Effective field theories are a very powerful mean to describe theories at energies well below a certain cutoff scale. However, not all points in the parameter space spanned by their coefficients allow for a UV completion that is both unitary and analytic, and various bounds have been derived in the literature. These bounds attain particular phenomenological relevance when applied to the...

Some New Physics scenarios that can explain the hints of Lepton Flavor Universality Violation (LFUV) observed in the B-meson decays also predict Lepton Flavor Violating (LFV) decay modes. We explore minimalistic scenarios involving leptoquark states at the $\mathcal{O}(\mathrm{TeV})$ scale which are consistent with low energy flavor physics observables. We show that the upper bound on LFV...

We study an extended 2 Higgs doublet model (2HDM) in which the Standard Model (SM) Yukawa interactions are forbidden due to a global $U(1)^\prime$ symmetry, but may arise via mixing with vector-like families. In this model, the hierarchical structure of Yukawa couplings of quarks and leptons in the SM arises from the heavy masses of the fourth and fifth vector-like families. Within this model,...

The simplest extension of the SM to account for the observed neutrino masses and mixings is the addition of at least two singlet fermions (or right-handed neutrinos). If their masses lie at or below the GeV scale, such new fermions would be produced in meson decays. Similarly, provided they are sufficiently heavy, their decay channels may involve mesons in the final state. Although the...

We explore relativistic freeze-in production of scalar dark matter in gauged $B-L$ model, where we focus on the production of dark matter from the decay and annihilation of Standard Model (SM) and $B-L$ Higgs bosons. We consider the Bose-Einstein (BE) and Fermi-Dirac (FD) statistics, along with the thermal mass correction of the SM Higgs boson in our analysis. We show that in addition to the...

We examine the impact of a faster expanding Universe on the phenomenology of scalar dark matter (DM) associated with SU(2) multiplets. Earlier works with radiation dominated Universe have reported the presence of desert region for both inert SU(2) doublet and triplet DM candidates where the DM is under abundant. We find that the existence of a faster expanding component before BBN can revive a...

The Standard Model (SM) of particle physics is currently the best known description of the fundamental constituents of matter and their interactions. However, among other things, it cannot explain the existence of dark matter, and some experimental results deviate from SM predicitons, suggesting the possibility of including New Physics by extending the SM. Possible extensions are known as dark...

In this presentation, I will talk about the prospects to search for a muonic dark force at Belle II in events with four muons in the final state. These events could be due to a new gauge boson Z$^{\prime}$ which couples only to the second and third lepton family. A short description of the background suppression technique, based on artificial neural networks, and the fitting strategies for the...

Ultralight bosonic dark matter can induce temporal variation in the masses and coupling of the Standard Model. A coupling between this dark matter candidate and neutrinos could lead to three different signatures in oscillation experiments: a time modulation of the signal, a distortion in the oscillation probability or it could manifest as a fast-varying matter potential.

Mr Manoranjan Dutta (Indian Institute of Technology Hyderabad)Poster session only
In a bid to simultaneous explanation of dark matter (DM) and tiny but non-zero masses of left-handed neutrinos, we propose a minimal extension of the Standard Model (SM) by a vector-like fermion doublet and three right handed (RH) singlet neutrinos. The DM arises as a mixture of the neutral component of the fermion doublet and one of the RH neutrinos, both assumed to be odd under an additional...

Mr Henrique Pedro Fernandes de Noronha Brito Câmara (Centro de Física Teórica de Partículas' (CFTP))Poster session only
We study the phenomenology of the minimal inverse-seesaw model composed of two ‘right-handed neutrinos’ and two sterile singlet fermions, besides the Standard Model (SM) particle content. The model is supplemented with Abelian flavour symmetries to ensure maximal predictability and establish the most restrictive flavour patterns which can be realised by those symmetries. This setup requires...

Low-energy neutrinos are clean messengers from supernovae explosions and probably carry unique insights into the process of stellar evolution. We estimate the expected number of events considering coherent elastic scattering of neutrinos off silicon nuclei, as would happen in Charge Coupled Devices (CCD) detectors. The number of expected events, integrated over a window of about 18 s, is ∼ 4...

We study axion effective field theories (EFTs), with a focus on axion couplings to massive chiral gauge fields. We investigate the EFT interactions that participate in processes with an axion and two gauge bosons, and we show that, when massive chiral gauge fields are present, such interactions do not entirely originate from the usual anomalous EFT terms. When applied to the case of the...

In the context of holography, a black hole horizon is commonly introduced to model finite temperatures. However, this choice is not unique. We investigate the minimal features that a more general metric should display in order to describe a system at a finite temperature, using semi-analytical techniques and well-established holographic superconductor models as our testing ground. The...

Mr Bernardo Gonçalves (CFTP/IST Lisbon)Poster session only
The recent measurement of the muon g−2 anomaly continues to defy a Standard Model explanation. Although such anomaly can be accommodated within the framework of two Higgs doublet models, one of the most popular scalar sector extensions, the allowed parameter space has been further restricted due to conflicts with several constraints. However, if one includes extra fermion content in the form...

General Relativity predicts that the passage of matter or radiation from an asymmetrically-emitting source should cause a permanent change in the local space-time metric. This phenomenon, called the \emph{gravitational memory effect}, has never been observed, however supernova neutrinos have long been considered a promising avenue for its detection in the future. With the advent of deci-Hertz...

We consider the generation of neutrino masses via a singly-charged scalar singlet. Under general assumptions we identify two distinct structures for the neutrino mass matrix. This yields a constraint for the antisymmetric Yukawa coupling of the singly-charged scalar singlet to two left-handed lepton doublets, irrespective of how the breaking of lepton-number conservation is achieved. The...

The Astroparticle Physics Group at the University of Zurich operates a high-purity germanium (HPGe) spectrometer (Gator) in a low-background environment underground at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso (LNGS) in Italy. The 2.2 kg $\gamma$-ray spectrometer is one of the world’s most sensitive HPGe detectors with an integrated count rate of (85.0 ± 0.9) events/(day kg) in the energy...
