Heavy Neutral Leptons from low-scale seesaws at the DUNE Near Detector
Peter Ballett, Tommaso Boschi, Silvia Pascoli
Heavy nearly-sterile neutrinos are a common ingredient in extensions of the Standard Model which aim to explain neutrino masses, like for instance in Type I seesaw models, or one o…
Neutrino Masses from a Dark Neutrino Sector below the Electroweak Scale
Peter Ballett, Matheus Hostert, Silvia Pascoli
We consider a minimal extension of the Standard Model which advocates a dark neutrino sector charged under a hidden . We show that neutrino masses can arise radiativel…
Dark Neutrinos and a Three Portal Connection to the Standard Model
Peter Ballett, Matheus Hostert, Silvia Pascoli
We introduce a dark neutrino sector which respects a hidden gauge symmetry, subsequently broken by the vacuum expectation value of a dark scalar. The model is a self-…

Peter Ballett, Matheus Hostert, Silvia Pascoli +3
Novel leptophilic neutral currents can be tested at upcoming neutrino oscillation experiments using two complementary processes, neutrino trident production and neutrino-electron (…
U(1)' mediated decays of heavy sterile neutrinos in MiniBooNE
Peter Ballett, Silvia Pascoli, Mark Ross-Lonergan
The MiniBooNE low-energy excess is a longstanding problem which has received further confirmation recently with a reanalysis using newly collected data, with the anomaly now at the…
Neutrino Trident Scattering at Near Detectors
Peter Ballett, Matheus Hostert, Silvia Pascoli +3
Neutrino trident scattering is a rare Standard Model process where a charged-lepton pair is produced in neutrino-nucleus scattering. To date, only the dimuon final-state has been o…

Searching for MeV-scale Neutrinos with the DUNE Near Detector
P. Ballett, T. Boschi, S. Pascoli
Adding right-handed neutrinos to the Standard Model is a natural and simple extension and is well motivated on both the theoretical and the experimental side. We extend the Standar…

ProtoDUNE-SP is the single-phase DUNE Far Detector prototype that is under construction and will be operated at the CERN Neutrino Platform (NP) starting in 2018. ProtoDUNE-SP, a cr…
Light Sterile Neutrinos at STORM: Decoherence and CP violation
Peter Ballett, Matheus Hostert, Silvia Pascoli
Light sterile neutrino oscillations can be partially or completely washed out at short-baseline experiments due to the breaking of neutrino production coherence. In this work we ad…

Mixing angle and phase correlations from A5 with generalised CP and their prospects for discovery
Peter Ballett, Silvia Pascoli, Jessica Turner
The observed leptonic mixing pattern could be explained by the presence of a discrete flavour symmetry broken into residual subgroups at low energies. In this scenario, a residual…
