v7 v8 7 7 == Model description == 8 8 9 The `pSPSS` describes the interactions of a pseudo-Dirac pair of two Majorana degrees of freedom [[latex($N_1$)]] and [[latex($N_2$)]] generically appearing in low-scale seesaw models protected by a lepton-number like symmetry. 10 9 The `pSPSS` describes the interactions of a pseudo-Dirac pair of two Majorana degrees of freedom [[latex($N_1$)]] and [[latex($N_2$)]] generically appearing in low-scale seesaw models protected by a lepton-number like symmetry.[[BR]] 11 10 In the lepton number conserving (LNC) limit the interactions of the symmetry protected seesaw (SPSS) with the Standard Model are 12 11 13 [[latex($\mathcal L_\text{SPSS}^L = i \overline N_i \,\not\! \partial N_i - y_{\alpha1} \widetilde H^\dagger \bar \ell_\alpha N_1^c - \overline N_1 m_M^{} N_2^c + \text{H.c.}$)]]12 [[latex($\mathcal L_\text{SPSS}^L = \overline N_i \, i\!\! \not\! \partial N_i - y_{\alpha1} \widetilde H^\dagger \bar \ell_\alpha N_1^c - \overline N_1 m_M^{} N_2^c + \text{H.c.}$)]] 14 13 15 The additional lepton number violating (LNV) interactions must be small in order to generate light neutrino masses. 16 14 The additional lepton number violating (LNV) interactions must be small in order to generate light neutrino masses.[[BR]] 17 15 Additionally, they introduce a mass splitting [[latex($\Delta m$)]] between the pseudo-Dirac heavy neutrino mass eigenstates 18 16 19 17 [[latex($m_{4/5}^{} = m_M^{} + \frac12 m_M^{} |\theta|^2 \mp \frac12 \Delta m$)]] 20 18 21 where [[latex($\theta = m_D / m_M$)]] with [[latex($m_D = y_1 v$)]] and [[latex($v\simeq174 \text{ GeV}$)]]. 22 23 The smallness of the lepton number violating interactions ensures unobservable collider effects, with the exception of heavy neutrino-antineutrino oscillations since these are a macroscopic interference effect 19 where the contribution from the active sterile mixing parameter [[latex($\theta = m_D / m_M$)]] with [[latex($m_D = y_1 v$)]] and [[latex($v\simeq174 \text{ GeV}$)]] appears already in the LNC case.[[BR]] 20 The smallness of the LNV interactions ensures unobservable collider effects, with the exception of heavy neutrino-antineutrino oscillations since these are a macroscopic interference effect 24 21 25 22 [[latex($P^{\text{LNC}/\text{LNV}}_\text{osc}(\tau) = (1 \pm \cos\left(\Delta m \tau \right) \exp(-\lambda))/2$)]] … … 27 24 where [[latex($\lambda$)]] captures the damping of the oscillations due to decoherence. 28 25 26 29 27 == !FeynRules implementation == 30 28 31 The !FeynRules model file contains as free parameter in addition to the Standard Model parameter32 * Heavy neutrino Yukawa couplings [[latex($y_1$)]] `yvn1`, `yvn2`, `yvn3`29 The !FeynRules model file contains in addition to the Standard Model parameter as free parameter the heavy neutrino 30 * Yukawa couplings [[latex($y_{\alpha1}$)]] `yvn1`, `yvn2`, `yvn3` 33 31 * Majorana mass [[latex($m_M$)]] `Mmaj` 34 32 * Mass splitting [[latex($\Delta M$)]] `deltaM` 35 * D ecoherence damping parameter [[latex($\lambda$)]] `damping`33 * Damping parameter [[latex($\lambda$)]] `damping` 36 34 37 35 == !MadGraph patch ==
