We study the possibility to test the Type I seesaw mechanism for neutrino masses at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. The inclusion of three generations of right-handed neutrinos (N_i) provides an attractive option of gauging the B-L…
We extend the standard model with three right-handed singlet neutrinos and a real singlet scalar. We impose two $Z_2$ and $Z_2^\prime$-symmetries. We explain the tiny neutrino mass-squared differences with two $Z_2$- and $Z_2^\prime$-even…
The existence of certain TeV suppressed higher-dimension operators may open up new decay channels for the Higgs boson to decay into lighter right-handed neutrinos. These channels may dominate over all other channels if the Higgs boson is…
We consider the simple extension of the Standard Model in which an additional right handed neutrino propagates along a flat extra dimension, while the Standard Model fields are confined on a 3-brane. The fifth dimension is $S^1/Z_2$…
A simple extension of the standard model (SM) providing transient magnetic moments to right-handed neutrinos is presented. In this model, the decay of next-to-lightest right-handed heavy neutrino to the lightest one and a photon (N 2 -> N 1…
We present and explore the Higgs physics of a model that in addition to the Standard Model fields includes a lepton number violating singlet scalar field. Based on the fact that the only experimental data we have so far for physics beyond…
In this letter we consider that assuming: a) that the only left-handed neutral fermions are the active neutrinos, b) that $B-L$ is a gauge symmetry, and c) that the $L$ assignment is restricted to the integer numbers, the anomaly…
Interest in searches for heavy neutral leptons (HNLs) at the LHC has increased considerably in the past few years. In the minimal scenario, HNLs are produced and decay via their mixing with active neutrinos in the Standard Model (SM)…
We study the possibility of right-handed neutrino dark matter (DM) in gauged $U(1)_{B-L} \times Z_2$ extension of the standard model augmented by an additional scalar doublet, being odd under the $Z_2$ symmetry, to give rise the scotogenic…
We explore right-handed sneutrino-antisneutrino mixing in a TeV scale B-L extension of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), (B-L)SSM, where a type I seesaw mechanism of light neutrino mass generation is naturally implemented.…
In this doctoral thesis, we study both low- and high-energy observables related to massive neutrinos. Neutrino oscillations have provided indisputable evidence in favour of non-zero neutrino masses and mixings. However, the original…
The Standard Model augmented by the presence of gauge-singlet right-handed neutrinos proves to be an ideal scenario for accommodating nonzero neutrino masses. Among the new parameters of this ``New Standard Model'' are right-handed neutrino…
We analyze the role of sterile neutrinos in the framework of the $\mu\nu$SSM, where the presence of right-handed neutrinos provides a simultaneous solution to $\mu$- and $\nu$-problems in supersymmetry. We adopt a minimalistic approach,…
The extension of the standard model with new high-scale weakly coupled physics involving right-handed neutrinos in an effective field theory framework (SMNEFT) allows for a systematic study of heavy neutrinos phenomenology in current and…
Heavy nearly-sterile neutrinos are a common ingredient in extensions of the Standard Model which aim to explain neutrino masses, like for instance in Type I seesaw models, or one of its variants. If the scale of the new Heavy Neutral…
We scrutinize the hypothesis that gauge singlet fermions -- sterile neutrinos -- interact with Standard Model particles through the transition magnetic moment portal. These interactions lead to the production of sterile neutrinos in…
We argue that a detailed analysis of semileptonic decays can test the possibility of a massive neutrino. The key observable, related to the forward-backward asymmetry, is exactly zero for a massless neutrino but becomes non-zero if the…
The impact of new physics on the interactions of neutrinos with other particles can be parametrized by a set of effective four-fermion operators called non-standard neutrino interactions (NSIs). This NSI framework is useful for studying the…
We provide an ultraviolet (UV) complete model for the $R(D^{(*)})$ anomalies, in which the additional contribution to semi-tauonic $b \to c$ transitions arises from decay to a right-handed sterile neutrino via exchange of a TeV-scale…
The left-right symmetric model with doublet and bi-doublet Higgs scalars can accommodate linear, inverse or double seesaw for generating small neutrino masses in the presence of three singlet fermions. If the singlet fermions have small…
