Conveners
Tuesday after lunch: Dark, LFV, LFU, SNO+
- David Norvil Brown (Western Kentucky University)
We will discuss some recent anomalies in the LHC data, which are tantalizing hints of leptophilic dark scalars. Implications for lepton flavor violation and neutrino mass will also be discussed.
Dark sectors that communicate with the visible sector via SM neutrinos are well-motivated benchmarks for current and future experimental searches. However, they are much more elusive than the typical minimal portal scenarios (e.g dark photon, dark Higgs portals). In this talk, we will discuss some models of neutrino portal dark matter that become increasingly more invisible, and describe...
We review the status and importance of lepton flavor violation with tauons, focusing on well-motivated theoretical models, e.g. connected to neutrino mass, and possible novel signatures involving light new physics.
As one of the hypothetical principles in the Standard Model (SM), lepton flavor universality (LFU) should be tested with a precision as high as possible such that the physics violating this principle can be fully examined. The run of $Z$ factory at a future $e^+e^-$ collider such as CEPC or FCC-$ee$ provides a great opportunity to perform this task because of the large statistics and high...
SNO+ aims to detect the neutrinoless double beta decay (0νββ) signals of Te130, which, if observed, would prove neutrinos are Majorana particles that violate lepton number, providing strong evidence for physics beyond the Standard Model, and shed light on the origin of matter over antimatter in the Universe. Between 2017 - 2019, SNO+ took data in the water phase, during which it obtained...
