=== Author === Richard Ruiz * University of Durham (IPPP) * https://www.ippp.dur.ac.uk/~rruiz/ * richard.ruiz AT durham.ac.uk === Model Description === The Type I Seesaw Model extends the Standard Model (SM) field content by introducing three right-handed neutrinos $N^{i}, ~i=1,\dots,3$, After electroweak symmetry breaking, the effective Type I Seesaw Lagrangian with one heavy Majorana neutrino $N$ is given by [ [#Atre 1] ] {{{ #!latex $\mathcal{L}_{\rm Type~I} = \mathcal{L}_{\rm SM} + \mathcal{L}_{N} + \mathcal{L}_{N~\text{Int.}} $, }}} where { #!latex $\mathcal{L}_{\rm SM}$ } is the Standard Model Lagrangian, the heavy Majorana neutrino's kinetic and mass terms are {{{ #!latex $\mathcal{L}_{N} = \frac{1}{2}\overline{N} i\!\not\!\partial N - \frac{1}{2}M_N \overline{N}N$, }}} and its interactions with the Weak gauge and Higgs bosons in the mass eigenbasis, i.e., after mixing with active neutrinos, are given by {{{ #!latex \begin{eqnarray} \mathcal{L}_{N~\text{Int}} = &-&\frac{g}{\sqrt{2}} W_{\mu}^{+}\sum_{\ell=e}^{\tau} \overline{N}V_{\ell N}^{*}\gamma^{\mu}P_{L}\ell^{-} +{\rm H.c.} \\ &-&\frac{g}{2\cos\theta_W}Z_{\mu}\sum_{\ell=e}^{\tau} \overline{N}V_{\ell N}^{*}\gamma^{\mu}P_{L}\nu_\ell +{\rm H.c.} \\ &-&\frac{g m_N}{2 M_W} h \sum_{\ell=e}^{\tau} \overline{N}V_{\ell N}^{*}P_{L}\nu_\ell +{\rm H.c.} \end{eqnarray} }}} === Model Files === * [https://feynrules.irmp.ucl.ac.be/attachment/wiki/typeIseesaw/heavyN.fr heavyN.fr]: Main model file. Relies on sm.fr (default FR model file) being declared elsewhere. * [https://feynrules.irmp.ucl.ac.be/attachment/wiki/typeIseesaw/heavyN.nb heavyN.nb]: Mathematica notebook file that loads FR and model. Allows user to run quick sanity checks (optional) and outputs UFO file. * [https://feynrules.irmp.ucl.ac.be/attachment/wiki/typeIseesaw/Seesaw_TypeI.tgz Seesaw_TypeI.tgz]: Standalone package containing heavyN.fr, heavyN.nb, massless.rst (default FR file), diagonalCKM.rst (default FR file), and sm.fr (default FR file). To download and unpack, use the commands: ~/home/$ wget https://feynrules.irmp.ucl.ac.be/attachment/wiki/typeIseesaw/Seesaw_TypeI.tgz ~/home/$ tar -zxvf Seesaw_TypeI.tgz * [https://feynrules.irmp.ucl.ac.be/attachment/wiki/typeIseesaw/Seesaw_TypeI_WithUFO.tgz Seesaw_TypeI_withUFO.tgz]: Same as Seesaw_TypeI.tgz but with UFO folder generated using restrictions massless.rst (only massive fermions are top quark and Majorana neutrino) and diagonalCKM.rst (CKM matrix set to unity). * [https://feynrules.irmp.ucl.ac.be/attachment/wiki/typeIseesaw/Seesaw_TypeI_UFO.tgz Seesaw_TypeI_UFO.tgz]: Standalone UFO folder as packaged in Seesaw_TypeI_withUFO.tgz. Notes: * The model contains five free parameters in addition to SM parameters: heavy neutrino mass mN, heavy neutrino with WN, and mixing matrix elements VeN, VmuN, and VtaN that parameterize the mixing between lepton flavor eigenstates (\nu_e, \nu_mu, \nu_tau) and heavy mass eigenstate N. '''Note''': VlN are restricted to be real in the model file. === Validation === * The model file was implemented in Ref. [ [#Alva 2] ] using FeynRules v2.0.6 and MG5_aMC@NLO (MG5) v2.1.0. See Tables 2 and 5 for further validation checks; note that mixing matrices have been factored out/normalized in tabulated results. === List of analyses that have used the model file === * Please email me to update this space. === References === [=#Atre] [1] A.
