Running of neutrino mass parameters in the Zee model

We analyse the size of quantum corrections in the Zee model using effective field theory techniques. We derive the relevant 1-loop matching conditions and use them together with the existing renormalisation group equations in the two Higgs doublet model to calculate quantum corrections to the neutrino mass squared differences, mixing angles, and phases. Using four benchmark scenarios, we demonstrate when quantum corrections have to be included in studies of neutrino mass parameters in the Zee model.

Selection rules for charged lepton flavour violating processes from residual flavour groups

We systematically investigate the possible phenomenological impact of residual flavour groups in the charged lepton sector. We consider all possible flavour charge assignments for abelian residual symmetries up to Z8. The allowed flavour structures of operators in Standard Model Effective Field Theory (up to dimension six) lead to distinctive and observable patterns of charged lepton flavour violating processes. We illustrate the relevance of such selection rules displaying the current bounds on and the future sensitivities to the new physics scale. These results demonstrate, in particular, the importance and discriminating power of searches for lepton flavour violating tau lepton decays and muonium to antimuonium conversion.
