Lepton Universality in the $\nu$MSM

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2015-06-23 v3

Abstract

We consider the ν\nuMSM which is an extension of the Standard Model by three right-handed neutrinos with masses below the electroweak scale, in which the origins of neutrino masses, dark matter, and baryon asymmetry of the universe are simultaneously explained. Among three heavy neutral leptons, N2N_2 and N3N_3, which are responsible to the seesaw mechanism of active neutrino masses and the baryogenesis via flavor oscillation, can induce sizable contributions to various lepton universality in decays of charged mesons. It is then investigated the possible deviations of the universality in the ν\nuMSM. We find that the deviation in kaon decay can be large as O(103){\cal O}(10^{-3}), which will be probed in near future experiments.
