Snowmass in ContextLike the Snowmass process

The European Strategy Update is a (roughly) decadalcommunity-review processFrom 2018 to 2020, pan-European effort (with crucial input from Asiaand Americas) to realign priorities and trajectory in global contextBuilt on experiences from Snowmass 2013 exercises + new data

The European Strategy Update officially concluded in June 2020(indico.cern.ch/event/808335/timetable/)

Encouraging projections on collider sensitivity to LNV and cLFV

Today’s aim: LNV@Colliders (TH)Selective summary of results since last Snowmass / ESU

see E. Thomson’s talk for LNV@colliders (EX)

Potential opportunities and directions for current Snowmass process

humble reminder: right-handed neutrinos are not the only explanationfor tiny ν masses nor are they necessary (e.g., Type II Seesaw)

Lack of guidance from data and theory =⇒ broad approach needed(careful about putting all eggs in one basket!)

Subtle assumptions in ν mass models have led to overstatements inliterature and confusion on feasibility of LNV at colliders

Whether or not Ni decouple from collider experiments has been clarified:

Theorem: In SM + arbitrary number of gauge singlet/sterile fermions,

mν = 0 =⇒ lepton number (L) conservationPascoli, et al, [1712.07611], but see also Pilaftsis [hep-ph/9901206], Kersten and Smirnov [0705.3221]

In pure Type I scenarios, L violation decouples from colliders in two ways:1 High-scale seesaw: µM ≫ ⟨ΦSM⟩ =⇒ mν ∼ mD

(mDµM

), mN ∼ µM

2 Low-scale seesaw: µM ≪ ⟨ΦSM⟩ =⇒ mν ∼ µM

(mDmR

)2, mN ∼ mR

Known also in literature as Inverse Seesaw, Linear Seesaw, Protective Symmetries, etc.

Corollaries: Low-scale Type I + mν ≈ 0 on experimental scale,=⇒ approximate L conservation w/ Pascoli, RR, et al, [1812.08750]

=⇒ EW/TeV-scale Dirac-like Ni do not decouple in Type I scenarios=⇒ collider LNV via Ni =⇒ more new particles!

Production rate of mesons (π±,D,B) at colliders is big (σLHCbX ∼ 0.1 mb)

Light/Intermediate N at Current and Future Machines

List of current and proposed experiments sensitive to displaced N decays

Ongoing: ATLAS, CMS, LHCb, Belle2: sensitivity to µ, τ flavorsATLAS[1905.09787], CMS[1802.02965]

Ongoing: T2K: N → πℓ, 2ℓν at ND280 [Lamoureux, Neutrino2018]

Proposed: FCC-ee, CepC(5YP-2021): ee → Nν

Future: SHiP [1805.08567] and MATHUSLA [1803.02212]

Many, many studies past few years with a coherent message forming.

Type III Seesaw combines main features of Types I and II Seesaws:Idea: add SU(2)L fermion triplet (Y = 0) with mass mΣ

Key to reconciling GUTs with proton decay E.g., Bajc, Senjanovic [hep-ph/0612029], . . .

Lν Yuk. = −yΣLΣΦSM = −yΣ(νL ℓL

)( Σ0 √2Σ+

√2Σ− −Σ0

)(⟨ΦSM⟩+ h

0

)= −yΣ⟨ΦSM⟩︸ ︷︷ ︸

=mD

νLΣ0 + ...

Assuming that mΣ (Majorana mass) ≫ yΣ⟨Φ⟩ (Dirac mass)

mlight ≈ y2Σv2/2mΣ, mheavy ≈ −mΣ

For mlight = 0.1 eV, if yΣ ∼ O(ye) ∼ 1 · 10−6, mheavy ≈ 300 GeV!

After rotating into the mass basis, mixing-induced cLFV:

|T 0⟩ = cos θ |Σ0⟩+ sin θ |νℓ⟩ ≈ (1 − ε2/2) |Σ0⟩+ ϵ |νℓ⟩|T±⟩ = cosϕ |Σ±⟩+ sinϕ |ℓ±⟩ ≈ (1 − ε2/2) |Σ±⟩+ ϵ |ℓ±⟩

Type III Seesaw combines main features of Types I and II Seesaws:Idea: add SU(2)L fermion triplet (Y = 0) with mass mΣ

Key to reconciling GUTs with proton decay E.g., Bajc, Senjanovic [hep-ph/0612029], . . .

Lν Yuk. = −yΣLΣΦSM = −yΣ(νL ℓL

)( Σ0 √2Σ+

√2Σ− −Σ0

)(⟨ΦSM⟩+ h

0

)= −yΣ⟨ΦSM⟩︸ ︷︷ ︸

=mD

νLΣ0 + ...

Assuming that mΣ (Majorana mass) ≫ yΣ⟨Φ⟩ (Dirac mass)

mlight ≈ y2Σv2/2mΣ, mheavy ≈ −mΣ

For mlight = 0.1 eV, if yΣ ∼ O(ye) ∼ 1 · 10−6, mheavy ≈ 300 GeV!

After rotating into the mass basis, mixing-induced cLFV:

|T 0⟩ = cos θ |Σ0⟩+ sin θ |νℓ⟩ ≈ (1 − ε2/2) |Σ0⟩+ ϵ |νℓ⟩|T±⟩ = cosϕ |Σ±⟩+ sinϕ |ℓ±⟩ ≈ (1 − ε2/2) |Σ±⟩+ ϵ |ℓ±⟩

Improved outlook for collider tests of LNV and cLFV stems from:New channels, e.g., VBF, GF, W /Z/h/γ associated productionNew kinematic limits, e.g., off-shell portals, boosted topologiesPredictions for both Dirac and Majorana particles w/ LNV and cLFVQuantitatively reliable descriptions of jets, kinematics, and rates

Building on the ESU

Much was learned from the latest European Strategy Update(indico.cern.ch/event/808335/timetable/)

clarity lepton number violation; sensitivity to low- and high-mass,Dirac and Majorana N; viability of displaced vertex searches;importance of new production modes; new MC tools and recs.

Directions for the Snowmass process - RF4Much was learned from the European Strategy Update

(indico.cern.ch/event/808335/timetable/)

How to build on the ESU?

Displaced Vertices (I): Most (not all) work done in context of(Phenomenological) Type I Seesaw or LRSM. How about Type III?Type II? Loop models? Other gauge models? Hybrid models?

Displaced Vertices (II): Most work done with non-standard cuts, PID,geometry. Results “optimistic” or hard to compare. How aboutcommunity recommendations with PID, geometry, etc.?

τ leptons: Most studies ignore τ leptons / (complicated but notimpossible to model) and sensitivity projections are needed

remember: τ -mixing least constrained, e.g., Parke and Ross-Lonergan [1508.05095]

Directions for the Snowmass process - RF4 (con’t)How to build on the ESU?

ν NSI/EFTs: Growing in popularity and interest. Studies oncomparative sensitivity as done for Higgs and top in SMEFT helpful.

see T. Han’s talk

LNV vs cLFV: Comparative studies often treat LNV and cLFVconstraints on same footing, e.g, exclusions from ℓ±ℓ± vs 3ℓν. Someglobal comparisons need updates to resolve inconsistencies

New colliders (I): FCC-ee and FCC-hh are officially priorities (TDRdue by next ESU in 2030s). Projections now steer discussions later

New colliders (II): ILC (complement to FCC) and muon collider(competitor) remain serious options. More projections needed.

SummaryLack of clear guidance from data and theory means we must take a broad,open approach to uncovering the origin of tiny ν masses.

Colliders are incredibly complementary to oscillation facilities:▶ Direct production of Seesaw particles▶ Test UV realizations of low-scale neutrino EFTs / NSIs

e+e− and DIS machines explore new depths for light N▶ Searches for B, τ → N + X , Z → Nν, h → NN▶ Baseline luminosities at

√s = 240 GeV sufficient to go beyond LHC

pp machines explore both energy and intensity frontiers:▶ New analysis techniques =⇒ new territory for cLFV and LNV at LHC▶ N, H±±, ZB−L, T 0,± masses up to 10-15 TeV scale at

√s = 100 TeV

Studies aided by publication of user friendly simulation tools▶ Saves time and standardizes results across hep-th/-ph/-ex communities

Summary (con’t)

Lack of clear guidance from data and theory means we must take a broad,open approach to uncovering the origin of tiny ν masses.

The European Strategy Update has officially concluded▶ Lots of encouraging projections on collider sensitivity to LNV and cLFV▶ Lots not covered todays, but plenty of review documents, e.g., [1711.02180]

The Snowmass Process has officially started▶ Community studies are iterative processes and pleanty to do for

Snowmass - Rare Processes Frontier 4

Be encouraged! More data soon.▶ Let’s get to work and prepare for a discovery!

Left-Right Symmetric ModelLRSM asks what is the origin of (V − A) structure in the SM?

Why is nature weird and differentiates between LH and RH particles?

Idea: suppose nature was once parity symmetric:

G =SU(3)c⊗SU(2)L⊗SU(2)R⊗U(1)B−L⊗PLR

Ask about parity and automatically learn about B − L!Larger Higgs sector needed to breakdown “right-handed” sector to SMLight neutrino masses are complicated
