Investigation of Weisskopf-Ewing approximation for the determination of ( n,p ) cross sections using the surrogate reaction technique

The present study explores the limitations of the surrogate reaction method for determining the $(n,p)$ cross sections for the target nuclei in the mass region $A\ensuremath{\approx}50$ for the neutron energies 1--20 MeV. In the past few years there have been several experimental attempts for determining the $(n,p)$ and $(n,xp)$ cross sections using the surrogate reaction method. But this method has not been benchmarked with the experimentally well-known $(n,p)$ cross sections. The surrogate reaction method with Weisskopf-Ewing approximation may help in providing good constraints for the cross-section data, but this approximation has not been validated yet for $(n,p)$ reactions. In this paper, we have examined the validity of the Weisskopf-Ewing approximation for the $(n,p)$ reactions and also check the sensitivity of the surrogate reaction results with respect to the compound nucleus spin distribution. We have simulated the cross sections obtained through the surrogate reaction method for $n+^{48}\mathrm{Ti}, n+^{53}\mathrm{Cr}, n+^{56}\mathrm{Fe}$, and $n+^{59}\mathrm{Co}$ reactions for the different schematic spin distributions of the compound nucleus and studied the effect of assuming the validity of the Weisskopf-Ewing approximation. It has been observed that the proton decay probabilities of the compound nucleus for the $(n,p)$ channel are strongly spin dependent, therefore the Weisskopf-Ewing approximation is violated. We have also observed that the cross sections obtained using the Weisskopf-Ewing approximation show clear dependence on the spin distribution of the compound nucleus. It has also been observed that, due to the large pre-equilibrium contributions in the $(n,p)$ reactions at higher neutron energies, the use of the surrogate reaction method for the neutron energies greater than $\ensuremath{\approx}15$ MeV may not be suitable. It is concluded that the surrogate reaction method relying solely on the Weisskopf-Ewing approximation is not sufficient for determining the $(n,p)$ cross sections for the target nuclei in mass range $A\ensuremath{\approx}50$ and further development and exploration of the surrogate technique is required.

Sterile neutrinos in Λb0→(Λc+,p+)ℓ1−ℓ2−ℓ3+ν decays

We study lepton number violating and lepton number conserving semi-leptonic decays of heavy baryons $\Lambda_b^0$ to three charged leptons and a neutrino. The decays occur through two intermediate quasi-degenerate GeV-scale sterile neutrinos of either Majorana or Dirac type that can be on-shell. Interference between the intermediate heavy neutrinos leads to CP violation in the final states. Effect of neutrino oscillations between the heavy states are also considered in observables of interests, \emph{i.e.,} branching ratio, and the CP-asymmetry. Given the present constraints on the heavy-to-light mixing elements $|V_{eN}|$ and $|V_{\mu N}|$, CP-averaged branching ratio of $\Lambda_b^0\to (\Lambda_c,p)\mu\mu e\nu$ with intermediate Majorana neutrinos is almost two orders of magnitude larger than for the same with Dirac neutrinos, whereas, CP-averaged branching ratio of $\Lambda_b^0\to (\Lambda_c,p)ee\mu\nu$ is of the same order of magnitude for both Majorana and Dirac neutrino induced decays. CP-violation is found to be appreciable when the neutrino mass difference is comparable with the average decay widths.

Moderately suppressed dimension-five proton decay in a flipped SU(5) model

We study colored Higgsino-mediated proton decay (dimension-five proton decay) in a model based on the flipped SU(5) GUT. In the model, the GUT-breaking 10, overline{mathbf{10}} fields have a GUT-scale mass term and gain VEVs through higher-dimensional operators, which induces an effective mass term between the color triplets in the 5, overline{mathbf{5}} Higgs fields that is not much smaller than the GUT scale. This model structure gives rise to observable dimension-five proton decay, and at the same time achieves moderate suppression on dimension-five proton decay that softens the tension with the current bound on Γ(p → K+ overline{nu} ). We investigate the flavor dependence of the Wilson coefficients of the operators relevant to dimension-five proton decay, by relating them with diagonalized Yukawa couplings and CKM matrix components in MSSM, utilizing the fact that the GUT Yukawa couplings are in one-to-one correspondence with the MSSM Yukawa couplings in flipped models. Then we numerically evaluate the Wilson coefficients, and predict the distributions of the ratios of the partial widths of various proton decay modes.

Xenon doping of liquid argon in ProtoDUNE single phase

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) will be the next generation long-baseline neutrino experiment. The far detector is designed as a complex of four LAr-TPC (Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber) modules with 17 kt of liquid argon each. The development and validation of the first far detector technology is pursued through ProtoDUNE Single Phase (ProtoDUNE-SP), a 770 t LAr-TPC at CERN Neutrino Platform. Crucial in DUNE is the photon detection system that will ensure the trigger of non-beam events — proton decay, supernova neutrino burst and BSM searches — and will improve the timing and calorimetry for neutrino beam events. Doping liquid argon with xenon is a known technique to shift the light emitted by argon (128 nm) to a longer wavelength (178 nm) to ease its detection. The largest xenon doping test ever performed in a LAr-TPC was carried out in ProtoDUNE-SP. From February to May 2020, a gradually increasing amount of xenon was injected to also compensate for the light loss due to air contamination. The response of such a large TPC has been studied using the ProtoDUNE-SP Photon Detection System (PDS) and a dedicated setup installed before the run. With the first it was possible to study the light collection efficiency with respect to the track position, while with the second it was possible to distinguish the xenon light (178 nm) from the LAr light (128 nm). The light shifting mechanism proved to be highly efficient even at small xenon concentrations (<20 ppm in mass) furthermore it allowed recovering the light quenched by pollutants. The light collection improved far from the detection plane, enhancing the photon detector response uniformity along the drift direction and confirming a longer Rayleigh scattering length for 178 nm photons, with respect to 128 nm ones. The charge collection by the TPC was monitored proving that xenon up to 20 ppm does not impact its performance.

The DUNE vertical drift photon detection system

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a long-baseline neutrino experiment designed to mainly investigate oscillation parameters, supernova physics and proton decay. Its far detector will be composed of four liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) underground modules, in South Dakota-USA, which will detect a neutrino beam produced at Fermilab, 1300 km away, where a near detector will be in place. The second DUNE far detector module, vertical drift, will be a single phase LArTPC with electron drift along the vertical axis with two volumes of 13.5 m × 6.5 m × 60 m dimensions separated by a cathode plane. The charge collection will be performed by two anode planes placed at the top and bottom of the module, each composed by stacked layers of a perforated PCB technology with electrode strips. The photon detection system (PDS) will make use of large size X-Arapuca tiles distributed over three detection planes. One plane will consist of a horizontal arrangement of double sided tiles installed on the high voltage cathode plane and two vertical planes, each placed on the longest cryostat membrane walls. A light active coverage of 14.8% over the cathode and 7.4% over the laterals should allow improvements in the low energy physics range that can be probed in DUNE, especially regarding supernova neutrinos (∼10 MeV). We present the initial characterization of the vertical drift PDS using a Monte Carlo simulation and preliminary studies on its reconstruction capabilities at the MeV scale. The information obtained with the PDS alone should allow determination of a neutrino interaction region with a precision of at least 65 cm for events with deposited energy above 5 MeV and the deposited energy can be reconstructed with precision better than 10%, both at the center of the volume.

Sizable time-reversal violating effects in bottom baryon decays

We study time-reversal (T) asymmetries in the charmless two-body decays of antitriplet bottom baryons. We find that in Bb → BnP with Bb = ( {Xi}_b^{-} , {Xi}_b^0 , Λb) and Bn(P) a octet baryon (pseudoscalar meson), the positive and negative helicity amplitudes are both sizable, resulting in the large T-violating effects. Particularly, the T-odd parameters, βw, for the color-enhanced channels are expected to be around −40% and 25% in b → s and b → d transitions for the standard model, which can be measured by the experiments at LHCb, respectively. On the other hand, in Bb → BnV(γ) with V(γ) a vector meson (photon), the decays are predominated by a single helicity amplitude, and the T violating effects by the correlations among spins are suppressed. We also explore the T violating observables for the Ξb decays based on the angular distributions.

Revisiting semileptonic B−→pp¯ℓ−ν¯ℓ decays

We systematically revisit the baryonic four-body semileptonic decays of $B^- \to {\bf B}\bar{\bf B}'\ell^- \bar{\nu}_{\ell}$ by the perturbative QCD counting rules with ${\bf B}$ representing octet baryons and $\ell=e,\mu$. We study the transition form factors of $B^- \to {\bf B} \bar{\bf B}'$ in the limit of $(p_{\bf B}+p_{\bar{\bf B}'})^2 \to \infty $ with the three-body $\bar{B}\to {\bf B}\bar{\bf B}' M$ and $B^- \to p\bar{p} \mu^- \bar{\nu}_{\mu}$ data along with $SU(3)_f$ flavor symmetry. We calculate the decay branching ratios and angular asymmetries as well as the differential decay branching fractions of $B^- \to p \bar{p} \ell^- \bar{\nu}_{\ell}$. In particular, we find that our new result of ${\cal B}( B^- \to p \bar{p} \ell^- \bar{\nu}_{\ell})=(5.21\pm0.34)\times 10^{-6}$, which is about one order of magnitude lower than the previous theoretical prediction of $(10.4\pm2.9)\times 10^{-5}$, agrees well with both experimental measurements of $(5.8^{+2.6}_{-2.3})\times 10^{-6}$ and $(5.3\pm0.4)\times 10^{-6}$ by the Belle and LHCb Collaborations, respectively. We also evaluate the branching ratios and angular asymmetries in other channels of $B^- \to {\bf B}\bar{\bf B}\ell^- \bar{\nu}_{\ell}$, which can be tested by the ongoing experiments at LHCb and BelleII.

DUNE Physics Program and Status

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a next-generation long-baseline neutrino experiment with a 70-kt liquid argon detector at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) 1300 km from Fermilab. This programme includes studies of neutrino oscillations with a high-intensity muon-neutrino beam from Fermilab; as well as, proton decay and supernova neutrino burst searches. DUNE will resolve the neutrino mass hierarchy to a precision of 5σ, for all δCP values, after 2 years of running with the nominal detector design and beam configuration. It has the potential to observe charge-parity violation in the neutrino sector to a precision of 3σ (5σ) after an exposure of 5 (10) years, for 50% of all δCP values. The status and schedule of the project is also presented.

Flipped SU(5) GUT phenomenology: proton decay and mathbf {g_mu - 2}

We consider proton decay and g_mu - 2 in flipped SU(5) GUT models. We first study scenarios in which the soft supersymmetry-breaking parameters are constrained to be universal at some high scale M_{in} above the standard GUT scale where the QCD and electroweak SU(2) couplings unify. In this case the proton lifetime is typically > rsim 10^{36} years, too long to be detected in the foreseeable future, and the supersymmetric contribution to g_mu - 2 is too small to contribute significantly to resolving the discrepancy between the experimental measurement and data-driven calculations within the Standard Model. However, we identify a region of the constrained flipped SU(5) parameter space with large couplings between the 10- and 5-dimensional GUT Higgs representations where p rightarrow e^+ pi ^0 decay may be detectable in the Hyper-Kamiokande experiment now under construction, though the contribution to g_mu -2 is still small. A substantial contribution to g_mu - 2 is possible, however, if the universality constraints on the soft supersymmetry-breaking masses are relaxed. We find a ‘quadrifecta’ region where observable proton decay co-exists with a (partial) supersymmetric resolution of the g_mu - 2 discrepancy and acceptable values of m_h and the relic LSP density.

Gluino-SUGRA scenarios in light of FNAL muon g \u2013 2 anomaly

Gluino-SUGRA ( overset{sim }{g} SUGRA), which is an economical extension of the predictive mSUGRA, adopts much heavier gluino mass parameter than other gauginos mass parameters and universal scalar mass parameter at the unification scale. It can elegantly reconcile the experimental results on the Higgs boson mass, the muon g − 2, the null results in search for supersymmetry at the LHC and the results from B-physics. In this work, we propose several new ways to generate large gaugino hierarchy (i.e. M3 » M1, M2) for overset{sim }{g} SUGRA model building and then discuss in detail the implications of the new muon g − 2 results with the updated LHC constraints on such overset{sim }{g} SUGRA scenarios. We obtain the following observations: (i) for the most interesting M1 = M2 case at the GUT scale with a viable bino-like dark matter, the overset{sim }{g} SUGRA can explain the muon g − 2 anomaly at 1σ level and be consistent with the updated LHC constraints for 6 ≤ M3/M1 ≤ 9 at the GUT scale; (ii) For M1 : M2 = 5 : 1 at the GUT scale with wino-like dark matter, the overset{sim }{g} SUGRA model can explain the muon g − 2 anomaly at 2σ level and be consistent with the updated LHC constraints for 3 ≤ M3/M1 ≤ 3.2 at the GUT scale; (iii) For M1 : M2 = 3 : 2 at the GUT scale with mixed bino-wino dark matter, the overset{sim }{g} SUGRA model can explain the muon g − 2 anomaly at 1σ level and be consistent with the updated LHC constraints for 6.9 ≤ M3/M1 ≤ 7.5 at the GUT scale. Although the choice of heavy gluino will always increase the FT involved, some of the 1σ/2σ survived points of Delta {a}_{mu}^{mathrm{combine}} can still allow low EWFT of order several hundreds and be fairly natural. Constraints from (dimension-five operator induced) proton decay are also discussed.

Astroparticle physics in DUNE with the X-ARAPUCA detectors

DUNE is a long-baseline accelerator experiment in construction at Fermilab and SURF (South Dakota). The scientific program encompasses the investigation of long-baseline neutrino oscillation, with a focus on the study of the CP violation and neutrino mass hierarchy, along with high sensitivity searches for rare events, such as the observation of supernova neutrino bursts and the search for proton decay. The DUNE far detector consists of four liquid Argon TPCs located deep underground, paired with a Photon Detection System. In the present article we will discuss the role of the PDS in the search of the aforementioned rare events and the latest results in terms of technological achievements obtained by the PDS Consortium.

Solving the Puzzles of the Decay of the Heaviest Known Proton-Emitting Nucleus ^{185}Bi.

Two long-standing puzzles in the decay of ^{185}Bi, the heaviest known proton-emitting nucleus are revisited. These are the nonobservation of the 9/2^{-} state, which is the ground state of all heavier odd-A Bi isotopes, and the hindered nature of proton and α decays of its presumed 60-μs 1/2^{+} ground state. The ^{185}Bi nucleus has now been studied with the ^{95}Mo(^{93}Nb,3n) reaction in complementary experiments using the Fragment Mass Analyzer and Argonne Gas-Filled Analyzer at Argonne National Laboratory's ATLAS facility. The experiments have established the existence of two states in ^{185}Bi; the short-lived T_{1/2}=2.8_{-1.0}^{+2.3} μs, proton- and α-decaying ground state, and a 58(2)-μs γ-decaying isomer, the half-life of which was previously attributed to the ground state. The reassignment of the ground-state lifetime results in a proton-decay spectroscopic factor close to unity and represents the only known example of a ground-state proton decay to a daughter nucleus (^{184}Pb) with a major shell closure. The data also demonstrate that the ordering of low- and high-spin states in ^{185}Bi is reversed relative to the heavier odd-A Bi isotopes, with the intruder-based 1/2^{+} configuration becoming the ground, similar to the lightest At nuclides.

Proton radioactivity and α-decay of neutron-deficient nuclei

Proton radioactivity and α-decay half-lives of neutron-deficient nuclei have been systematically studied. The proton-nucleus interaction potential is developed by single folding the density distribution of the daughter nuclei with the effective M3Y-Paris nucleon-nucleon (NN) interaction. The penetrability is calculated with the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin approximation. The applicability of the universal decay law on the proton decay half-lives has been examined and a new set of parameters has been identified. The competition between α-decay and proton radioactivity of neutron-deficient nuclei has been investigated. The proton radioactivity is found to be the dominant mode of decay for nuclides located very close to the proton drip-line. The effect of using different microscopic proton and neutron density distributions on the half-lives for these two decay modes is studied. It is found that the calculated half-lives with the microscopic densities that obtained from the self-consistent Hartree–Fock-Bogoliubov method successfully reproduce the experimental data. The impact of nuclear deformation on the half-lives is investigated for these two decay modes. The influence of nonlocality through the finite-range exchange part of the NN interaction on the α-decay process is elucidated. Our theoretical calculations have been confirmed experimentally and satisfactory agreement has been achieved.

SU(3) symmetry and its breaking effects in semileptonic heavy baryon decays

We employ the flavor SU(3) symmetry to analyze semileptonic decays of anti-triplet charmed baryons (Λc+,Ξc+,0) and find that the experimental data on B(Λc→Λℓ+νℓ) implies B(Ξc0→Ξ−e+νe)=(4.10±0.46)% and B(Ξc0→Ξ−μ+νμ)=(3.98±0.57)%. When this prediction is confronted with recent experimental results from Belle collaboration B(Ξc0→Ξ−e+νe)=(1.31±0.04±0.07±0.38)% and B(Ξc0→Ξ−μ+νμ)=(1.27±0.06±0.10±0.37)%, it is found that the SU(3) symmetry is severely broken. We then consider the generic SU(3) breaking effects both in decay amplitudes and the mixing effect between the anti-triplet and sextet charmed baryons. We find that the pertinent data can be accommodated in different scenarios but the breaking effects are inevitably large. In some interesting scenarios, we also explore the testable implications in these scenarios which can be stringently tested with more data become available. Similar analyses are carried out for the semileptonic decays of anti-triplet beauty baryons to octet baryons and anti-triplet charmed baryons. The validity of SU(3) for these decays can also be examined when data become available.

Pseudo-Goldstone dark matter in SO(10)

We propose a pseudo-Goldstone boson dark matter (pGDM) particle in $SO(10)$ grand unified theory (GUT). Due to its Goldstone nature, this pGDM evades the direct DM detection experiments which, otherwise, severely constrain the parameter space of DM models. In $SO(10)$, the pGDM is embedded as a linear combination of the Standard Model (SM) singlet scalars in ${\bf 16_H}$ and ${\bf 126_H}$ representations. We consider two scenarios for the intermediate route of $SO(10)$ symmetry breaking (SB) to the SM: $SU(5) \times U(1)_X$ and Pati-Salam the $SU(4)_c \times SU(2)_L \times SU(2)_R$ (4-2-2) gauge groups. The vacuum expectation value of ${\bf 126_H}$, which triggers the breaking of $U(1)_X$ and 4-2-2 symmetry in the two scenarios, respectively, determines the pGDM lifetime whose astrophysical lower bound provides one of the most stringent constraints. For the 4-2-2 route to $SO(10)$, the successful SM gauge coupling unification requires the 4-2-2 breaking scale to be ${\cal O} (10^{11})$ GeV, and most of the parameter space is excluded. For the $SU(5) \times U(1)_X$ route, on the other hand, the $U(1)_X$ breaking scale can be significantly higher, and a wide range of the parameter space is allowed. Furthermore, the proton lifetime in the $SU(5)$ case is predicted to be $4.53 \times 10^{34}$ years, which lies well within the sensitivity reach of the Hyper-Kamiokande experiment. We also examine the constraints on the model parameter space from the Large Hadron Collider and the indirect DM search by Fermi-LAT and MAGIC experiments.

R-parity violation axiogenesis

We show that the rotation of the QCD axion field, aided by B−L violation from supersymmetric R-parity violating couplings, can yield the observed baryon abundance. Strong sphaleron processes transfer the angular momentum of the axion field into a quark chiral asymmetry, which R-parity violating couplings convert to the baryon asymmetry of the Universe. We focus on the case of dimensionless R-parity violating couplings with textures motivated by grand unified theories and comment on more general scenarios. The axion decay constant and mass spectrum of supersymmetric particles are constrained by Big Bang nucleosynthesis, proton decay from the R-parity violation, and successful thermalization of the Peccei-Quinn symmetry breaking field. Axion dark matter may be produced by the axion rotation via the kinetic misalignment mechanism for axion decay constants below 1010 GeV, or by the conventional misalignment mechanism for 1011-12 GeV. The viable parameter region can be probed by proton decay and axion searches. This scenario may also have connections with collider experiments, including searches for long-lived particles, and observations of gravitational waves.

Semi-leptonic three-body proton decay modes from light-cone sum rules

Using light-cone sum rule techniques, we estimate the form factors which parametrise the hadronic matrix elements that are relevant for semi-leptonic three-body proton decays. The obtained form factors allow us to determine the differential rate for the decay of a proton (p) into a positron (e+), a neutral pion (π0) and a graviton (G), which is the leading proton decay channel in the effective theory of gravitons and Standard Model particles (GRSMEFT). The sensitivity of existing and next-generation neutrino experiments in detecting the p → e+π0G signature is studied and the phenomenological implications of our computations for constraints on the effective mass scale that suppresses the relevant baryon-number violating GRSMEFT operator are discussed.

Sneutrino tribrid inflation, metastable cosmic strings and gravitational waves

We present a successful realization of sneutrino tribrid inflation model based on a gauged U(1)_B-L extension of Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM). A single interaction term involving the B-L Higgs field and the right-handed neutrinos serves multiple purposes. These include the generation of heavy Majorana masses for the right-handed neutrinos to provide an explanation for the tiny neutrino masses via the seesaw mechanism, a realistic scenario for reheating and non-thermal leptogenesis with a reheat temperature as low as 106 GeV, and a successful realization of inflation with right-handed sneutrino as the inflaton. The matter parity which helps avoid rapid proton decay survives as a Z2 subgroup of a U(1) R-symmetry. Depending on the choice of model parameters yields the following predicted range of the tensor to scalar ratio, 3 × 10-11≲ r≲ 7× 10-4 (6 × 10-7≲ r ≲ 0.01), and the running of the scalar spectral index, -0.00022 ≲ dn_s/dln k ≲ -0.0026 (-0.00014 ≲ dn_s/dln k ≲ 0.005), along with the B-L breaking scale, 3 × 1014≲ M/ GeV≲ 5 × 1015 (6 × 1015≲ M/ GeV≲ 2 × 1016), calculated at the central value of the scalar spectral index, n_s =0.966, reported by Planck 2018. The possibility of realizing metastable cosmic strings in a grand unified theory setup is briefly discussed. The metastable cosmic string network admits string tension values in the range 10-8≲ Gμs ≲ 10-6, and predicts a stochastic gravitational wave background lying within the 2-σ bounds of the recent NANOGrav 12.5-yr data.

Leptogenesis, fermion masses and mixings in a SUSY SU(5) GUT with D4 flavor symmetry

We propose a model of fermion masses and mixings based on SU(5) grand unified theory (GUT) and a D4 flavor symmetry. This is a highly predictive 4D SU(5) GUT with a flavor symmetry that does not contain a triplet irreducible representation. The Yukawa matrices of quarks and charged leptons are obtained after integrating out heavy messenger fields from renormalizable superpotentials while neutrino masses are originated from the type I seesaw mechanism. The group theoretical factors from 24- and 45-dimensional Higgs fields lead to ratios between the Yukawa couplings in agreement with data, while the dangerous proton decay operators are highly suppressed. By performing a numerical fit, we find that the model captures accurately the mixing angles, the Yukawa couplings and the CP phase of the quark sector at the GUT scale. The neutrino masses are generated at the leading order with the prediction of trimaximal mixing while an additional effective operator is required to account for the baryon asymmetry of the universe (BAU). The model is remarkably predictive because only the normal neutrino mass ordering and the lower octant of the atmospheric angle are allowed while the CP conserving values of the Dirac neutrino phase δCP are excluded. Moreover, the predicted values of the effective Majorana mass mββ can be tested at future neutrinoless double beta decay experiments. An analytical and a numerical study of the BAU via the leptogenesis mechanism is performed. We focused on the regions of parameter space where leptogenesis from the lightest right-handed neutrino is successfully realized. Strong correlations between the parameters of the neutrino sector and the observed BAU are obtained.

Universal scalar leptoquark action for matching

In this study we present a universal effective action for one-loop matching of all scalar leptoquarks. We use both the Universal One-Loop Effective Action (UOLEA) and covariant diagrams to evaluate the Wilson coefficients directly in the Green basis for up to dimension-6 operators. On the technical side, we use the newly developed method of evaluating supertraces, to further validate the results stemming from the use of covariant diagrams. As an application, we perform a fully functional matching onto Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) of a model with two scalar leptoquark fields: a weak isospin singlet and a doublet. We demonstrate its use by calculating several observables, such as lepton magnetic and electric dipole moments, neutrino masses, proton decay rate, while we comment upon fine tuning issues in this model. Apart from its phenomenological interest, this model generates the majority of dimension-6 operators and provides an EFT benchmark towards future matching automation.
