Many neutrino mass models postulate the existence of at least two extra fermions in order to account for the measured solar and atmospheric mass splittings. In these models, however, the predicted hierarchy between the two mass splittings is generically much larger than the observed one, unless extra flavor symmetries are introduced. We present in this Letter a radiative neutrino mass model consisting of the Standard Model extended by one heavy fermionic singlet and two scalars which predicts, under very general conditions, a neutrino mass hierarchy in qualitative agreement with the experimental value.

Search for light exotic fermions in double-beta decays

Matteo Agostini, Elisabetta Bossio, Alejandro Ibarra, Xabier Marcano

Summary: This paper discusses using double-beta decay experiments to probe models with light exotic fermions by searching for spectral distortions in the electron spectrum. They consider models with light sterile neutrinos singly produced in double-beta decay, and models with light Z(2)-odd fermion pair produced due to a Z(2) symmetry. They estimate the discovery potential of a selection of double-beta decay experiments and find that future searches will test a new part of the parameter space at the MeV-mass scale.

Direct detection of non-galactic light dark matter

Gonzalo Herrera, Alejandro Ibarra

Summary: This study investigates the impact of non-galactic dark matter on direct detection experiments by calculating the effect of dark matter flux from the Local Group and the Virgo Supercluster on nuclear and electron recoil experiments. The results show that the increase in dark matter flux can significantly enhance the signal rate.

Flavor violating muon decay into an electron and a light gauge boson

Alejandro Ibarra, Marcela Marin, Pablo Roig

Summary: We analyze the flavor violating muon decay mu -> e chi, where chi is a massive gauge boson, with emphasis on the regime where chi is ultralight. We study this process from an effective field theory standpoint using form factors and present two explicit models that generate mu -> e chi at tree level and at the one-loop level. We also discuss the prospects of observing the mu -> e chi process in light of the current limits on mu -> 3e from the SINDRUM collaboration.

Primordial lepton asymmetries in the precision cosmology era: Current status and future sensitivities from BBN and the CMB

Miguel Escudero, Alejandro Ibarra, Victor Maura

Summary: The EMPRESS survey, using a new sample of extremely metal poor systems, has reported a primordial helium abundance that is 3s smaller than the prediction from standard big bang nucleosynthesis. This could indicate a primordial lepton asymmetry in the electron neutrino flavor. A comprehensive analysis of the lepton asymmetry is presented, using measurements of primordial element abundances and cosmic microwave background (CMB) data from Planck. The results suggest a non-zero lepton asymmetry with a deviation from zero of 2.9s, assuming no dark radiation, or 2.2s if the abundance of dark radiation is not assumed.

Leptogenesis from heavy right-handed neutrino decay

Alejandro Ibarra

Summary: Neutrino oscillation experiments have provided evidence of nonzero neutrino masses. The explanation for the smallness of neutrino masses involves adding heavy right-handed neutrinos with a Majorana mass term to the particle spectrum of the Standard Model. The out-of-equilibrium decay of these heavy neutrinos during the early stages of the Universe could potentially explain the observed matter-antimatter asymmetry.

Reevaluation of the cosmic antideuteron flux from cosmic-ray interactions and from exotic sources

Laura SerkSnyte, Stephan Koenigstorfer, Philip von Doetinchem, Laura Fabbietti, Diego Mauricio Gomez-Coral, Johannes Herms, Alejandro Ibarra, Thomas Poeschl, Anirvan Shukla, Andrew Strong, Ivan Vorobyev

Summary: This study presents the most up-to-date calculation of antideuteron fluxes from cosmic-ray collisions with the interstellar medium and from exotic processes. The recently measured inelastic interaction cross section is included to account for the loss of antideuterons during propagation.

Neutrino parameters in the Planck-scale lepton number breaking scenario with extended scalar sectors

Cesar Bonilla, Johannes Herms, Alejandro Ibarra, Patrick Strobl

Summary: The impact of two-loop effects on the right-handed neutrino masses is explored in this paper, especially when the right-handed neutrino mass spectrum is highly hierarchical at the cutoff scale. It is found that extensions of the Planck-scale lepton number breaking scenario by additional Higgs doublets can lead to an overall neutrino mass scale and hierarchy that qualitatively align with observations.

Inhomogeneity of a rotating quark-gluon plasma from holography

Nelson R. F. Braga, Octavio C. Junqueira

Summary: This study investigates the influence of rotation on the transition temperature of strongly interacting matter produced in non-central heavy ion collisions. By using a holographic description of an AdS black hole, the authors extend the analysis to the more realistic case where the matter spreads over a region around the rotational axis. The results show the coexistence of confined and deconfined phases and are consistent with the concept of local temperature in rotating frames developed by Tolman and Ehrenfest.

Constrain the time variation of the gravitational constant via the propagation of gravitational waves

Bing Sun, Jiachen An, Zhoujian Cao

Summary: This paper investigates the effect of gravitational constant variation on the propagation of gravitational waves. By employing two analytical methods, the study finds that variations in the gravitational constant result in amplitude and phase corrections for gravitational waves, and the time variation of the gravitational constant can be constrained through the propagation of gravitational waves.

Quantum tunneling from Schwarzschild black hole in non-commutative gauge theory of gravity

Abdellah Touati, Zaim Slimane

Summary: This letter presents the first study of Hawking radiation as a tunneling process within the framework of non-commutative gauge theory of gravity. The non-commutative Schwarzschild black hole is reconstructed using the Seiberg-Witten map and the star product. The emission spectrum of outgoing massless particles is computed using the quantum tunneling mechanism. The results reveal pure thermal radiation in the low-frequency scenario, but a deviation from pure thermal radiation in the high-frequency scenario due to energy conservation. It is also found that noncommutativity enhances the correlations between successively emitted particles.

Compact stars: To cross or go around? That is the question

Shahar Hod

Summary: The travel times of light signals between two antipodal points on a compact star's surface are calculated for two different trajectories. It is shown that, for highly dense stars, the longer trajectory along the surface may have a shorter travel time as measured by asymptotic observers. A critical value of the dimensionless density-area parameter is determined for constant density stars to distinguish cases where crossing through the star's center or following a semi-circular trajectory on the surface has a shorter travel time as measured by asymptotic observers.
