Unveiling neutrino phenomenology, $(g-2)_{e,μ}$ and leptogenesis through U(1) gauge symmetries in an inverse seesaw model

Abstract

The proposed work is an extension of the Standard Model, where we have introduced two gauge symmetries, i.e., $U(1)_{B-L}$ and $U(1)_{L_e-L_μ}$ to study neutrino phenomenology, muon, and electron $(g-2)$ as well as leptogenesis using the inverse seesaw mechanism. For this purpose, we have included three right-handed neutrinos $N_{R_i}$, three neutral fermions $S_{L_i} (i =1,2,3)$ and two scalar singlet bosons ($χ_1$ and $χ_2$). We get a definite structure for the neutrino mass matrix due to the aforementioned gauge symmetries. Thus, our model is able to predict the neutrino oscillation results, which are in accordance with the experimental data and is inclined towards normal ordering. The outcomes comprise the active neutrino masses, mixing angles, mass squared differences, CP-violating phase, etc. Moreover, since the extended gauge symmetries are local, there are corresponding gauge bosons, denoted as $Z_{B-L}$ and $Z_{e μ}$. Of these, mass of $Z_{B-L}$ is $\mathcal{O}$(TeV) range to satisfy the collider constraint, while the mass of $Z_{e μ}$ is in the MeV range, making it feasible to account for current electron and muon $(g-2)$ results via neutral current interactions. Furthermore, our model is able to account for leptogenesis, which can demonstrate the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the universe. Additionally, we have carried out the prospect of probing our model in the context of upcoming long baseline experiments: DUNE, T2HK, and T2HKK, at a confidence level of $5σ$. From the result it is clear that, our model can be tested in its $3σ$ C.L. with $5σ$ allowed region of DUNE, T2HK and T2HKK.

Stochastic Ultralight Dark Matter Fluctuations in Pulsar Timing Arrays

Metric perturbations induced by ultralight dark matter (ULDM) fields have long been identified as a potential target for pulsar timing array (PTA) observations. Previous works have focused on the coherent oscillation of metric perturbations at the characteristic frequency set by the ULDM mass. In this work, we show that ULDM fields source low-frequency stochastic metric fluctuations and that these low-frequency fluctuations can produce distinctive detectable signals in PTA data. Using the NANOGrav 12.5-year data set and synthetic data sets mimicking present and future PTA capabilities, we show that the current and future PTA observations provide the strongest probe of ULDM density within the solar system for masses in the range of $10^{-18}\;{\rm eV}-10^{-16}\;{\rm eV}$.

On the Origin of QCD Collectivity in High-Multiplicity Jets: A Transport Model Study

The CMS Collaboration has observed an enhancement of elliptic azimuthal anisotropy ($v^{\ast}_2$) in high-multiplicity jets. To investigate its microscopic origin, we employ a hybrid transport model that couples jets generated with \textsc{PYTHIA~8} to partonic and hadronic rescattering. The analysis is performed in the jet frame, where the jet momentum defines the longitudinal axis. We characterize the initial-state geometry using the eccentricity vectors of shower partons and quantify the geometric response by correlating them with the final-state flow vectors of hadrons. By systematically varying the partonic and hadronic interactions, we find that the anisotropy enhancement is dominated by hadronic rescattering in the present model and increases with the initial eccentricity. We further classify jets using the Soft Drop variable $z_gθ_g^β$ and show that this momentum-space substructure variable is sensitive to the initial coordinate-space geometry, although the predicted substructure dependence differs from the current CMS measurement. These results support a geometry--response mechanism for collective behavior inside jets and establish jet substructure as a promising experimental handle on the initial geometry. They also motivate models that treat parton branching and transport interactions concurrently.

Comprehensive effective field theory framework for coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering

Coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CE$ν$NS) stands out as a pivotal process for precision tests of the Standard Model electroweak sector, investigations of neutrino properties, and searches for new physics. Recent experimental measurements by COHERENT, CONUS+, and ton-scale xenon detectors--including PandaX-4T and XENONnT--underscore the need for a systematic theoretical framework to bridge high-energy physics scenarios with low-energy observational data. In this work, we develop a comprehensive end-to-end effective field theory (EFT) framework for CE$ν$NS, encompassing the complete energy scale hierarchy spanning the ultraviolet regime down to the nuclear sector. We consider the low-energy EFT (LEFT) operators up to dimension 8, incorporating their QCD renormalization group running effects, and employ the systematic spurion method to achieve matching between these operators and the chiral Lagrangian. A full power counting analysis is performed, extending to nuclear response functions, which evaluates contributions from LEFT operators up to dimension 8 while accounting for the nucleon number enhancement effect intrinsic to CE$ν$NS. Moreover, we match the relevant LEFT operators for CE$ν$NS onto operators up to dimension 8 within the Standard Model EFT. By also providing their complete tree-level ultraviolet completions, this procedure establishes a consistent top-down theoretical workflow. Leveraging a broad suite of CE$ν$NS experimental data, this framework enables a combined analysis to extract constraints on the scales of EFT operators and neutrino non-standard interaction parameters.
