1 Mirror fermions, electroweak scale right-handed neutrinos and experimental implications P. Q. Hung University of Virginia Ljubljana 2008

2 Plan of Talk The question of parity restoration at high energies: Gauge Left-Right symmetric model vs SM with mirror fermions. Contrasts between these two points of view concerning the Seesaw Mechanism. Implications of mirror fermions: Right-handed neutrino masses, M R, can be of the order of the electroweak scale Λ EW = 246 GeV, i.e. M Z /2 < M R < Λ EW.

3 Experimental implications of electroweak scale mirror fermions: Lepton-number violating processes at electroweak scale energies; production ν R s at colliders and their decays into likesign dileptons, Lepton Flavour Violating (LFV) processes such as µ e γ, τ µ γ,.. Conclusions

4 The question of parity restoration at high energies Parity is violated at low energies. Well described by the SM SU(2) L U(1) Y. All left-handed fermions are doublets under SU(2) L U(1) Y. There are no right-handed neutrinos in the minimal SM. Is parity violation an intrinsic feature of nature or is it just an effect at low energies? If it is an effect at low energies, one might expect parity restoration at high energies. How and how high?

5 Most popular model for this purpose: The gauge left-right symmetric model SU(2) L SU(2) R U(1) B L (Mohapatra and Senjanovic). Here parity violation is manifest at low energies because the mass of the SU(2) L gauge bosons M WL is much less than the mass of the SU(2) R gauge bosons, M WR. Parity is restored for E M WR M WL. Implications concerning neutrino masses. Alternative viewpoint: The gauge group is still the SM SU(2) L U(1) Y. But now for every left-handed doublet we have a right-handed doublet, for every right-handed singlet, we have a left-handed singlet Mirror Fermions

6 Here parity violation is manifest at low energies because the mass of the mirror fermions will be assumed to be larger than that of their SM counterparts. Parity is restored for E M mirror > M SM. Different implications concerning neutrino masses! Punchlines: Gauge L-R symmetric model and its GUT extensions e.g. SO(10): Majorana mass of right-handed neutrinos are much larger than the electroweak scale in general. SM with mirror fermions: Majorana mass of right-handed neutrinos are of the order of the electroweak scale. Huge implications concerning the test of the see-saw mechanism and the Majorana nature of neutrinos!

7 Mirror fermions and Electroweak scale ν R s (hep-ph/ , P.L.B649, 275 (2007)) This is the SM with Mirror Fermions. Mirror: same meaning as in the previous slides. Mirror Fermions cannot be much heavier than the electroweak scale. ν R s are now not sterile i.e. non-singlet under SU(2) L U(1) Y, and can have a low mass of O(Λ EW ).

8 Constraints: A non-singlet ν R will couple to the Z boson Strong constraint from the Z width! A Majorana bilinear ν T R σ 2 ν R will transform non-trivially under SU(2) L Strong constraint on the SU(2) L Higgs field which couples to that bilinear and which develops a non-zero vacuum expectation value, in particular one has to preserve the successful relation M W = M Z cos θ W (ρ = 1)! SM with Mirror Fermions

9 Gauge group: SU(2) U(1) Y. Leptonic content: SU(2) L doublets: SM: l L = ( νl e L ) ) ( Mirror: lr M = νr e M R (Notice this is different from lr c = iσ 2lL ) e M R e R because neutral current experiments force e R to be an SU(2) L singlet. SU(2) L singlets:

10 SM: e R Mirror: e M L In addition to heavy mirror leptons, the model also contains heavy mirror quarks. It is amusing to note that anomaly cancellation can be done between SM fermions and their mirror counterparts. One does not need the usual cancellation between quarks and leptons. Charge quantization: sign of GUT? Also the requirement of the vanishing of the non-perturbative Witten anomaly for SU(2) L Even number of doublets can be accomplished with just leptons or just quarks!

11 Mass terms for neutrinos: (other charged fermions receive masses by coupling to the SM Higgs doublet.) Lepton-number conserving Dirac mass: L S = g Sl l L φ S l M R + g Sl l M L φ S l R + H.c. φ S = v S m D = g Sl v S Unrelated to the electroweak scale i.e. does not break the SM. Lepton-number violating Majorana mass: The relevant bilinear is l M,T R σ 2lR M. This cannot couple to a singlet Higgs field since its VEV would break charge conservation Only option: an SU(2) L triplet Higgs χ = (3, Y/2 = 1).

12 χ = 1 2 τ. χ = 1 2 χ + χ ++ χ χ + L M = g M l M,T R σ 2 τ 2 χ l M R χ 0 = v M M R = g M v M Although a U(1) M global symmetry is imposed to avoid a Majorana mass term for the L-H neutrinos at the lowest order, it is not necessary and other options are possible. This VEV also breaks SU(2) L! The successful relation M W = M Z cos θ W (ρ = 1) which relies primarily on SU(2) L Higgs fields being doublets would be spoiled unless v M Λ EW. Trouble!! The Z-width constraint requires M R > M Z /2.

13 With just χ, ρ = 1/2. ρ can be significantly different from 1 at tree-level when both doublet and triplet with comparable V.E.V s are present! Elegant solution (Chanowitz and Golden, Georgi and Machacek): ρ 1 is a manifestation of an approximate custodial global SU(2) symmetry of the Higgs potential. (Recall: In the SM with Higgs doublets, the W mass term is 1 2 M 2 W W µ W µ with M 2 W = 1 4 g2 v 2, reflecting that custodial symmetry.) To maintain that custodial symmetry, one can add an additional Higgs triplet ξ = (3, Y/2 = 0) which can be grouped with χ = (3, Y/2 = 1) to form χ = χ 0 ξ + χ ++ χ ξ 0 χ + χ ξ χ 0

14 Global SU(2) L SU(2) R symmetry of the Higgs potential with χ being (3, 3) of that global symmetry. The ( complex Higgs φ doublet belong to a (2, 2) representation: Φ = 0 φ + ) φ φ 0, With χ = v M v M v M and Φ = ( v2 0 0 v 2 )

15 breaking global SU(2) L SU(2) R down to a custodial SU(2) symmetry with M W = g v/2 and M Z = M W / cos θ W, where v = v v2 M 246 GeV. ρ = 1 even if v M O(Λ EW )!! M R O(Λ EW )! Two questions: How low can M R be? Answer: M Z /2 from the constraint of the Z width. M Z /2 < M R < O(Λ EW )

16 A rather narrow range! What about m D or rather the VEV v S of the singlet Higgs field? Answer: With the light neutrino mass m ν 1 ev and M R O(Λ EW ) m D 10 5 ev v S 10 5 ev if we assume g Sl O(1) or e.g. v S 10 8 ev if g Sl (Possible cosmological implications of a singlet scalar field e.g. the possibility of of the link between Mass-Varying Neutrinos (MaVans) and Dark Energy: Hung; Gu, Wang and Zhang; Fardon, Nelson and Weiner. Also, constraints from CMB? Other astrophysical implications?)

17 Implications at colliders Majorana neutrinos with electroweak scale masses leptonnumber violating processes at electroweak scale energies. (For singlet ν R s, the issue is much more complex, involving delicate cancellations to keep the light neutrinos light (Kersten and Smirnov).) In particular, we should be able to produce ν R s and observe their decays at colliders (LHC, etc...) Characteristic signatures: like-sign dilepton events A high-energy equivalent of neutrinoless double beta decay. (This was discussed in the context of L-R model by Keung and Senjanovic (83).) That could be the

18 smoking gun for Majorana neutrinos! Another interesting model with electroweak scale lepton triplet with zero hypercharge was proposed by Bajc and Senjanovic (Type III see-saw). From l M R at tree level! ( = νr e M R ), ν R s interact with the Z and W bosons Recall M Z /2 < M R < Λ EW. Production of ν R s: q + q Z ν R + ν R and e.g.

19 u + d W + ν R + l M,+ R Production cross section: σ 400 fb at LHC for M R 100 GeV N = L σ events/year with maximal luminosity L = cm 2 s 1. ν R s are Majorana and can have transitions ν R l M, R + W ±. A heavier ν R can decay into a lighter l M R and ν R + ν R l M, R + l M, R + W ± + W ± ll + l L + W ± + W ± + φ S + φ S, where φ S would be missing energy. ν R +l M,+ R l M,+ R +l M,+ R +W l L + +l+ L +W +φ S +φ S. Interesting like-sign dilepton events! like-sign dimuons for example. One can look for

20 Since this involves missing energies Careful with background! For example one of such backgound could be a production of W ± W ± W W with 2 like-sign W s decaying into a charged lepton plus a neutrino ( missing energy ). But...This is of O(α 2 W ) in amplitude smaller than the above process. Another background: H +W W W W. In addition, depending on the lifetime of the mirror leptons, the SM leptons appear at a displaced vertex. Lepton-number violating process with like-sign dileptons can also occur with ν R s in the intermediate state (from W ± W ± l L ± +l± L ) but that involves very small mixing angles of the order m ν M R.

21 Detailed phenomenological analyses are in preparation: SM background, event reconstructions, etc...

22 LFV processes: µ e γ, τ µ γ (arxiv: [hep-ph], P. L. B. 659, 585 (2008)) Mixing between SM leptons and Mirror leptons LFV processes. For example:

23 γ l i e M e M l j φ S Dominant diagram for l i l j + γ Lagrangians: Doublet sector: e 0 L = U l L e L ; e 0,M R = U lm R em R

24 L S,charged = (ē L U L e M R ) φ S + H.c. U L = U l, L g Sl UR lm Singlet sector: e 0 R = U R l e R ; e 0,M L = UL lmem L L S = (ē R U R e M L ) φ S + H.c. U R = U l, R g Sl U L lm Connection with the (Dirac) neutrino mass matrix: m D ν = v S g Sl m D ν v = U l S L U L U lm, R If g Sl = g Sl: m D ν v = U l S R U R U lm, L

25 Deep connection between the Dirac part of the neutrino mass matrix, m D ν. and the matrices which are involved in LFV processes in our model, namely U L and U R. The processes µ e γ and τ µ γ: Amplitude: T (l i l j γ) = ɛ λ ū lj (p q){i q ν σ λν [c (l i) L (1 γ 5 ) 2 +c (l i) R (1 + γ 5 )]}u li (p). 2 Decay rate:

26 Γ(l i l j γ) = m3 l i 16 π ( c(l i) L + c(l i) R 2 + c (l i) L c(l i) R 2 ) Branching ratios: B(µ e γ) = Γ(µ e γ) Γ(µ e ν e ν µ ) = 12π2 m 2 µg 2 ( c (µ) L F + c(µ) R 2 + c (µ) L c(µ) R 2 ). B(τ µ γ) B(τ µ ν µ ν τ ) = Γ(τ µ γ) Γ(τ µ ν µ ν τ ) = 12π2 m 2 τ G 2 ( c (τ) L F + c(τ) R 2 + c (τ) L c(τ) R 2 ). c (µ) L, c(µ) R, c(τ) L and c(τ) R at one loop:

27 c (µ) L = 1 64 π 2 i U R iµ U L ei m i ; c (µ) R = 1 64 π 2 i U R c (τ) L = 1 iτ 64 π i U µi L 2 m ; c (τ) i R = 1 64 π i 2 m i : masses of mirror charged leptons. Uiµ L U ei R m i Uiτ L U µi R m i To gain(?) some insights, go to some special cases. Special cases: g Sl = g Sl, U l L = U l R U L = U R = U E and U lm R = U lm L. c (µ) L = c(µ) R = 1 64 π 2 1 m E i( m E m i )(U E iµ U E ei ),

28 c (τ) L = c(τ) R = π 2 m E i( m E m )(U E i iτ U µi E ) m i = m E + δm i. Matrix elements of U E Determination of lifetime and decay length of mirror charged leptons. Experimental constraints: B(τ µ γ) exp < (BaBar) B(τ µ γ) exp < (Belle) B(µ e γ) exp < (PDG) Constraints on mixings:

29 i( m E m i )(U E iµ U E ei ) 2 < , i( m E m i )(U E iτ U E µi ) 2 < { } 10 12, { } for m E = 100 GeV, 200 GeV respectively. Depending on U E, there are several possibilities: both processes are observed, one is observed and not the other; none is observed Implications on lifetime and decay length of mirror charged leptons. Some examples with e.g. m E = 100 GeV :

30 Case I: U E i e λ3 ; U E i µ λ2 ; U E i τ λ B(µ e γ) λ 4 B(τ µ γ) B(τ µ γ) λ < B(µ e γ) < : below the MEG proposal. Two orders of magnitude Case II: U E i e λ3 ; U E i µ λ ; U E i τ λ2 B(µ e γ) λ 2 B(τ µ γ) Again λ < B(µ e γ) < : Well within the range of the MEG proposal. Case III: U E i e λ ; U E i µ λ2 ; U E i τ λ3

31 B(µ e γ) λ 6 and B(τ µ γ) λ 10. constraints λ < To satisfy both B(τ µ γ) < : Hopelessly small! Summary: λ B(τ µ γ) B(µ e γ) Case I: Case II: Case III: Connection between LFV processes (low energy) and the decay length of mirror charged lepton (high energy): Take Case II just as an example:

32 Γ(e M 3 µ + φ S) m E λ 2 /(32 π) l = 1/Γ(e M 3 µ + φ S) 2445 fm for λ Microscopic! In general, in this model, macroscopic decay lengths tiny λ Unobservable LFV processes. Future measurements of LFV processes at MEG and B factories will further test the model. This is linked to the search for electroweak scale right-handed neutrinos.

33 Conclusions A model with mirror fermions can lead to a scenario in which the right-handed neutrinos have electroweak scale masses. Lepton-number violating processes, such as like-sign dileptons, coming from electroweak scale SM non-singlet ν R s can now be accessible experimentally at colliders! LFV processes such as B(τ µ γ) and B(µ e γ) which are low energy processes are linked to high energy processes such

34 as the production of electroweak scale right-handed neutrinos and their detections through the decay lengths of charged mirror leptons. The scalar sector is much richer than that in the SM search for doubly-charged Higgs scalars e.g., etc..

35 Backup slides Actually, since v = v v2 M 246 GeV, this can have a quite interesting implication on the form of the quark mass matrices themselves since the top quark mass is 171 GeV and quarks couple only to the Higgs doublet. In fact, with v M > M Z /2 46 GeV, the scale that appears in front of the Up-quark mass matrix, namely g U v 2 / 2 is constrained such that, for g U O(1), v 2 / 2 < 147 GeV the mass matrix of the Up-quark sector might be of the almost democratic type for example. This also would imply that mirror fermions cannot be too heavy.

36 Some kind of see-saw among the charged leptons and their mirror counterparts as well as in the quark sector. However, the mass eigenvalues are, e.g. the charged leptons: m l = m l m l M = m l M m2 D m l M m l m l m2 D m l M m l m l M because m D m l M m l Practically impossible to detect SM and mirror mixing among the charged sectors. Last but not least: It is possible to avoid the imposition of the U(1) M global symmetry. The see-saw mechanism will look however very different from the above Interesting implications concerning the see-saw matrix Possibility of

37 dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking. Work in preparation. Triplet Higgs scalars: Doubly charged scalars in χ! χ can be produced at colliders. χ couples to W and Z and to right-handed neutrinos and mirror charged leptons which subsequently decay into SM leptons. ξ does not couple to fermions but to W and Z. Can look for them through W and Z.

38 Mirror fermions: The charged mirror fermions decay into SM charged fermions plus (missing energy) φ S. The decay length will depend primarily on the coupling g Sl! Singlet scalar φ S : φ S can be as light as few hundreds kev s. Possible cosmological and astrophysical implications? e.g. φ S +φ S l+ +l with a charged mirror lepton in the t-channel.
