New light gauge bosons can affect several low-energy experiments, such as atomic parity violation or colliders. Here, we explore the possibility that a dark sector is charged under a new $U(1)$ gauge symmetry, and the portal to the Standard…
We analyze various models with an extra U(1) gauge symmetry in addition to the Standard Model (SM) gauge group at low energies, and impose limits on the mass of the neutral Z' boson, M_Z', predicted in all such models, and on the Z-Z'…
We calculate new constraints on extra neutrino interactions via light Abelian vector bosons, where the boson mass arises from Stuckelberg mechanism. We use the requirement that $Z$, $W$, and kaon decays, as well as electron-neutrino…
The phenomenological constraints on extra neutral gauge bosons at present and at future colliders are reviewed. Special attention is paid to the influence of radiative corrections, systematic errors, and kinematic cuts on the Z'…
We consider a mechanism for neutrino mass generation, based on a local B-L extension of the standard model, which becomes a linear seesaw regime for light neutrinos after spontaneous symmetry breaking. The spectrum of extra particles…
We study the Higgs mass in composite Higgs models with partial compositeness, extending the results of Ref. [1] to different representations of the composite sector for SO(5)/SO(4) and to the coset SO(6)/SO(5). For a given tuning we find in…
Many models beyond the Standard Electroweak Theory, top-down or bottom-up, contain extensions of the gauge symmetry group by extra U(1)' factors which can be understood or treated as subgroups of E(6). A brief overview of such models is…
Recent experimental results in direct dark matter detection may be interpreted in terms of a dark matter particle of mass around 10 GeV/c^2. We show that the required scenario can be realized with a new dark matter particle charged under an…
The proposed work is an extension of the Standard Model, where we have introduced two gauge symmetries, i.e., $U(1)_{B-L}$ and $U(1)_{L_e-L_\mu}$ to study neutrino phenomenology, muon, and electron $(g-2)$ as well as leptogenesis using the…
Properties of extra weak bosons are discussed in a gauge model based on SU(2)_LXU(1)_YXSU(2)'_L. The physics of SU(2)'_L respects the duality in the Higgs and confining phases, where massive gauge bosons in the Higgs phase are equivalently…
We show that an ansatz based on independent composite bosons [Phys. Rep. 463, 215 (2008)] accurately describes the condensate fraction of molecular Bose-Einstein condensates in ultracold Fermi gases. The entanglement between the fermionic…
Massive Z'-gauge bosons act as excellent harbingers for string compactifications with a low string scale. In D-brane models they are associated to U(1) gauge symmetries that are either anomalous in four dimensions or exhibit a hidden higher…
A new era in particle physics is being spurred on by new data from the Large Hadron Collider. Non-vanishing neutrino masses represent firm observational evidence of new physics beyond the Standard Model. An extension of the latter, based on…
We construct a new gauged $U(1)_\ell$ lepton number model which is anomaly-free for each SM generation. The active neutrino masses are radiatively generated with a minimal scalar sector. The phenomenology and collider signals are studied.…
A brief pedagogical overview of the phenomenology of Z' gauge bosons is presented. Such particles can arise in various electroweak extensions of the Standard Model (SM). We provide a quick survey of a number of Z' models, review the current…
When the classically conformal invariance is imposed on the minimal gauged B-L extended Standard Model (SM), the B-L gauge symmetry is broken by the Coleman-Weinberg mechanism naturally at the TeV scale. Introducing a new Z_2 parity in the…
In this paper, we explore in detail the cosmological implications of an abelian $L_\mu-L_\tau$ gauge extension of the Standard Model featuring a light and weakly coupled $Z'$. Such a scenario is motivated by the longstanding $\sim \, 4…
In the framework of an nonuniversal $U(1)'$ extension of the standard model, we propose an scalar candidate for cold dark matter which exhibits interactions with ordinary matter through Higgs and gauge bosons. Using limits from low energy…
We propose a two-loop induced Zee-Babu type neutrino mass model at the TeV scale. Although there is no dark matter candidate in the original Zee-Babu model, that is contained in our model by introducing an unbroken discrete $Z_2$ symmetry.…
We propose a new class of models called Little Z' models in order to reduce the fine-tuning due to the current experimental limits on the Z' mass in E_6 inspired supersymmetric models, where the Higgs doublets are charged under the extra…
