AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
We consider an extension of the standard model by right-handed neutrinos and we argue that, under plausible assumptions, a neutrino mass of O(0.1) eV is naturally generated by the breaking of the lepton number at the Planck scale, possibly by gravitational effects, without the necessity of introducing new mass scales in the model. Some implications of this framework are also briefly discussed.

Fast Flavor Conversions at the Edge of Instability in a Two-Beam Model.
Phys Rev Lett
November 2024
Max-Planck-Institut für Physik (Werner-Heisenberg-Institut), Boltzmannstr. 8, 85748 Garching, Germany.
A dense neutrino gas exhibiting angular crossings in the electron lepton number is unstable and develops fast flavor conversions. Instead of assuming an unstable configuration from the onset, we imagine that the system is externally driven toward instability. We use the simplest model of two neutrino beams initially of different flavor that either suddenly appear or one or both slowly build up.

I review possible signals at hadron colliders of bileptons, namely doubly charged vectors or scalars with lepton number L=±2, as predicted by a 331 model, based on a SU(3)c×SU(3)L×U(1)X symmetry. In particular, I account for a version of the 331 model wherein the embedding of the hypercharge is obtained with the addition of three exotic quarks and vector bileptons. Furthermore, a sextet of SU(3)L, necessary to provide masses to leptons, yields an extra scalar sector, including a doubly charged Higgs, i.

The Domany-Kinzel (DK) model encompasses several types of nonequilibrium phase transitions, depending on the selected parameters. We apply supervised, semisupervised, and unsupervised learning methods to studying the phase transitions and critical behaviors of the (1+1)-dimensional DK model. The supervised and the semisupervised learning methods permit the estimations of the critical points, the spatial and temporal correlation exponents, concerning labeled and unlabeled DK configurations, respectively.

CERN, Geneva, Switzerland.
The production of a pair of τ leptons via photon-photon fusion,γγ→ττ, is observed for the first time in proton-proton collisions, with a significance of 5.3 standard deviations. This observation is based on a data set recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb.

Phys Rev Lett

Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, DC 20375, USA.
Efficient helicity transfer from Poincaré fields to electrons of hydrogenic ions is revealed for the first time by four-dimensional relativistic simulations. The magnetic multipole class of Poincaré fields is chosen due to its fundamental role in light-matter spin coupling, and the calculation is demonstrated for Ne^{9+} ion irradiated by single and multimode x-ray pulses. Photoelectrons of both helicities emerge synchronously from the ion ensemble, and their directionality is controllable through the radiation mode numbers.
