Abstract

In this work, we propose minimal realizations for generating Dirac neutrino masses in the context of a right-handed abelian gauge extension of the Standard Model. Utilizing only U(1)_R symmetry, we address and analyze the possibilities of Dirac neutrino mass generation via (a) tree-level seesaw and (b) radiative correction at the one-loop level. One of the presented radiative models implements the attractive scotogenic model that links neutrino mass with Dark Matter (DM), where the stability of the DM is guaranteed from a residual discrete symmetry emerging from U(1)_R. Since only the right-handed fermions carry non-zero charges under the U(1)_R, this framework leads to sizable and distinctive Left–Right asymmetry as well as Forward–Backward asymmetry discriminating from U(1)_{B-L} models and can be tested at the colliders. We analyze the current experimental bounds and present the discovery reach limits for the new heavy gauge boson Z^{prime } at the LHC and ILC. Furthermore, we also study the associated charged lepton flavor violating processes, dark matter phenomenology and cosmological constraints of these models.

Highlights

  • The originality of this work is, by employing only the gauged U (1)R symmetry, we construct Dirac neutrino masses at the tree-level and one-loop level which has not been done before and, by a detailed study of the phenomenology associated to the new heavy gauge boson, we show that U (1)R model is very promising to be discovered in the future colliders

  • In this work, we have explored the possibility of one of the most minimal gauge extensions of the SM which is U (1)R that is responsible for generating Dirac neutrino mass and may stabilize the Dark Matter (DM) particle

  • We have shown that a heavy Z (emerging from U (1)R), even if its mass is substantially higher than the center of mass energy available at the ILC, would manifest itself at tree-level by its propagator effects producing sizable contributions to the LR asymmetry or FB asymmetry

Summary

Framework

Our framework is a very simple extension of the SM: an abelian gauge extension under which only the right-handed fermions are charged. Such a charge assignment is anomalous, all the gauge anomalies can be canceled by the minimal extension of the SM with just three right-handed neutrinos Within this framework the minimal choice to generate the charged fermion masses is to utilize the already existing SM Higgs doublet, the associated Yukawa couplings have the form: Page 3 of 21 916. H (1, Since EW symmetry needs to break down around the O(100) GeV scale, one can compute the masses of the gauge bosons from the covariant derivatives associated with the SM Higgs H and the SM singlet scalar χ : Dμ H = ∂μ − igWμ − ig YH Bμ − igR RH Xμ H, (2.5).
