Seminar

Circular polarisation: a window to physics BSM

by Dr Maura Ramírez Quezada

Australia/Sydney
Description

Right handed neutrinos are introduced to the Standard Model to explain the observed active neutrino masses. If CP is violated during their radiative decays, an asymmetry between two circularly--polarised photons can be generated. The CP asymmetry is somehow connected to circular polarisation. Therefore, observations of such polarised signals potentially lead to a measurement of the CP violation in the process. Here,  I will discuss the connection between these two asymmetries for Dirac neutrinos and then apply this formalism to a minimal seesaw mode.
