We revisit the constraints on the properties of right handed neutrinos from the requirement to explain the observed light neutrino oscillation data in the type-I seesaw model. We use well-known relations to show that there is in general no…
We propose a novel theoretical understanding of neutrino masses and mixings, which is attributed to the intrinsic vector-like feature of the regularized Standard Model at short distances. We try to explain the smallness of Dirac neutrino…
When supersymmetry is broken by condensates with a single condensing gauge group, there is a nonanomalous R-symmetry that prevents the universal axion from acquiring a mass. It has been argued that, in the context of supergravity, higher…
We consider, in the context of the minimal supersymmetric standard model, the case where the gravitino weighs 10^6 GeV or more, which is preferred by various cosmological difficulties associated with unstable gravitinos. Despite the large…
By introducing a nonlinearly transforming goldstino field non-super\-sym\-metric matter can be coupled to supergravity. This implies the possibility of coupling a standard model with one Higgs to supergravity.
We present a concise review of models for neutrino masses and mixings with particular emphasis on recent developments and current problems. We discuss in detail attempts at reproducing approximate tri-bimaximal mixing starting from discrete…
A sufficiently long lived warm dark matter could be a source of X-rays observed by satellite based X-ray telescopes. We consider axinos and gravitinos with masses between 1 keV and 100 keV in supersymmetric models with small R-parity…
The Kim-Nilles mechanism relates the $\mu$ term with the axion scale $f_a$, leading to the axino-Higgsino-Higgs Yukawa coupling of order $\mu/f_a$. This can bring a dangerous thermal production of axinos. If the axino is stable, its mass…
We analyze the neutrino mass matrix entries and their correlations in a probabilistic fashion, constructing probability distribution functions using the latest results from neutrino oscillation fits. Two cases are considered: the standard…
We study axion-neutrino interactions in neutrino-mass extensions of the Standard Model, focusing on the Type-I and inverse seesaw. In these frameworks the effective coupling $g_{a\nu}$ is tied to the axion scale and can be constrained using…
We revisited a model for charmonium hybrid meson with a magnetic gluon [Yu. S. Kalashnikova and A. V. Nefediev, Phys. Rev. D {\bf 77}, 054025 (2008)] and improved the numerical calculations. These improvements support the hybrid meson…
We propose a neutrino mass matrix texture bearing a suitable correlation $m_{22}=-2\,m_{13}$ and study its phenomenological implications. In light of both normal and inverted hierarchies, the texture imposes specific bounds on some…
Status of determination of the neutrino masses and mixing is formulated and possible uncertainties, especially due to presence of the sterile neutrinos, are discussed. The data hint an existence of special ``neutrino'' symmetries. If not…
Gauginos might play a crucial role in the search for supersymmetry at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Mass predictions for gauginos are rather robust and often related to the values of the gauge couplings. We analyse the ratios of gaugino…
The minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) of particle interactions is extended to include three singlet (right-handed) neutrino superfields together with three other singlet superfields. The resulting theory is assumed to be…
Sterile neutrinos are a compelling candidate for generating neutrino masses and for elucidating the nature of dark matter. Astrophysical X-ray constraints on sterile neutrino dark matter decays, however, largely exclude the active-sterile…
In Monte Carlo simulations of N=1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory the mass of the unphysical adjoint pion, which is easily obtained numerically, is being used for the tuning to the limit of vanishing gluino mass. In this article we show…
We study light gravitino productions in association with a neutralino at future linear colliders in a scenario in which the lightest SUSY particle is a gravitino and the produced neutralino promptly decays into a photon and a gravitino.…
In a recent work, a model of gauge mediation with sequestered supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking was proposed. In this model, the mass of the gravitino is O(100) GeV without causing the flavor-changing neutral-current problem. In contrast to…
New effects related to refraction of neutrinos in different media are reviewed and implication of the effects to neutrino mass and mixing are discussed. Patterns of neutrino masses and mixing implied by existing hints/bounds are described.…
