General neutrino-scalar couplings appear in many extensions of Standard Model. We can probe these neutrino-scalar couplings by leptonic decay of mesons and from heavy neutrino search. Our analysis improves the present limits to…
We propose a mechanism for sufficient suppression of dimension-5 operators for proton decay in a supersymmetric SO(10) model. This mechanism is analogue to the double seesaw mechanism in studying neutrino masses. Only an intermediate VEV…
We review minimal realistic grand unified models based on $SU(5)$ and $SO(10)$ gauge groups. The models with small Higgs representations and higher dimensional operators - under the assumption of no cancellations in proton decay amplitudes…
Neutrino-nucleus coherent scattering measurements by the COHERENT collaboration provide us with a unique capability to test various beyond the standard model scenarios. In this work, we constrain scalar leptoquarks (LQs) using the COHERENT…
It is common practice to explain deviations between data and Standard-Model (SM) predictions by postulating new particles at the TeV scale ad-hoc. This approach becomes much more convincing, if one successfully embeds the postulated…
We report on our work on the SU(2)_L x SU(2)_R symmetric Higgs Yukawa Model with mirror fermion action. Our model describes a fermion Higgs system in the limit of vanishing gauge coupling. Setting the bare Yukawa coupling of the mirror…
We construct a comprehensive list of non-supersymmetric standard model extensions with a low-scale LR-symmetric intermediate stage that may be obtained as simple low-energy effective theories within a class of renormalizable $SO(10)$ GUTs.…
In various extensions of the Standard Model (SM) tree level non-leptonic decays of hadrons receive contributions from new heavy gauge bosons and scalars. Prominent examples are the right-handed W' bosons in left-right symmetric models and…
If the quarks or leptons are charged under a new $U(1)$ gauge symmetry, then besides a $Z'$ boson there must exist at least one new boson whose decay products include Standard Model particles. In the case of a minimal symmetry breaking…
A low intermediate scale within minimal supersymmetric SO(10) GUTs is a desirable feature to accommodate leptogenesis. We explore this possibility in models where the intermediate gauge symmetry breaks spontaneously by (a) doublet Higgs…
Within a chiral $SU(15)$ gauge theory in which the Standard Model fermions are bound states of massless preons, we show that proton-decay operators are likely induced at the compositeness scale, $\Lambda_{\rm pre}$. Our estimate of the…
Despite the successes of the Standard Model of particle physics, it is known to suffer from a number of deficiencies. Several of these can be addressed within non-supersymmetric theories of grand unification based on $\mathrm{SO}(10)$.…
We show that electroweak triplet scalar can significantly impact baryogenesis via leptogenesis in concrete and predictive $SO(10)$ GUTs, even when light neutrino masses arise predominantly from the type-I seesaw mechanism. This is…
It has been commonly assumed that pseudoscalar contributions to the leptonic decay of charged mesons, like pions and kaons, is strongly constrained due to the helicity suppression present in the ratio $R_{l/l'} = \Gamma(P \rightarrow…
We consider a phenomenologically viable SO(10) grand unification model of the unification scale $M_G$ around $10^{16} $ GeV which reproduces the MSSM at low energy and allows perturbative calculations up to the Planck scale $M_P$ or the…
We analyze the extension of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model which includes extra Y=(0,\pm 1) supersymmetric triplets with a global SU(2)_L \otimes SU(2)_R symmetry spontaneousy broken to the custodial SU(2)_V by the vacuum…
We present a detailed study of the quark and lepton mass spectra in a SO(10) framework with one 10_H and one \bar{126}_H Higgs representations in the Yukawa sector. We consider in full generality the interplay between type-I and type-II…
We consider a supersymmetric SO(10) model with a SU(3) symmetry of flavour in which fermion masses emerge via the see-saw mixing with superheavy fermions in 16+16bar representations. In this model the dangerous D=5 operators of proton decay…
We show that in a self-consistent preon model, where Standard Model quarks and leptons are three-body composites confined at a metacolor scale Lambda_cr ~ 10^14 GeV, both leptoquarks and the Standard Model gauge group SU(3)_c x SU(2)_L x…
The alternative renormalizable minimal $SO(10)$ model is composed of the Yukawa couplings with $\textbf{10} \oplus \textbf{120}$ Higgs fields, whereas the right-handed (RH) neutrino Majorana masses are generated via the Witten mechanism.…
