Abstract The P2 experiment aims at high-precision measurements of the parity-violating asymmetry in elastic electron-proton and electron-12C scatterings with longitudinally polarized electrons. We discuss here the sensitivity of P2 to new physics mediated by an additional neutral gauge boson Z′ of a new U(1)′ gauge symmetry. If the charge assignment of the U(1)′ is chiral, i.e., left- and right-handed fermions have different charges under U(1)′, additional parity-violation is induced directly. On the other hand, if the U(1)′ has a non-chiral charge assignment, additional parity-violation can be induced via mass or kinetic Z-Z′ mixing. By comparing the P2 sensitivity to existing constraints, we show that in both cases P2 has discovery potential over a wide range of Z′ mass. In particular, for chiral models, the P2 experiment can probe gauge couplings at the order of 10−5 when the Z′ boson is light, and heavy Z′ bosons up to 79 (90) TeV in the proton (12C) mode. For non-chiral models with mass mixing, the P2 experiment is sensitive to mass mixing angles smaller than roughly 10−4, depending on model details and gauge coupling magnitude.

Abstract We report on an interesting realization of the QCD axion, with mass in the range $$ \mathcal{O} $$ O (10) MeV. It has previously been shown that although this scenario is stringently constrained from multiple sources, the model remains viable for a range of parameters that leads to an explanation of the Atomki experiment anomaly. In this article we study in more detail the additional constraints proceeding from recent low energy experiments and study the compatibility of the allowed parameter space with the one leading to consistency of the most recent measurements of the electron anomalous magnetic moment and the fine structure constant. We further provide an ultraviolet completion of this axion variant and show the conditions under which it may lead to the observed quark masses and CKM mixing angles, and remain consistent with experimental constraints on the extended scalar sector appearing in this Standard Model extension. In particular, the decay of the Standard Model-like Higgs boson into two light axions may be relevant and leads to a novel Higgs boson signature that may be searched for at the LHC in the near future.

Long Baseline

Future long baseline neutrino oscillation (LBL) setups are discussed and the remarkable potential for very precise measurements of mass splittings, mixing angles, MSW effects, the sign of Δm2 and leptonic CP violation is shown. Furthermore we discuss the sensitivity improvements which can be obatined by combining the planned JHF-Superkamiokande and the proposed NuMI off-axis experiment.

Significant Deficit

We re-examine neutrino oscillations in exact parity models. Previously it was shown in a specific model that large neutrino mixing angles result. We show here that this is a general result of neutrino mixing in exact parity models provided that the neutrino mass matrix is real. In this case, the effects of neutrino mixing in exact parity models is such that the probability of a given weak eigenstate remaining in that eigenstate averages to less than half when averaged over many oscillations. This result is interesting in view of the accumulating evidence for a significant deficit in the number of solar neutrinos. It may also be of relevance to the atmospheric neutrino anomaly.

Reactor Mixing

To accommodate the recently observed nonzero reactor mixing angle [Formula: see text], we consider the lepton mixing matrix as tri-bimaximal mixing (TBM) form in the leading order along with a perturbation in neutrino sector. The perturbation is taken to be a rotation in 23 plane followed by a rotation in 13 plane, i.e. [Formula: see text]. We obtain the allowed values of the parameters [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], which can accommodate all the observed mixing angles consistently and calculate the phenomenological observables such as the Dirac CP violating phase [Formula: see text], Jarlskog invariant [Formula: see text], effective Majorana mass [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], the electron neutrino mass. We find that [Formula: see text] can take any values between [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] always comes below its experimental upper limit.
