A measurement of coherent neutral pion production in neutrino neutral current interactions in the NOMAD experiment

Minh Tâm Tran, Ji Hyun Kim, Jean-Pierre Meyer

We present a study of exclusive neutral pion production in neutrino-nucleus Neutral Current interactions using data from the NOMAD experiment at the CERN SPS. The data correspond to 1.44 × 106 muon-neutrino Charged Current interactions in the energy range ...

Limits on a Muon Flux from Neutralino Annihilations in the Sun with the IceCube 22-String Detector

Shirit Cohen, Mathieu Ribordy, Levent Demirörs, Xiaoxia Bai

A search for muon neutrinos from neutralino annihilations in the Sun has been performed with the IceCube 22-string neutrino detector using data collected in 104.3 days of live time in 2007. No excess over the expected atmospheric background has been observ ...

Search for ultra-high-energy neutrinos with AMANDA-II

Mathieu Ribordy, Levent Demirörs, Yi Wang, Xiaoxia Bai

A search for diffuse neutrinos with energies in excess of 105 GeV is conducted with AMANDA-II data recorded between 2000 and 2002. Above 107 GeV, the Earth is essentially opaque to neutrinos. This fact, combined with the limited overburden of the AMANDA-II ...

Viability of Dirac phase leptogenesis

Steve Blanchet

We discuss the conditions for a non-vanishing Dirac phase delta and mixing angle theta(13), sources of CP violation in neutrino oscillations, to be uniquely responsible for the observed matter - antimatter asymmetry of the Universe through leptogenesis. We ...

Bounding scalar operator dimensions in 4D CFT

Riccardo Rattazzi, Alessandro Vichi

In an arbitrary unitary 4D CFT we consider a scalar operator phi, and the operator phi(2) defined as the lowest dimension scalar which appears in the OPE phi x phi with a nonzero coefficient. Using general considerations of OPE, conformal block decompositi ...

Flavour effects on leptogenesis predictions

Steve Blanchet

Flavor effects in leptogenesis reduce the region of the see-saw parameter space where the final predictions do not depend on the initial conditions, the strong wash-out regime. In this case we show that the lowest bounds holding on the lightest right-hande ...

The nuMSM, inflation, and dark matter

Igor Tkachev

We show how to enlarge the νMSM (the minimal extension of the Standard Model by three right-handed neutrinos) to incorporate inflation and provide a common source for electroweak symmetry breaking and for right-handed neutrino masses. In addition to inflat ...

Opening a new window for warm dark matter

We explore the range of parameters for dark-matter sterile neutrinos in an extension of the Minimal Standard Model by three singlet fermions with masses below the electroweak scale (the νMSM). This simple model can explain a wide range of phenomena, includ ...

The nuMSM, dark matter and baryon asymmetry of the universe

We show that the extension of the standard model by three right-handed neutrinos with masses smaller than the electroweak scale (the νMSM) can explain simultaneously dark matter and baryon asymmetry of the universe and be consistent with the experiments on ...

The nuMSM, dark matter and neutrino masses

Steve Blanchet

We investigate an extension of the Minimal Standard Model by right-handed neutrinos (the νMSM) to incorporate neutrino masses consistent with oscillation experiments. Within this theory, the only candidates for dark matter particles are sterile right-hande ...
