AbstractIn extensions of the standard model by Majorana fermions, the presence of additional CP violating phases has been shown to play a crucial role in lepton number violating processes. In this work we show that (Dirac and Majorana) CP violating phases can also lead to important effects in charged lepton flavour violating (cLFV) transitions and decays, in some cases with a significant impact for the predicted rates of cLFV observables. We conduct a thorough exploration of these effects in several cLFV observables, and discuss the implications for future observation. We emphasise how the presence of leptonic CP violating phases might lead to modified cLFV rates, and to a possible loss of correlation between cLFV observables.

Lepton flavour is a conserved quantity in the standard model of particle physics, but it does not follow from an underlying gauge symmetry. After the discovery of neutrino oscillation, it has been established that lepton flavour is not conserved in the neutral sector. Thus the lepton sector is an excellent place to look for New Physics, and in this perspective the Charged Lepton Flavour Violation is interesting. Various extensions of the standard model predict lepton flavour violating decays that can be observed at LHC. This report summarises several searches for lepton flavour violation with data collected by the CMS detector.

The mixing among gauge bosons in the 3-3-1 models with the discrete symmetries is investigated. To get tribimaximal neutrino mixing, we have to introduce sextets containing neutral scalar components with lepton numberL=1,2. Assignation of VEVs to these fields leads to the mixing of the new gauge bosons and those in the standard model. The mixing in the charged gauge bosons leads to the lepton number violating interactions of theWboson. The same situation happens in the neutral gauge boson sector.

We consider all possible scalar bilinears, which couple to two fermions of the standard model. The various baryon and lepton number violating couplings allowed by these exotic scalars are studied. We then discuss which are constrained by limits on proton decay (to a lepton and a meson as well as to three leptons), neutron–antineutron oscillations, and neutrinoless double beta decay.

Neutrinoless double beta decay is a lepton number violating process which is not allowed in the Standard Model (SM) of the electroweak interaction. The discovery of this process will be an unambiguous confirmation of the existence of New Physics outside the SM. At this moment many experiments are being conducted aimed at searching for neutrinoless double beta decay on various isotopes (76Ge, 136Xe, 130Te, 100Mo, etc.). The paper presents a brief overview of the results of some current projects, such as GERDA, MAJORANA, KamLAND-Zen, EXO-200, CUORE and SuperNEMO, and plans for creating a new generation experiments.

Dark, chiral fermions carrying lepton flavor quantum numbers are natural candidates for freeze-in. Small couplings with the Standard Model fermions of the order of lepton Yukawas are `automatic' in the limit of Minimal Flavor Violation. In the absence of total lepton number violating interactions, particles with certain representations under the flavor group remain absolutely stable. For masses in the GeV-TeV range, the simplest model with three flavors, leads to signals at future direct detection experiments like DARWIN. Interestingly, freeze-in with a smaller flavor group such as SU(2) is already being probed by XENON1T.

Abstract We study the Standard Model with gauged $$ {\mathrm{\mathbb{Z}}}_{N=2,3,6}^{(1)} $$ ℤ N = 2 , 3 , 6 1 subgroups of its $$ {\mathrm{\mathbb{Z}}}_6^{(1)} $$ ℤ 6 1 1-form global symmetry, making the gauge group $$ \frac{\mathrm{SU}(3)\times \mathrm{SU}(2)\times \mathrm{U}(1)}{{\mathrm{\mathbb{Z}}}_N} $$ SU 3 × SU 2 × U 1 ℤ N . We show that, on a finite $$ {\mathbbm{T}}^3 $$ T 3 , there are self-dual instantons of fractional topological charge. They mediate baryon- and lepton-number violating processes. We compare their amplitudes to the ones due to the usual BPST-instantons. We find that the small hypercharge coupling suppresses the fractional-instanton contribution, unless the torus size is taken sub-Planckian, or extra matter is added above the weak scale. We also discuss these results in light of the cosmological bounds on the torus size.

The explanation of the small neutrino mass can be depicted using some handsome models like type-I and inverse seesaw where the Standard Model gauge singlet heavy right-handed neutrinos are deployed. The common thing in these two models is a lepton number violating parameter, however, its order of magnitude creates a striking difference between them making the nature of the right-handed heavy neutrinos a major play factor. In the type-I seesaw a large lepton number violating parameter involves the heavy right-handed neutrinos in the form of Majorana fermions while a small lepton number violating parameter being involved in the inverse seesaw demands the pseudo-Dirac nature of the heavy right-handed neutrinos. Such heavy neutrinos are accommodated in these models through the sizable mixings with the Standard Model light neutrinos. In this paper we consider the purely inverse seesaw scenario to study the pair production of the pseudo-Dirac heavy neutrinos followed by their various multilepton decay modes through the leading branching fraction at the leading order and next-to-leading order QCD at the LHC with a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV and a luminosity of 3000 fb[Formula: see text]. We also consider a prospective 100 TeV hadron collider with luminosities of 3000 fb[Formula: see text] and 30,000 fb[Formula: see text], respectively to study the process. Using anomalous multilepton search performed by the CMS at the 8 TeV with 19.5 fb[Formula: see text] luminosity we show prospective search reaches of the mixing angles for the three lepton and four lepton events at the 13 TeV LHC and 100 TeV hadron collider.
