=== Author === Richard Ruiz * University of Durham (IPPP) * https://www.ippp.dur.ac.uk/~rruiz/ * richard.ruiz AT durham.ac.uk === Model Description === After electroweak symmetry breaking, the effective Type I Seesaw Lagrangian 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 given by {{{ #!latex $\mathcal{L}_{N} = \frac{1}{2}\overline{N} i\!\not\!\partial N - \frac{1}{2}M_N \overline{N}N$, }}} and its interaction terms with the Weak gauge and Higgs bosons in the mass eigenbasis, i.e., after mixing with active neutrinos, by {{{ #!latex \begin{equation} \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^{-} -\frac{g}{2\cos\theta_W}Z_{\mu}\sum_{\ell=e}^{\tau} \overline{N}V_{\ell N}^{*}\gamma^{\mu}P_{L}\nu_\ell -\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{equation} }}} === Model Files === * [http://feynrules.irmp.ucl.ac.be/wiki/typeIseesaw/heavyN.fr heavyN.fr]: Main model file. * [http://feynrules.irmp.ucl.ac.be/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. * [http://feynrules.irmp.ucl.ac.be/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 unpack, use the command: ~/home/$ tar -zxvf Seesaw_TypeI.tgz * [http://feynrules.irmp.ucl.ac.be/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). * [http://feynrules.irmp.ucl.ac.be/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 === This model file was validated using FeynRules v2.0.6 and MG5_aMC@NLO (MG5) v2.1.0. The results are reported in Ref. [#Alva 2]. === References === [=#Atre] [1] A. Atre, T. Han, S. Pascoli and B. Zhang, The Search for Heavy Majorana Neutrinos, JHEP '''0905''', 030 (2009) arXiv:0901.3589 [hep-ph] [=#Alva] [2] D.
