The transition between the broken and unbroken phases of massive gauge theories, namely the rearrangement of longitudinal and Goldstone degrees of freedom that occurs at high energy, is not manifestly smooth in the standard formalism. The lack of smoothnes ...

Natural seesaw and leptogenesis from hybrid of high-scale type I and TeV-scale inverse

Majid Ekhterachian, Luca Vecchi

We develop an extension of the basic inverse seesaw model which addresses simultaneously two of its drawbacks, namely, the lack of explanation of the tiny Majorana mass term for the TeV-scale singlet fermions and the difficulty in achieving successful lept ...

Electroweak baryogenesis above the electroweak scale

Riccardo Rattazzi, Alfredo Glioti, Luca Vecchi

Conventional scenarios of electroweak (EW) baryogenesis are strongly constrained by experimental searches for CP violation beyond the SM. We propose an alternative scenario where the EW phase transition and baryogenesis occur at temperatures of the order o ...

Hybrid seesaw leptogenesis and TeV singlets

Majid Ekhterachian, Luca Vecchi

The appealing feature of inverse seesaw models is that the Standard Model (SM) neutrino mass emerges from the exchange of TeV scale singlets with sizable Yukawa couplings, which can be tested at colliders. However, the tiny Majorana mass splitting between ...

The bearable compositeness of leptons

Luca Vecchi

Partial compositeness as a theory of flavor in the lepton sector is assessed. We begin presenting the first systematic analysis of neutrino mass generation in this context, and identifying the distinctive mass textures. We then update the bounds from charg ...

On Partial Compositeness and the CP asymmetry in charm decays

Riccardo Rattazzi, Duccio Pappadopulo, Luca Vecchi, Paolo Lodone, Boaz Keren Zur

Recently, the LHCb and CDF Collaborations reported the measure of an unexpectedly large direct CP asymmetry in D meson decays. In this paper we ask if new physics associated with Partial Compositeness could plausibly explain this result. We find that Compo ...
