18 Tomography by neutrino pair beam

The idea of neutrino tomography is the imaging of the Earth ’s interior structure by using the neutrino. We assume the neutrino pair beam which has recently been proposed as neutrino source. The beam produces a large amount of neutrino and antineutrino pairs from the circulating partially stripped ions and provides the possibility to measure precisely the energy spectrum of neutrino oscillation probability together with a sufficiently large detector. It is shown that the pair beam gives a better sensitivity to probe the Earth’s crust compared with the neutrino sources at present. In addition we present a method to reconstruct a matter density profile by means of the analytic formula of the oscillation probability in which the matter effect is included perturbatively to the second order.

19 Testing right handed neutrinos at the linear collider

The inclusion of heavy right-handed neutrinos to the Standard Model particle content is one of the best motivated ways to account for the observed neutrino masses and flavor mixing. The modification of the charged and neutral currents from the active-sterile mixing of the neutral leptons can provide novel signatures which can be tested at the linear collider experiment. In this talk we will explore the discovery prospect of a very heavy right handed neutrinos to probe such extensions at the future liner collider. We consider the production of the heavy neutrino via the $t$ and $s$-channel processes and its subsequent decays into the semi-leptonic final states. In this talk we study a variety of prospects for the right handed neutrinos searches at the linear collider such as general parametrization and boosted object to show a discovery reach. Finally we compare our bounds on the mixing angle with the existing experimental data.

26 Leptogenesis and Low-Energy Leptonic CP Violation

In this talk I discuss the possibility of producing the observed baryon asymmetry of the Universe via thermal leptogenesis, where CP violation comes exclusively from the low-energy phases of the neutrino mixing matrix. We demonstrate the viability of thermal leptogenesis across seven orders of magnitude 10^6<T (GeV)< 10^13.

We clarify that at very high scales T > 10^12 GeV is sensitive to the low-energy phases, in contradiction with what is usually claimed in the literature.

34 Sign of CP violating phases in neutrinos and quarks

We discuss the relation between the CP violation of the quark mixing and that of the lepton mixing by investigating a CP violating observable, the Jarlskog invariant, as well as the CP violating Dirac phase. The down-type quark mass matrix with three zeros is given in terms of the minimal number of parameters, while the up-type quark mass matrix is diagonal. These quark mass matrices leading to the successful CKM mixing angles and CP violation are embedded in both the Pati--Salam and SU(5) models. The leptonic Jarlskog invariant JCP (as well as CP violating Dirac phase) is examined for two cases:the neutrino mass matrix is diagonal or non-diagonal, where no additional CP violating phase is introduced apart from the Majorana phases. The favorable sign of the leptonic CP violation is obtained as well as the magnitude of JCP.

35 Leptogenesis from active neutrino oscillation

The possibility of generating the baryon asymmetry of the Universe via flavor oscillation in the early Universe is discussed. After the inflation, leptons are born in some states, travel in the medium, and are eventually projected onto flavor eigenstates due to the scattering via the Yukawa interactions. By using the Lagrangian of the Standard Model with the Majorana neutrino mass terms, llHH, we follow the time evolution of the density matrices of the leptons in this very first stage of the Universe and show that the CP violation in the flavor oscillation can explain the baryon asymmetry of the Universe. In the scenario where the reheating is caused by the decay of the inflaton into the Higgs bosons, the baryon asymmetry is generated by the CP phases in the Pontecorvo-Maki-Nakagawa-Sakata matrix and thus can be tested by the low energy neutrino experiments.

36 Resonant leptogenesis at TeV-scale and neutrinoless double beta decay

We investigate a resonant leptogenesis scenario by quasi-degenerate right-handed neutrinos which have TeV-scale masses. Especially, we consider the case when two right-handed neutrinos are responsible to leptogenesis and the seesaw mechanism for active neutrino masses, and assume that the CP violation occurs only in the mixing matrix of active neutrinos. In this case the sign of the baryon asymmetry depends on the Dirac and Majorana CP phases as well as the mixing angle of the right-handed neutrinos. It is shown how the yield of the baryon asymmetry correlates with these parameters. In addition, we find that the effective neutrino mass in the neutrinoless double beta decay receives an additional constraint in order to account the observed baryon asymmetry depending on the masses and mixing angle of right-handed neutrinos.

37 General SU(N) Scotogenic (non-)Supersymmetric and CFT Models

Generalization of the scotogenic neutrino mass model in the supersymmetric, non-supersymmetric, and CFT framework is presented, where Standard Model gauge group $SU(3)_c\otimes SU(2)_L\otimes U(1)_Y$ is extended by $SU(N)_D$ dark gauge symmetry that stabilizes dark matter with $N\geq 2$. Neutrino masses are generated via dim-5 Weinberg effective operator, $\frac{(LH)(LH)}{\Lambda}$, therefore the $SU(N)_D$ gauge symmetry can be spontaneously broken as well as unbroken. We also discuss the embedding of $G_{SM}\otimes SU(N)_D$ gauge group into Grand Unified Theory (GUT) and gauge coupling unification.

38 Higgs parity, SO(10) Unification and future colliders

Precise measurements of the standard model parameters by the LEP has shown that supersymmetry realizes precise coupling unification. We introduce a non-supersymmetric scheme of coupling unification via the Higgs parity and show how precise unification is realized. We discuss the prediction on the proton decay rate and the importance of the precise measurement of the standard model parameters.

44 Exotic Physics Searches at Neutrino Detectors

The MiniBooNE experiment has recently reported an anomalous 4.5 \sigma excess of electron-like events consistent with \nu_e appearance from a \nu_\mu beam at short-baseline. Given the lack of corresponding \nu_\mu

disappearance observations, required in the case of oscillations involving a sterile flavor, there is strong motivation for alternative explanations of this anomaly. We consider the possibility that the observed electron-like signal may

actually be due to hypothetical new particles, which do not involve new sources of neutrino production or oscillations. We find that the electron-like event energy and angular distributions in the full MiniBooNE data-set, including

neutrino mode, antineutrino mode, and beam dump mode, severely limit, and in some cases rule out, new physics scenarios as an explanation for the observed neutrino and antineutrino mode excesses. Specifically, scenarios in which the new particle decays (visibly or semi-visibly) or scatters elastically in the detector are strongly disfavored. Using generic kinematic arguments, this paper extends the existing MiniBooNE results and interpretations to exhaustively

constrain previously unconsidered new physics signatures and emphasizes the power of the MiniBooNE beam dump search to further constrain models for the excess.

45 Neutrino Trident Production

Rare scattering processes at neutrino experiments can serve as an ideal tool for the search of new physics. In this context, I will present the sensitivity of the DUNE near detector to leptophilic Z' models, using neutrino-electron and neutrino trident scattering. I will then discuss how more exotic models, such as recent proposals of "dark" neutrinos, can also lead to such signatures and argue how these can be searched for.

46 Direct Detection Prospects for the Cosmic Neutrino Background

The Cosmic Neutrino Background is a solid prediction of the Standard Model of Cosmology and Particle Physics. There is plenty of indirect evidence for its existence but so far it escaped direct detection. I will explain the difficulties in such an endeavor and present some recent ideas and proposals for it. Interestingly, some of the proposals could act simultaneously as a dark matter experiment.
