Prof. Diego Restrepo (Universidad de Antioquia)09/01/2018, 14:30Neutrino PhysicsInvited Parallel
Models with radiative neutrino masses and viable dark matter candidates usually have implications in all the frontiers of particle physics and astrophysics, like colliders signatures with (multi)leptons plus missing energy at the LHC, direct and indirect dark matter detection experiments, and neutrino oscillation experiments. In this talk I will review the status of the simplest models in...

The $\mu\tau$-reflection symmetry is a simple symmetry capable of predicting all the unknown CP phases of the lepton sector and the atmospheric angle but too simple to predict the absolute neutrino mass scale or the mass ordering.

We show that by combining it with a discrete abelian symmetry in a nontrivial way we can additionally enforce a texture-zero and obtain a highly predictive scenario... -

We discuss the generation of neutrino masses from dimension seven 1-loop diagrams. We systematically analyse all possible d=7 1-loop topologies. There is a total of 48 topologies, but only 8 of them can lead to "genuine" d=7 neutrino masses. Here, we define genuine models to be models in which neither d=5 nor d=7 tree level masses nor a d=5 1-loop mass appear, such that d=7 loop is the...

The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a multi-purpose underground experiment under construction in south China. With 20 ktons of liquid scintillator, it will be the largest detector of this type ever assembled. Its primary goals are the determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy, the precise measurement of neutrino oscillation parameters, and the investigation of other rare...

The Two-Higgs-Doublet model (2HDM) is a simple and viable extension of the Standard Model with a scalar potential complex enough that two minima may coexist. In this work we investigate if the procedure to identify our vacuum as the global minimum by tree-level formulas carries over to the one-loop corrected potential. In the CP conserving case, we identify two distinct types of coexisting...

Guided us by the scenario of weak scale naturalness and the possible existence of exotic resonances, we have explored in a SO(5) Composite Higgs set-up the interplay among three matter sectors: elementary, top partners and vector resonances. We parametrise it through explicit interactions of spin-1 SO(4)-resonances, coupled to the SO(5)-invariant fermionic currents and tensors presented in...

We present the minimal model of electroweak baryogenesis induced by fermions. The model consists of an extension of the Standard Model with one electroweak singlet fermion and one pair of vector like doublet fermions with renormalizable couplings to the Higgs. A strong first order phase transition is radiatively induced by the singlet- doublet fermions, while the origin of the baryon asymmetry...

Probing light dark matter via direct detection is impeded by the low energy carried by light dark matter particles. I will present ways that can bypass the kinematic limitations thus enabling direct detection experiments to probe dark matter candidates in the sub-GeV region using certain inelastic channels, as well as dark matter particles that have been accelerated to high momenta after...

We present a new method to interpret the γ-ray data of our inner Galaxy as measured with the Fermi Large Area Telescope (Fermi LAT). We train and test convolutional neural networks with simulated Fermi-LAT images based on models tuned to real data. We use this method to investigate the origin of an excess emission of GeV γ-rays seen in previous studies. Interpretations of this excess include γ...

Baryon spectroscopy began in 1952 with the discovery of the first Δ resonance by Fermi and collaborators. By the mid-1980s a sizeable collection of resonances had been identified in pion-Nucleon scattering, and particle physics left this field for higher-energy pastures, confident that a basic understanding of the Nstar spectrum was at least close, if not exactly in hand. With time,...

Since the discovery of the EMC effect over 30 years ago, it’s been of great theoretical interest and studied in several experimental measurements. No unified picture arose to explain the underlying cause of per nucleon structure function modification in nuclei. Precise measurements on light nuclei from JLab’s 6 GeV era revitalized this research by showing that traditional A or density...

Lorentz Invariance Violation (LIV) has been investigated by several theories and tested by numerous experiments. Ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECR) are the most energetic particles known in the Universe and, since LIV is supposed to be suppressed in lower energies, they have been proposed as a suitable test for LIV. The Pierre Auger Observatory is the largest observatory designed to detect...

Radiatively induced neutrino masses via dark matter interactions link two different physical phenomena that separately require physics beyond the Standard Model. In addition to having a dark matter particle candidate, these scenarios provide a natural explanation for the smallness of neutrino masses compared to the electroweak scale. We investigate the framework where the new physics that...
