The present and future status of heavy neutral leptons

Alexey Boyarsky, Oleg Ruchayskiy, Lesya Shchutska, Marco Drewes, Jean-Loup Tastet, Inar Timiryasov, Juraj Klaric

The existence of nonzero neutrino masses points to the likely existence of multiple Standard Model neutral fermions. When such states are heavy enough that they cannot be produced in oscillations, they are referred to as heavy neutral leptons (HNLs). In th ...

Unleashing the full power of LHCb to probe stealth new physics

Inar Timiryasov, Federico Leo Redi

In this paper, we describe the potential of the LHCb experiment to detect stealth physics. This refers to dynamics beyond the standard model that would elude searches that focus on energetic objects or precision measurements of known processes. Stealth sig ...

Freeze-in and freeze-out generation of lepton asymmetries after baryogenesis in the nu MSM

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Shintaro Eijima, Inar Timiryasov

The nu MSM an extension of the Standard Model by three relatively light singlet Majorana fermions N-1,N-2,N-3 allows for the generation of lepton asymmetry which is several orders of magnitude larger than the observed baryon asymmetry of the Universe. The ...

Preheating in Palatini Higgs inflation on the lattice

Adrien Florio, Andrey Shkerin, Inar Timiryasov, Juraj Klaric

We study preheating following Higgs inflation in the Palatini formulation of gravity. We numerically evolve perturbations of the radial mode of the Higgs field and that of three scalars modeling the gauge bosons. We compare the two non-perturbative mechani ...

The SHiP experiment at the proposed CERN SPS Beam Dump Facility

Aurelio Bay, Mikhail Chapochnikov, Guido Haefeli, Alexandre Emmanuel Grandchamp, Lesya Shchutska, Inar Timiryasov, Maria Elena Stramaglia, Ana Bárbara Rodrigues Cavalcante, Federico Leo Redi, Elena Graverini

The Search for Hidden Particles (SHiP) Collaboration has proposed a general-purpose experimental facility operating in beam-dump mode at the CERN SPS accelerator to search for light, feebly interacting particles. In the baseline configuration, the SHiP exp ...

An allowed window for heavy neutral leptons below the kaon mass

Alexey Boyarsky, Oleg Ruchayskiy, Inar Timiryasov, Juraj Klaric, Kyrylo Bondarenko

The extension of the Standard Model with two gauge-singlet Majorana fermions can simultaneously explain two beyond-the-Standard-model phenomena: neutrino masses and oscillations, as well as the origin of the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the Universe. The ...

Einstein-Cartan Portal to Dark Matter

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Andrey Shkerin, Inar Timiryasov, Sebastian Zell

It is well known since the works of Utiyama and Kibble that the gravitational force can be obtained by gauging the Poincare group, which puts gravity on the same footing as the standard model fields. The resulting theory-Einstein-Cartan gravity-inevitably ...

Projected NA62 sensitivity to heavy neutral lepton production in K+ -> pi(0)e(+) N decays

Inar Timiryasov

Heavy neutral leptons (HNLs) appear in many extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics. In this study, we investigate to which extent the NA62 experiment at CERN could improve the existing bounds on the HNL mixing angle vertical bar Ue vertical b ...

Sensitivity of the SHiP experiment to light dark matter

Aurelio Bay, Mikhail Chapochnikov, Guido Haefeli, Alexandre Emmanuel Grandchamp, Lesya Shchutska, Inar Timiryasov, Maria Elena Stramaglia, Ana Bárbara Rodrigues Cavalcante, Federico Leo Redi, Elena Graverini

Dark matter is a well-established theoretical addition to the Standard Model supported by many observations in modern astrophysics and cosmology. In this context, the existence of weakly interacting massive particles represents an appealing solution to the ...

Reinterpreting the ATLAS bounds on heavy neutral leptons in a realistic neutrino oscillation model

Jean-Loup Tastet, Inar Timiryasov

Heavy neutral leptons (HNLs) are hypothetical particles, motivated in the first place by their ability to explain neutrino oscillations. Experimental searches for HNLs are typically conducted under the assumption of a single HNL mixing with a single neutri ...

Uniting Low-Scale Leptogenesis Mechanisms

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Inar Timiryasov, Juraj Klaric

In this Letter we demonstrate that what was previously considered as different mechanisms of baryon asymmetry generation involving two right-handed Majorana neutrinos with masses far below the Grand Unified Theory scale-leptogenesis via neutrino oscillatio ...

Higgs inflation in Einstein-Cartan gravity

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Andrey Shkerin, Inar Timiryasov, Sebastian Zell

We study inflation driven by the Higgs field in the Einstein-Cartan formulation of gravity. In this theory, the presence of the Holst and Nieh-Yan terms with the Higgs field non-minimally coupled to them leads to three additional coupling constants. For a ...

Dirac vs. Majorana HNLs (and their oscillations) at SHiP

Inar Timiryasov

SHiP is a proposed high-intensity beam dump experiment set to operate at the CERN SPS. It is expected to have an unprecedented sensitivity to a variety of models containing feebly interacting particles, such as Heavy Neutral Leptons (HNLs). Two HNLs or mor ...
