In this paper, we derive a simplified formula of electric dipole moments (EDMs) of a fermion. In the Standard Model, it is well-known that non-trivial cancellations between some rainbow-type diagrams induced by $W$ boson exchanges occur in…
We have developed an extension of the inert doublet model in which the CP-phases in the weak sector are generated from one-loop level corrections mediated by dark fields, while the strong-CP phase arises at three-loop. In this framework,…
We report the results of our {\it ab initio} relativistic many-body calculations of the electric dipole moment (EDM) $d_A$ arising from the electron-nucleus tensor-pseudotensor (T-PT) interaction, the interaction of the nuclear Schiff…
The CP-violating phenomenology of the MSSM with Minimal Flavor Violation (MFV) in the lepton sector is revisited. To this end, the most general parametrizations of the slepton soft-breaking terms are constructed assuming a seesaw mechanism…
Supersymmetric theories involving a spontaneously broken flavor symmetry can solve the flavor-changing problem while having quark and lepton masses derived from both $F$ and $D$ terms. As an example, a theory of leptons is constructed in…
The totality of present neutrino data seems to require four light neutrinos, but only three of them can be the neutral components of left-handed lepton doublets. To accommodate one or more naturally light singlet neutrino(s), an extra U(1)…
We propose two versions of radiative linear seesaw models, where electrically charged scalars and vector-like leptons generate the Dirac neutrino mass submatrix at one and two loop levels. In these models, the SM charged lepton masses are…
The existence of electric dipole moments (EDM) for fundamental particles signals time-reversal symmetry (T) violation accompanied by violation of parity (P); only upper limits have been established to date. Time-reversal violation in turn…
The Seesaw extensions of the Standard Model not only provide a natural explanation for tiny neutrino masses, they also predict additional heavy states such as Majorana neutrinos, charged leptons, and scalar triplets. Distinguishing between…
The question of CP violating phases and electric dipole moments (EDMs)for the electron ($d_e$) and the neutron ($d_n$) for supergravity models with nonuniversal soft breaking is considered for models with a light ($\stackrel{<}{\sim}$1 TeV)…
While electron and muon dipole moments are well-established precision probes of physics beyond the standard model, it is notoriously challenging to test realistic new-physics (NP) scenarios for the $\tau$ lepton. Constructing suitable…
The seesaw mechanism for three neutrinos is discussed, clarifying the situation where the seesaw texture results in three approximately zero mass eigenvalues. The true underlying mechanism is shown to be just the $inverse$ (or $linear$)…
We propose a scheme in that the masses of the heavier leptons obey seesaw type relations. The light lepton masses, except the electron and the electron neutrino ones are generated by one loop level radiative corrections. We work in a…
The supersymmetric standard model with right-handed neutrino supermultiplets generically contains a soft supersymmetry breaking mass term: $\delta L ={1 \over 2} B_\nu M\tilde{\nu}_R \tilde {\nu}_R$. We call this operator the "neutrino…
Specific class of textures for the Dirac and Majorana mass matrices in the seesaw model leading to a pair of almost degenerate neutrinos is discussed. These textures can be obtained by imposing a horizontal $U(1)$ symmetry. A specific model…
We examine the cancellation mechanism between the different contributions to the electric dipole moment of the neutron in a model with dilaton-dominated SUSY breaking. We find these accidental cancellations occur at few points in parameter…
We propose indium (In) as a possible candidate for observing the permanent electric dipole moment (EDM) arising from the violations of parity (P) and time-reversal (T) symmetries. This atom has been laser cooled and therefore the…
In this paper we propose a radiated linear seesaw model where the naturally small term $\mu_{L}$ are generated at one-loop level and its soft-breaking of lepton number symmetry attributes to the spontaneous breaking(SSB) of B-L gauge…
Adding a second scalar doublet (eta^+,eta^0) and three neutral singlet fermions N_{1,2,3} to the Standard Model of particle interactions with a new Z_2 symmetry, it has been shown that eta^0_R or eta^0_I is a good dark-matter candidate and…
We propose a simple, testable, SU(5) model within the context of the type II neutrino see-saw mechanism. It is based on requiring renormalizability, the absence of any other matter fields besides those already present in the Standard Model…
