Radiatively Induced Neutrino Mass Model with Flavor Dependent Gauge Symmetry

We study a radiative seesaw model at one-loop level with a flavor dependent gauge symmetry $U(1)_{μ-τ}$, in which we consider bosonic dark matter. We also analyze the constraints from lepton flavor violations, muon $g-2$, relic density of dark matter, and collider physics, and carry out numerical analysis to search for allowed parameter region which satisfy all the constraints and to investigate some predictions. Furthermore we find that a simple but adhoc hypothesis induces specific two zero texture with inverse mass matrix, which provides us several predictions such as a specific pattern of Dirac CP phase.

A generalized one-loop neutrino mass model with charged particles

We propose a radiative neutrino-mass model by introducing 3 generations of fermion pairs $E^{-(N+1)/2} E^{+(N+1)/2}$ and a couple of multi-charged bosonic doublet fields $Φ_{N/2}, Φ_{N/2+1}$, where $N=1,3,5,7,9$. We show that the models can satisfy the neutrino masses and oscillation data, and are consistent with lepton-flavor violations, the muon anomalous magnetic moment, the oblique parameters, and the beta function of the $U(1)_Y$ hypercharge gauge coupling. We also discuss the collider signals for various $N$, namely, multi-charged leptons in the final state from the Drell-Yan production of $E^{-(N+1)/2} E^{+(N+1)/2}$. In general, the larger the $N$ the more charged leptons will appear in the final state.

Neutrinophilic two Higgs doublet model with $U(1)$ global symmetry

We propose a neutrinophilic two-Higgs-doublet model, where the vacuum expectation value (VEV) of the second Higgs doublet is only induced at one-loop level via several neutral fermions. Thus, the masses of active neutrinos arising from the Higgs doublets are naturally small via such a tiny VEV. We discuss various phenomenology of the model, including the neutrino masses and oscillations, bounds on non-unitarity, lepton-flavor violations, the oblique parameters, the muon anomalous magnetic moment, the GeV-scale sterile neutrino candidate arising from the tiny VEV, and collider signatures. We finally discuss the possibility of detecting the sterile neutrino suggested in the experiment of Future Circular Collider (FCC).

Neutrino mass in flavor dependent gauged lepton model

We study a neutrino model introducing an additional nontrivial gauged lepton symmetry where the neutrino masses are induced at two-loop level while the first and second charged-leptons of the standard model are done at one-loop level. As a result of model structure, we can predict one massless active neutrino, and there is a dark matter candidate. Then we discuss neutrino mass matrix, muon anomalous magnetic moment, lepton flavor violations, oblique parameters, and relic density of dark matter taking into account the experimental constraints.

Neutrinophilic two Higgs doublet model with dark matter under an alternative $U(1)_{B-L}$ gauge symmetry

We propose Dirac type active neutrino with rank two mass matrix and a Majorana fermion dark matter candidate with an alternative local $U(1)_{B-L}$ extension of neutrinophilic two Higgs doublet model. Our dark matter candidate can be stabilized due to charge assignment under the gauge symmetry without imposing extra discrete $Z_2$ symmetry and the relic density is obtained from $Z'$ boson exchanging process. Taking into account collider constraints on $Z'$ boson mass and coupling, we estimate the relic density.

Discriminating leptonic Yukawa interactions with doubly charged scalar at the ILC

We explore discrimination of two types of leptonic Yukawa interactions associated with Higgs triplet, $\bar L^c_L ΔL_L$, and with $SU(2)$ singlet doubly charged scalar, $\bar e_R^c k^{++} e_R$. These interactions can be distinguished by measuring the effects of doubly charged scalar boson exchange in the $e^+ e^- \to \ell^+ ell^-$ processes at polarized electron-positron colliders. We study a forward-backward asymmetry of scattering angular distribution to estimate the sensitivity for these effects at the ILC. In addition, we investigate prospects of upper bounds on the Yukawa couplings by combining the constraints of lepton flavor violation processes and the $e^+ e^- \to \ell^+ \ell^-$ processes at the LEP and the ILC.

Neutrino masses, dark matter and leptogenesis with $U(1)_{B-L}$ gauge symmetry

We propose a model with an $U(1)_{B-L}$ gauge symmetry, in which small neutrino masses, dark matter and the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the Universe can be simultaneously explained. In particular, the neutrino masses are generated radiatively, while the matter-antimatter asymmetry is led by the leptogenesis mechanism, at TeV scale. We also explore allowed regions of the model parameters and discuss some phenomenological effects including lepton flavor violating processes.

A radiative neutrino mass model in light of DAMPE excess with hidden gauged $U(1)$ symmetry

We propose a one-loop induced neutrino mass model with hidden $U(1)$ gauge symmetry, in which we successfully involve a bosonic dark matter (DM) candidate propagating inside a loop diagram in neutrino mass generation to explain the $e^+e^-$ excess recently reported by the DArk Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) experiment. In our scenario dark matter annihilates into four leptons through $Z'$ boson as DM DM $\to Z' Z' (Z' \to \ell^+ \ell^-)$ and $Z'$ decays into leptons via one-loop effect. We then investigate branching ratios of $Z'$ taking into account lepton flavor violations and neutrino oscillation data.

Left-handed and right-handed U(1) gauge symmetry

We propose a model with the left-handed and right-handed continuous Abelian gauge symmetry; $U(1)_L\times U(1)_R$. Then three right-handed neutrinos are naturally required to achieve $U(1)_R$ anomaly cancellations, while several mirror fermions are also needed to do $U(1)_L$ anomaly cancellations. Then we formulate the model, and discuss its testability of the new gauge interactions at collider physics such as the large hadron collider (LHC) and the international linear collider (ILC). In particular, we can investigate chiral structure of the interactions by the analysis of forward-backward asymmetry based on polarized beam at the ILC.

Minimal realization of right-handed gauge symmetry

We propose a minimally extended gauge symmetry model with $U(1)_R$, where only the right-handed fermions have nonzero charges in the fermion sector. To achieve both anomaly cancellations and minimality, three right-handed neutrinos are naturally required, and the standard model Higgs has to have nonzero charge under this symmetry. Then we find that its breaking scale($Λ$) is restricted by precise measurement of neutral gauge boson in the standard model; therefore, ${\cal O}$(10) TeV$\lesssim Λ$. We also discuss its testability of the new gauge boson and discrimination of $U(1)_R$ model from $U(1)_{B-L}$ one at collider physics such as LHC and ILC.

Radiative seesaw models linking to dark matter candidates inspired by the DAMPE excess

We propose two possibilities to explain an excess of electron/positron flux around 1.4 TeV recently reported by Dark Matter Explore (DAMPE) in the framework of radiative seesaw models where one of them provides a fermionic dark matter candidate, and the other one provides a bosonic dark matter candidate. We also show unique features of both models regarding neutrino mass structure.

Neutrino mass with large $SU(2)_L$ multiplet fields

We propose an extension of the standard model introducing large $SU(2)_L$ multiplet fields which are quartet and septet scalars and quintet Majorana fermions. These multiplets can induce the neutrino masses via interactions with the $SU(2)$ doublet leptons. We then find the neutrino masses are suppressed by small vacuum expectation value of the quartet/septet and an inverse of quintet fermion mass relaxing the Yukawa hierarchies among the standard model fermions. We also discuss collider physics at the Large Hadron Collider considering production of charged particles in these multiplets, and due to effects of violating custodial symmetry, some specific signatures can be found. Then we discuss the detectability of these signals.

Excesses of muon $g-2$, $R_{D^{(\ast)}}$, and $R_K$ in a leptoquark model

In this study, we investigate muon $g-2$, $R_{K^{(*)}}$, and $R_{D^{(*)}}$ anomalies in a specific model with one doublet, one triplet, and one singlet scalar leptoquark (LQ). When the strict limits from the $\ell' \to \ell γ$, $ΔB=2$, $B_{s}\to μ^+ μ^-$, and $B^+ \to K^+ ν\barν$ processes are considered, it is difficult to use one scalar LQ to explain all of the anomalies due to the strong correlations among the constraints and observables. After ignoring the constraints and small couplings, the muon $g-2$ can be explained by the doublet LQ alone due to the $m_t$ enhancement, whereas the measured and unexpected smaller $R_{K^{(*)}}$ requires the combined effects of the doublet and triplet LQs, and the $R_D$ and $R_{D^*}$ excesses depend on the singlet LQ through scalar- and tensor-type interactions.

Loop induced type-II seesaw model and GeV dark matter with $U(1)_{B-L}$ gauge symmetry

We propose a model with $U(1)_{B-L}$ gauge symmetry and several new fermions in no conflict with anomaly cancellation where the neutrino masses are given by the vacuum expectation value of Higgs triplet induced at the one-loop level. The new fermions are odd under discrete $Z_2$ symmetry and the lightest one becomes dark matter candidate. We find that the mass of dark matter is typically $O(1)$-$O(10)$ GeV. Then relic density of the dark matter is discussed.

A testable radiative neutrino mass model with multi-charged particles

We propose a radiatively-induced neutrino mass model at one-loop level by introducing a pair of doubly-charged fermions and a few multi-charged bosons. We investigate the contributions of the model to neutrino masses, lepton-flavor violations, muon $g-2$, oblique parameters, and collider signals, and find a substantial fraction of the parameter space that can satisfy all the constraints. Furthermore, we discuss the possibility of detecting the doubly-charged fermions at the LHC.

Generation of radiative neutrino mass in the linear seesaw framework, charged lepton flavor violation and dark matter

We investigate a model with local U(1)$_{B-L}$ and discrete $Z_2$ symmetries where two types of weak isospin singlet neutrinos, vector-like charged lepton and exotic scalar fields are introduced. The linear seesaw mechanism is induced at one-loop level through Yukawa interactions associated with the standard model leptons and exotic fields. We also discuss lepton flavor violation and muon anomalous dipole magnetic moment induced by the new Yukawa interaction. In addition, our model has dark matter candidate which is the lightest $Z_2$ odd neutral particle. We calculate the relic density and constraints from direct detection.

A flavor dependent gauge symmetry, Predictive radiative seesaw and LHCb anomalies

We propose a predictive radiative seesaw model at one-loop level with a flavor dependent gauge symmetry $U(1)_{xB_3-xe-μ+τ}$ and Majorana fermion dark matter. For the neutrino mass matrix, we obtain an $A_1$ type texture (with two zeros) that provides us several predictions such as the normal ordering for the neutrino masses. We analyze the constraints from lepton flavor violations, relic density of dark matter, and collider physics for the new $U(1)_{xB_3-xe-μ+τ}$ gauge boson. Within the allowed region, the LHCb anomalies in $B\rightarrow K^* μ^+ μ^-$ and $B\rightarrow K \ell^+ \ell^-$ with $\ell=e$ or $μ$ can be resolved, and such $Z'$ could be also observed at the LHC.

Loop suppressed light fermion masses with $U(1)_R$ gauge symmetry

We propose a model with two Higgs doublet where quark and charged-lepton masses in the first and second families are induced at one-loop level, and neutrino masses are induced at the two-loop level. In our model we introduce an extra $U(1)_R$ gauge symmetry that plays a crucial role in achieving desired terms in no conflict with anomaly cancellation. We show the mechanism to generate fermion masses, the resultant mass matrices and Yukawa interactions in mass eigenstates, and discuss several interesting phenomenologies such as muon anomalous magnetic dipole moment and dark matter candidate that are arisen from this model.
