$$ {R}_{D^{\left(*\right)}},{R}_{K^{\left(*\right)}} $$ and neutrino mass in the 2HDM-III with right-handed neutrinos

Abstract

Given that the two-Higgs-doublet model of type III (2HDM-III) has the potential to address the R D (*) anomalies while the resolution to the R K (*) deficits requires new degrees of freedom within this framework, we consider in this paper a unified scenario where the low-scale type-I seesaw mechanism is embedded into the 2HDM-III, so as to accommodate the R D (*) and R K (*) anomalies as well as the neutrino mass. We first revisit the R D (*) anomalies and find that the current world-averaged results can be addressed at 2σ level without violating the bound from the branching ratio B(B − c → τ −ν) 30%. The scenario predicts two sub-eV neutrino masses based on a decoupled heavy Majorana neutrino and two nearly degenerate Majorana neutrinos with mass around the electroweak scale. For the R K (*) anomalies, the same scenario can generate the required Wilson coefficients in the direction C NP 9µ = −C NP 10µ < 0, with O(1) Yukawa couplings for the muon and the top quark.

Synergetic Catalysis of Nickel Oxides with Oxygen Vacancies and Nickel Phosphide for the Highly Efficient Hydrodeoxygenation of Phenolic Compounds

“…Transition metal phosphides have generally been used for the HDO process, especially nickel phosphide, because of their unique physical and chemical properties from the insertion of P into Ni. Additionally, the presence of vacancies on the surface of the catalysts promotes the catalytic performance of reactions as a result of their distinct electronic characteristics.…”

Conjugated NH2‐Enhanced Cross‐Linked Polymer Anode for Lithium‐Ion Batteries with High Reversible Capacity and Superior Cycling Stability

“…The C-PDA was fabricated using a Friedel-Crafts hyper-cross-linking. [47][48][49][50] 5 g p-phenylenediamine, 70 mL 1, 2-dichloroethane, and 10 mL dimethoxymethane were added in a three-neck flask under room temperature with a magnetic stirring. Subsequently, the temperature was raised to 80 C and the cross-linking reaction started after adding 5 g anhydrous aluminum chloride (AlCl 3 ).…”

Origin of High Interfacial Resistances in Solid‐State Batteries: Interdiffusion and Amorphous Film Formation in Li0.33La0.57TiO3/LiMn2O4 Half Cells

“…Interdiffusion can be easily identified by concentration gradients in the EDS data. [34] In solid state batteries, Han [19] observed an interphase formed by interdiffusion between LCO and LLZO via SEM and EDS mapping, and Kim [35] detected the similar interdiffusion via TEM and EDS line scan. In high resolution TEM or STEM, the interphase could be observed directly by the difference in atomic mass (Z contrast).…”
