In the minimal B-L gauge extension, Majorana neutrinos at high breaking scale produce flat GW spectra from cosmic strings, Dirac at low scale produce peaked spectra from first-order phase transitions, and pseudo-Dirac produce kink features from domain wall annihilation.

abstract
Many studies have been made on extensions of the standard model with $B-L$ gauge symmetry. The addition of three singlet (right-handed) neutrinos renders it anomaly-free. It has always been assumed that the spontaneous breaking of $B-L$ is accomplished by a singlet scalar field carrying two units of $B-L$ charge. This results in a very natural implementation of the Majorana seesaw mechanism for neutrinos. However, there exists in fact another simple anomaly-free solution which allows Dirac or inverse seesaw neutrino masses. We show for the first time these new possibilities and discuss an application to neutrino mixing with $S_3$ flavour symmetry.

A chiral flavor-specific U(1)_X model with two Higgs doublets accommodates the ATOMKI 17 MeV anomaly via a Z' boson whose parameter space remains consistent with atomic parity violation, beam dump, meson decay, and neutrino scattering bounds.

Gravitational Wave Signature and the Nature of Neutrino Masses: Majorana, Dirac, or Pseudo-Dirac?
In the minimal B-L gauge extension, Majorana neutrinos at high breaking scale produce flat GW spectra from cosmic strings, Dirac at low scale produce peaked spectra from first-order phase transitions, and pseudo-Dirac produce kink features from domain wall annihilation.

A Flavor Specific Chiral $U(1)_X$ Framework for Explaining the ATOMKI Anomaly
A chiral flavor-specific U(1)_X model with two Higgs doublets accommodates the ATOMKI 17 MeV anomaly via a Z' boson whose parameter space remains consistent with atomic parity violation, beam dump, meson decay, and neutrino scattering bounds.
