kumar Agarwalla, Yee Kao, Tatsu Takeuchi
We argue that the neutrino oscillation probabilities in matter are best understood by allowing the mixing angles and mass-squared differences in the standard parametrization to `ru…
