Effect of Cosmic Neutrino Background on the Dark Matter Self-interaction via Neutrino force

Neutrino-pair exchange induces a neutrino force that can drive dark matter (DM) self-interactions and impact small-scale structure formation. In the presence of the cosmic neutrino background (C$ν$B), this force can be modified, with important consequences for DM phenomenology. We study the effect of the C$ν$B on neutrino forces, generated by the scalar and pseudoscalar interactions. We explore the significance of the background neutrino force on the scalar DM-neutrino portal model, including DM self-scattering and annihilation. Our results show that the interplay between attractive vacuum potential and repulsive background potential leads to a screening effect that varies across DM mass ($m_χ$) regimes, strongly affecting DM self-scattering in the DM mass $m_ν\lesssim m_χ\lesssim T_{C νB}$. Meanwhile, for DM annihilation, the screening completely vanishes the Sommerfeld Enhancement induced by the neutrino force. Overall, the C$ν$B substantially reshapes the viable coupling range for DM self-interactions while remaining compatible with current constraints, offering a pathway to small-scale structure problems.

Electron EDM and $Γ(μ\to e γ)$ in the 2HDM

We present the first complete two-loop calculation of the electric dipole moment of the electron, as well as the rates of the lepton-flavor violating decays $μ\to e + γ$ and $τ\to e/μ+ γ$, in the unconstrained two-Higgs doublet model. We include the most general Yukawa interactions of the Higgs doublets with the Standard Model fermions up to quadratic order, and allow for generic phases in the Higgs potential. A python implementation of our results is provided via a public git repository.

Hadronic CP Violation in the 2HDM

We present the first complete two-loop calculation of the electric and chromo-electric dipole moments of the light quarks and the gluon, as well as contributions to CP-violating lepton-quark interactions, in the unconstrained two-Higgs doublet model. We include the most general Yukawa interactions of the Higgs doublets with the Standard Model fermions up to quadratic order, and allow for generic phases in the Higgs potential. We pay particular attention to a consistent treatment of all fermionic contributions in the low-energy effective theory, including a consistent renormalization-group summation of all leading-logarithmic effects. This latter part of the work is independent of the specific UV model and can generally be applied to a large class of models that do not introduce new light degrees of freedom. A python implementation of our results is provided via a public git repository.

Inverse Seesaw Mechanism and Axion Portal Fermionic Dark Matter

We propose a minimal extension of the Standard Model (SM) that addresses both the smallness of neutrino masses and the dark matter (DM) puzzle via the inverse seesaw mechanism and an axion portal fermionic DM. This model generates light neutrino masses without requiring high energy scales, enhancing its testability in future collider experiments. An axion-like particle (ALP) connects the SM and DM sectors, yielding a distinct phenomenology. Our analysis shows that the model is consistent with constraints from neutrino oscillations and DM relic density as well as satisfying the current measurement on muon $g-2$. This work offers a unified framework to address neutrino masses and DM, with implications for particle physics and cosmology.

Phenomenology of Inverse Seesaw Using $S_3$ Modular Symmetry

Describing neutrino masses using the inverse seesaw mechanism with discrete flavor symmetry imposed through modular forms provides a testable framework at TeV scales with fewer parameters. However, $S_3$, the smallest modular group, remains relatively underexplored. In this work, we construct the minimal supersymmetric inverse seesaw model based on the modular $S_3$ flavor symmetry. In our model, the light neutrino mass matrix depends on 6 real parameters: the complex modulus, an overall scale for light neutrino mass, a real ratio and a complex ratio of Yukawa coupling. Thanks to its minimality, our model offers various definite predictions: the lightest neutrino is massless, the neutrino masses are inverted ordering, the sum of the three light neutrino masses ($\sum_i m_i$) is 100 meV, the effective mass for the end point of the beta decay spectrum is 50 meV, the effective mass for neutrinoless double beta decay ($m_{ee}$) is in the range $38-58$ meV. In particular, the predicted values for $\sum_i m_i$ and $m_{ee}$ from our model are within reach of the next generation experiments. Our model also predicts radiative lepton flavor violating decays $\ell\to\ell'γ$ which are compatible with experimental constraints.

Revisiting the two-zero texture Majorana neutrino mass matrix

It has long been pointed out that there are seven different two-zero texture neutrino mass matrices compatible with neutrino oscillation data. We perform an updated analysis with the recently published Nu-Fit 6.0 results. We also subject the seven two-zero textures to constraints on neutrino mass from cosmology, end point of beta decay spectrum, and neutrinoless double beta decay experiments. We find that all seven textures are compatible with the new oscillation parameters. However, we find five textures, whose 1-1 entry is nonvanishing, are in severe tension with the constraints from cosmology and neutrinoless double beta decay. With the next generation experiments, these five textures could be decisively ruled out. For the remaining two textures, one of them could be ruled out, or severely constrained, if the octant of $θ_{23}$ is determined.

Upper limit on dark matter mass in the inert doublet model

We study the upper limit on dark matter mass in the context of the inert double model. We derive analytic expression for the upper bound as a function of the mass squared differences between dark matter and other new particles. We find that the upper limit varies between 20$-$80 TeV depending on the mass squared splitting.

Neutrino phenomenology in the modular $S_3$ seesaw model

We have studied neutrino phenomenology in the supersymmetric type-I seesaw model endowed with the $Γ_2 \simeq S_3$ modular symmetry. We have identified different realizations of the $S_3$ modular symmetry, referred to as models A, B, C, and D. The 4 models are compatible with neutrino mass being inverted ordering (IO). Moreover, models A, B, and D can also accommodate normal ordering (NO) neutrino masses. We identify parameter space for each model compatible with neutrino oscillation at the 2-$σ$ level. We then proceed to study the neutrino phenomenology of each model. We find that the lightest neutrino mass can be as light as 0.64 meV in the case of NO in model A and 50 meV in the case of IO in model D. The smallest effective electron neutrino mass attainable in our analysis is 8.8 meV in the case of NO (model A), and 50 meV for IO (model D). Finally, we note that the effective Majorana mass can be as small as 0.33 meV in the case of NO (model A) and 22 meV for IO (model D).

Inverse Seesaw and Portal Dark Matter

We study the phenomenology of the inverse seesaw mechanism in the scalar-Higgs portal dark matter model. The model is an extension of the Standard Model including two additional neutrinos, a singlet scalar and a fermionic dark matter. We consider the inverse seesaw mechanism where the mass of 2 additional neutrinos are made dynamic by the singlet scalar. We found that the natural scale for the scalar vacuum expectation value is naturally close to the weak scale. Motivating by this fact, we focus on the possibility of the singlet scalar connecting with dark matter, i.e., the scalar is also the mediator between dark sector and the Standard Model. We perform a numerical analysis over the parameter space subject to the indirect and direct detection constraints. The feasible region of the parameter space will be discussed.

Dark Matter-Neutrino Interaction in Light of Collider and Neutrino Telescope Data

We study the DM-neutrino interaction in the framework of simplified model. The phenomenology of such an interaction are derived. We also investigate the bound on DM-neutrino interaction from the LHC and neutrino telescopes. We find that for the case of a scalar dark matter, the LHC gives a stronger bound on dark matter annihilation cross-section than the neutrino telescopes. However, for the fermionic dark matter case the neutrino telescopes bounds are more stringent for dark matter mass, $\gtrsim 200$ MeV. In the case of lower DM mass, the neutrino telescopes provide better bounds for a light mediator, while the collider bounds are better for a heavy mediator. Possible UV completions of the simplified model are briefly discussed.

Probing Lepton Flavor Violation at the 13 TeV LHC

We investigate the bounds on tau-mu lepton flavor violation (LFV). Our main focus is on the collider constrains on tau-mu LFV. We use the Type-III Two-Higgs-Doublet-Model (2HDM) as a set up for our study. While the LFV branching fraction of the 125 GeV is well constrained by current LHC searches, the heavier neutral states could have a large branching fraction to tau and muon. We estimate the LHC reach for the 13 TeV center of mass energy with 300 $\text{fb}^{-1}$ luminosity for a neutral boson decaying into a tau and a muon. We identify parts of the LFV parameter space where the searches for heavy scalar and pseudoscalar decaying into a tau and a muon are more sensitive than the similar search for the 125 GeV boson.

One-Loop Corrections to the Perturbative Unitarity Bounds in the $CP$-Conserving Two-Higgs Doublet Model with a Softly Broken $\mathbb{Z}_2$ Symmetry

We compute all of the one-loop corrections that are enhanced, $O(λ_i λ_j / 16 π^2)$, in the limit $s \gg |λ_i | v^2 \gg M_{W}^2$, $s \gg m_{12}^2$ to all the $2 \to 2$ longitudinal vector boson and Higgs boson scattering amplitudes in the $CP$-conserving two-Higgs doublet model with a softly broken $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry. In the two simplified scenarios we study, the typical bound we find is $|λ_i(s)| \lessapprox 4$.

Nonstandard Yukawa Couplings and Higgs Portal Dark Matter

We study the implications of non-standard Higgs Yukawa couplings to light quarks on Higgs-portal dark matter phenomenology. Saturating the present experimental bounds on up-quark, down-quark, or strange-quark Yukawa couplings, the predicted direct dark matter detection scattering rate can increase by up to four orders of magnitude. The effect on the dark matter annihilation cross section, on the other hand, is subleading unless the dark matter is very light -- a scenario that is already excluded by measurements of the Higgs invisible decay width. We investigate the expected size of corrections in multi-Higgs-doublet models with natural flavor conservation, the type-II two-Higgs-doublet model, the Giudice-Lebedev model of light quark masses, minimal flavor violation new physics models, Randall-Sundrum, and composite Higgs models. We find that an enhancement in the dark matter scattering rate of an order of magnitude is possible. Finally, we point out that a discovery of Higgs-portal dark matter could lead to interesting bounds on the light-quark Yukawa couplings.

Probing anomalous $t\bar t Z$ interactions with rare meson decays

Anomalous couplings of the $Z$ boson to top quarks are only marginally constrained by direct searches and are still sensitive to new particle dynamics at the TeV scale. Employing an effective field theory approach we consider the dimension-six operators which generate deviations from the standard-model vector and axial-vector interactions. We show that rare $B$ and $K$ meson decays together with electroweak precision observables provide strong constraints on these couplings. We also consider constraints from t-channel single-top production.

Inflation from Minkowski Space

We propose a class of scalar models that, once coupled to gravity, lead to cosmologies that smoothly and stably connect an inflationary quasi-de Sitter universe to a low, or even zero-curvature, maximally symmetric spacetime in the asymptotic past, strongly violating the null energy condition ($\dot H\gg H^2$) at intermediate times. The models are deformations of the conformal galileon lagrangian and are therefore based on symmetries, both exact and approximate, that ensure the quantum robustness of the whole picture. The resulting cosmological backgrounds can be viewed as regularized extensions of the galilean genesis scenario, or, equivalently, as `early-time-complete' realizations of inflation. The late-time inflationary dynamics possesses phenomenologically interesting properties: it can produce a large tensor-to-scalar ratio within the regime of validity of the effective field theory and can lead to sizeable equilateral nongaussianities.

Theoretical Constraints on Additional Higgs Bosons in Light of the 126 GeV Higgs

We present a sum rule for Higgs fields in general representations under $SU(2)_L \times U(1)_Y$ that follows from the connection between the Higgs couplings and the mechanism that gives the electroweak bosons their masses, and at the same time restricts these couplings. Sum rules that follow from perturbative unitarity will require us to include singly and doubly charged Higgses in our analysis. We examine the consequences of these sum rules for Higgs phenomenology in both model independent and model specific ways. The relation between our sum rules and other works, based on dispersion relations, is also clarified.

$B$ decays to two pseudoscalars and a generalized $ΔI = \frac{1}{2}$ rule

We perform an isospin analysis of $B$ decays to two pseudoscalars. The analysis extracts appropriate CKM and short distance loop factors to allow for comparison of non-perturbative QCD effects in the reduced matrix elements of the amplitudes. In decays where penguin diagrams compete with tree-level diagrams we find that the reduced matrix elements of the penguin diagrams, which are singlets or doublets under isospin, are significantly enhanced compared with the triplet and fourplet contributions of the weak Hamiltonian. This similarity to the $ΔI =\frac{1}{2}$ rule in $K \to ππ$ decays suggests that, more generally, processes mediated by Hamiltonians in lower-dimensional isospin representations see enhancement over higher-dimensional ones in QCD.

Carving Out Parameter Space in Type-II Two Higgs Doublets Model

We analyze the Type-II two Higgs doublets model in light of the newly discovered Higgs-like particle with mass 125 GeV. The observed 125 GeV particle is identified with the light CP-even Higgs boson in the two Higgs doublets model. We study the parameter space of the model consistent with the Higgs data, branching ratio of $\bar{B}\to X_sγ$ as well as precision electroweak measurements. We also incorporate theoretical constraints--- perturbativity of the couplings and vacuum stability, in our study. We find that only a small parameter space of the model remains viable. The phenomenology of the heavy Higgs bosons in the surviving parameter space is studied.
