34. Status of Three-Neutrino Mixing and Beyond

Dr Carlo Giunti (INFN)

In the first part I briefly review the phenomenology of three neutrino mixing and I describe the status of neutrino oscillation experiments and of the experiments measuring neutrino masses in the framework of three neutrino mixing. In the second part I review the experimental indications in favor of short-baseline neutrino oscillations and I discuss their interpretation in the...

1. A model for light sterile neutrinos (TBC)

Dr Stéphane Lavignac (IPhT Saclay (CEA, France))

Some experimental anomalies suggest the possible existence of light sterile neutrino(s) mixing with the active ones. In this talk, we discuss a scenario in which the sterile neutrino is the fermionic partner of the pseudo-Goldstone boson associated with the spontaneous breaking of an approximate global symmetry.

9. Bilinear R-parity violating sneutrino heavy decay modes

In bilinear R-parity violation (BRpV), in which the superpotential includes a bilinear term between the lepton doublet and the up-type Higgs superfields, a sneutrino LSP can decay into pairs of heavy standard model states: W's, Z's, tops or Higgs bosons. These finals states can dominate over the traditionally considered bottom pair final state, yielding unique and novel supersymmetric signals...

39. From Majorana to Dirac in the Minimal Left-Right Model

The discovery of the Higgs boson allows us to test the origin of masses by observing the Higgs decay rates which are unambiguously predicted in the Standard model. In the case of neutrinos, the couplings to the SM Higgs cannot always be determined, as is the case in the conventional see-saw scenario with singlets. We show that in the left-right symmetric model the symmetry of the theory...
