Sterile neutrinos as dark matter

I describe the sterile neutrino dark matter candidate and discuss how it may fit into the overall picture of physics beyond the Standard Model. ...

Search for Heavy Neutral Leptons with LHCb

Serhii Cholak

This thesis presents a search for a beyond the Standard Model (SM) heavy neutral lepton (HNL), which does not interact via any of the SM interactions. This hypothetical particle has been proposed by multiple theories as an extension to the SM, and it could ...

Euclid: modelling massive neutrinos in cosmology a code comparison

Georges Meylan, Bo Li, Yi Wang, Richard Massey

The measurement of the absolute neutrino mass scale from cosmological largescale clustering data is one of the key science goals of the Euclid mission. Such a measurement relies on precise modelling of the impact of neutrinos on structure formation, which ...

Freeze-in and freeze-out generation of lepton asymmetries after baryogenesis in the nu MSM

Shintaro Eijima

The nu MSM an extension of the Standard Model by three relatively light singlet Majorana fermions N-1,N-2,N-3 allows for the generation of lepton asymmetry which is several orders of magnitude larger than the observed baryon asymmetry of the Universe. The ...

Low-scale leptogenesis with flavour and CP symmetries

Marco Drewes, Juraj Klaric, Yannis Georis

We consider a type-I seesaw framework endowed with a flavour symmetry, belonging to the series of non-abelian groups increment (3 n(2)) and increment (6 n(2)), and a CP symmetry. Breaking these symmetries in a non-trivial way results in the right-handed ne ...

Nuclear Excitation by Free Muon Capture

Fabrizio Carbone, Ivan Madan, Simone Gargiulo

Efficient excitation of nuclei via exchange of a real or virtual photon has a fundamental importance for nuclear science and technology development. Here, we present a mechanism of nuclear excitation based on the capture of a free muon into the atomic orbi ...

MeV-scale seesaw and leptogenesis

Marco Drewes, Valerie Fiona Domcke, Michele Lucente

We study the type-I seesaw model with three right-handed neutrinos and Majorana masses below the pion mass. In this mass range, the model parameter space is not only strongly constrained by the requirement to explain the light neutrino masses, but also by ...

Reconciling resonant leptogenesis and baryogenesis via neutrino oscillations

Inar Timiryasov, Juraj Klaric

Right-handed neutrinos offer an elegant solution to two well-established phenomena beyond the Standard Model (SM)-masses and oscillations of neutrinos, as well as the baryon asymmetry of the Universe. It is also a minimalistic solution, since it requires o ...

An allowed window for heavy neutral leptons below the kaon mass

Alexey Boyarsky, Oleg Ruchayskiy, Inar Timiryasov, Kyrylo Bondarenko, Juraj Klaric

The extension of the Standard Model with two gauge-singlet Majorana fermions can simultaneously explain two beyond-the-Standard-model phenomena: neutrino masses and oscillations, as well as the origin of the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the Universe. The ...

Uniting Low-Scale Leptogenesis Mechanisms

Inar Timiryasov, Juraj Klaric

In this Letter we demonstrate that what was previously considered as different mechanisms of baryon asymmetry generation involving two right-handed Majorana neutrinos with masses far below the Grand Unified Theory scale-leptogenesis via neutrino oscillatio ...
