Neutrino and Z′ phenomenology in an anomaly-free U(1) extension: role of higher-dimensional operators

Abstract: We consider an anomaly-free U(1) extension of the Standard Model with three right-handed neutrinos (RHNs) and two complex scalars, wherein the charge assignments preclude all tree-level mass terms for the neutrinos. Considering this setup, in turn, to be only a low-energy effective theory, we introduce higher-dimensional terms a la Froggatt-Nielsen to naturally generate tiny neutrino masses. One of the RHNs turns out to be very light, thereby constituting the main decay mode for the Z and hence relaxing the LH… Show more

“…31 Although the 95% CL CMS observed upper limits (see figure 11 of ref. [39]) on the total pair production cross-sections of triplet fermions in type-III seesaw, being highly dependent on the production and decays of the triplet fermions in type-III seesaw, can not be applicable for other models, 32 one can always obtain 95% CL upper limits on the total pair production cross-sections of exotic fermions in a different model which also gives rise to multilepton final states by using the CMS observed number of 30 While the productions and subsequent decays of the exotic fermions in our model as well as type-III seesaw scenario give rise to multilepton final states, the CMS multilepton search limits on the masses of heavy triplet leptons in type-III seesaw model are not trivially applicable to limit the masses of triplet, quadruplet and quintuplet fermions in the present scenario. 31 Even the productions and decays of the triplet exotics in this model are very different from the production and decays of type-III seesaw triplets.…”

“…The absence of any new resonances at the LHC strongly suggests that any new physics (NP) explanation of the extant discrepancies would require the operative scale Λ to be at least a few TeVs or larger. Thankfully, even such a little hierarchy between Λ and the electroweak scale validates the use of an effective field theory (EFT) to address these discrepancies [22][23][24][25]. While a given ultraviolet-complete theory would yield, on the heavy fields being integrated out, a very specific structure for the ensuing EFT (in other words, specific relations between the Wilson coefficients), in the absence of such a theoretically motivated completion, the coefficients are completely independent.…”
