Effective Field Theories for New and Old Physics

Effective Field Theories have changed our understanding of Quantum Field Theories. This thesis shows several applications of this powerful tool in the context of the Standard Model and for searches of New Physics. The thesis starts with a review of the St ...

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

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Shintaro Eijima, Inar Timiryasov

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 ...

Reconciling resonant leptogenesis and baryogenesis via neutrino oscillations

Mikhail Chapochnikov, 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 ...

Uniting Low-Scale Leptogenesis Mechanisms

Mikhail Chapochnikov, 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 ...

MeV-scale seesaw and leptogenesis

Marco Drewes, Michele Lucente, Valerie Fiona Domcke

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 ...

Spontaneous baryogenesis from axions with generic couplings

Valerie Fiona Domcke

Axion-like particles can source the baryon asymmetry of our Universe through spontaneous baryogenesis. Here we clarify that this is a generic outcome for essentially any coupling of an axion-like particle to the Standard Model, requiring only a non-zero ve ...

Dirac vs. Majorana HNLs (and their oscillations) at SHiP

Inar Timiryasov

SHiP is a proposed high-intensity beam dump experiment set to operate at the CERN SPS. It is expected to have an unprecedented sensitivity to a variety of models containing feebly interacting particles, such as Heavy Neutral Leptons (HNLs). Two HNLs or mor ...

Parameter space of baryogenesis in the nu MSM

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Shintaro Eijima, Inar Timiryasov

The Standard Model accompanied with two right-handed neutrinos with masses below the weak scale can explain the observed baryon asymmetry of the Universe. Moreover, this model is at least partially testable in the forthcoming experiments such as NA62, SHiP ...

Electroweak baryogenesis above the electroweak scale

Riccardo Rattazzi, Luca Vecchi, Alfredo Glioti

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 ...

Low-scale leptogenesis with three heavy neutrinos

Marco Drewes, Michele Lucente, Juraj Klaric, Valerie Fiona Domcke

Leptogenesis induced by the oscillations of GeV-scale neutrinos provides a minimal and testable explanation of the baryon asymmetry of the Universe. In this work we extend previous studies invoking only two heavy neutrinos to the case of three heavy neutri ...

Baryogenesis in the vMSM: recent developments

Inar Timiryasov

Extension of the Standard Model with two right-handed neutrinos provides an economic and testable explanation of the origin of the baryon asymmetry of the Universe. We review recent progress in understanding dynamics of the asymmetry generation. We also pr ...

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 ...

Freeze-out of baryon number in low-scale leptogenesis

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Shintaro Eijima, Inar Timiryasov

Low-scale leptogenesis provides an economic and testable description of the origin of the baryon asymmetry of the Universe. In this scenario, the baryon asymmetry of the Universe is reprocessed from the lepton asymmetry by electroweak sphaleron processes. ...

Initial condition for baryogenesis via neutrino oscillation

Shintaro Eijima

We consider a baryogenesis scenario via the oscillation of right-handed neutrinos with Majorana masses of the order of GeV, which are also responsible for neutrino masses by the seesaw mechanism. We study how the initial condition alters the prediction of ...

Fermion number violating effects in low scale leptogenesis

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Shintaro Eijima

The existence of baryon asymmetry and dark matter in the Universe may be related to CP-violating reactions of three heavy neutral leptons (HNLs) with masses well below the Fermi scale. The dynamical description of the lepton asymmetry generation, which is ...

Asymmetric dark matter and baryogenesis from pseudoscalar inflation

Yann David Cado, Eray Sabancilar

We show that both the baryon asymmetry of the Universe and the dark matter abundance can be explained within a single framework that makes use of maximally helical hypermagnetic fields produced during pseudoscalar inflation and the chiral anomaly in the St ...

Neutrinoless double beta decay and low scale leptogenesis

Marco Drewes, Shintaro Eijima

The extension of the Standard Model by right handed neutrinos with masses in the GeV range can simultaneously explain the observed neutrino masses via the seesaw mechanism and the baryon asymmetry of the universe via leptogenesis. It has previously been cl ...

Hypermagnetic fields and baryon asymmetry from pseudoscalar inflation

Eray Sabancilar

We show that maximally helical hypermagnetic fields produced during pseudoscalar inflation can generate the observed baryon asymmetry of the Universe via the B + L anomaly in the Standard Model. We find that most of the parameter space of pseudoscalar infl ...

Lepton universality in the nu MSM
