We investigate Non-Standard Neutrino Interactions (NSI) arising from a flavor-sensitive Z'Z′ boson of a new U(1)'U(1)′ symmetry. We compare the limits from neutrino oscillations, coherent elastic neutrino–nucleus scattering, and Z'Z′ searches at different beam and collider experiments for a variety of straightforward anomaly-free U(1)'U(1)′ models generated by linear combinations of B-LB−L and lepton-family-number differences L_\alpha-L_\betaLα−Lβ. Depending on the flavor structure of those models it is easily possible to avoid NSI signals in long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments or change the relative importance of the various experimental searches. We also point out that kinetic ZZ–Z'Z′ mixing gives vanishing NSI in long-baseline experiments if a direct coupling between the U(1)'U(1)′ gauge boson and matter is absent. In contrast, ZZ–Z'Z′ mass mixing generates such NSI, which in turn means that there is a Higgs multiplet charged under both the Standard Model and the new U(1)'U(1)′ symmetry.

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.

There is a growing interest for the search of new light gauge bosons. The small mass of a new boson can turn various kinds of low-energy experiments to a new discovery machine, depending on their couplings to the Standard Model particles. It is important to understand the properties of each type of gauge boson and their current constraints for a given mass. While the dark photon (which couples to the electric charges) and the [Formula: see text] gauge boson have been well studied in an extensive mass range, the [Formula: see text] gauge boson has not been fully investigated yet. We consider the gauge boson of the [Formula: see text] in a wide mass range [Formula: see text] and investigate the constraints on its coupling from various experiments, discussing the similarities and differences from the dark photon and the [Formula: see text] gauge boson.

Extra neutral gauge bosons suggested by models beyond the standard model can indirectly show up in e+e- collisions through off-resonance deviations of various physical observables from the corresponding standard model values. We considered leptonic observables and studied the dependence of the deviations on the polarizations of the positron and electron beams. We showed that, for a given model, the magnitude of the deviation of a given observable can attain its maximum value if the polarizations of the positron and electron beams are properly chosen. We determined, for a given model, a single set of beam polarization so that if this set is employed in measuring all considered observables, it produces the highest extra gauge boson discovery limits.

Abstract A core-collapse supernova (CCSN) provides a unique astrophysical site for studying neutrino–matter interactions. Prior to the shock-breakout neutrino burst during the collapse of the iron core, a preshock ν e burst arises from the electron capture of nuclei and it is sensitive to the low-energy coherent elastic neutrino–nucleus scattering (CEνNS) which dominates the neutrino opacity. Since the CEνNS depends strongly on nonstandard neutrino interactions (NSIs), which are completely beyond the standard model and yet to be determined, the detection of the preshock burst thus provides a clean way to extract the NSI information. Within the spherically symmetric general-relativistic hydrodynamic simulation for the CCSN, we investigate the NSI effects on the preshock burst. We find that the NSI can maximally enhance the peak luminosity of the preshock burst almost by a factor of three, reaching a value comparable to that of the shock-breakout burst. Future detection of the preshock burst will have critical implications on astrophysics, neutrino physics, and physics beyond the standard model.

Flavour anomalies have attracted a lot of attention over recent years as they provide unique hints for possible New Physics. Here, we consider a supersymmetric (SUSY) extension of the Standard Model (SM) with an additional anomaly-free gauge U(1) group. The key feature of our model is the particular choice of non-universal charges to the gauge boson Z′, which not only allows a relaxation of the flavour discrepancies but, contrary to previous studies, can reproduce the SM mixing matrices both in the quark and lepton sectors. We pay special attention to the latter and explicitly enumerate all parameters relevant for our calculation in the low-energy effective theory. We find regions in the parameter space that satisfy experimental constraints on meson mixing and LHC Z′ searches and can alleviate the flavour anomalies. In addition, we also discuss the predictions for lepton-flavour violating decays B+→K+μτ and B+→K+eτ.

We present the phenomenology of the low scale U(1)B–L extension of the standard model and its implications at LHC. We show that this model provides a natural explanation for the presence of three right-handed neutrinos and can naturally account the observed neutrino masses and mixing. We study the decay and production of the extra gauge boson and the SM singlet scalar (heavy Higgs) predicted in this type of models. We find that the cross sections of the SM-like Higgs production are reduced by ~ 20% – 30%, while its decay branching ratios remain intact. The extra Higgs has relatively small cross sections and the branching ratios of Z′ → l+l− are of order ~ 20% compared to ~ 3% of the SM results.

In the Standard Model the electroweak coupling of the gauge bosons to leptons is independent of the lepton flavour. Semileptonic and rare decays of b quarks provide an ideal laboratory to test this property. Any violation of Lepton Flavour Universality would be a clear sign of physics beyond the Standard Model. In this work a review of the Lepton Flavour Universality tests performed using data collected by the LHCb experiment in 2011 and 2012 at a centre of mass energy of 7 and 8 TeV is presented.

Interactions of the technidilaton with fermions and gauge bosons are obtained by constructing a low energy effective Lagrangian and using the fact that the technidilaton couples to the trace of the energy-momentum tensor Θµµ. Technidilaton’s interactions are compared with those of the Higgs bosons of the Standard Model with one or two scalar doublets.

Recent searches for physics beyond the Standard Model at high energy colliders are presented. The main focus is on searches for supersymmetry, extra dimensions and new gauge bosons. In all search analyses the data are found to agree well with the Standard Model background expectation and no evidence for contributions from physics beyond the Standard Model is found. The data are thus used to place limits on new physics scenarios.
