Quasi-Dirac Heavy Neutral Leptons in the Left-Right Symmetric Model

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2024-06-21 v1

Abstract

We discuss the phenomenology of a pair of degenerate GeV-scale Heavy Neutral Leptons within the Left-Right Symmetric Model (LRSM) framework, with the third fermion serving as a dark matter candidate. We highlight the potential of the recently approved SHiP experiment to test the existence of the light DM species, and the signatures of lepton number violation as a possible experimental probe of the model in various experiments. Our findings include concrete predictions, in some part of the model's parameter space, for the effective right-handed couplings (VeR)2:(VμR)2:(VτR)2=0.16:0.47:0.38(V^{R}_{e})^2:(V^{R}_{\mu})^2:(V^{R}_{\tau})^2 = 0.16:0.47:0.38 (normal neutrino hierarchy), 0.489:0.22:0.300.489 : 0.22 : 0.30 (inverted hierarchy) of the degenerate pair.
