Phenomenology of the minimal B-L extension of the Standard model: Z' and neutrinos
read the original abstract
We present the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) discovery potential in the $Z'$ and heavy neutrino sectors of a $U(1)_{B-L}$ enlarged Standard Model also encompassing three heavy Majorana neutrinos. This model exhibits novel signatures at the LHC, the most interesting arising from a $Z'$ decay chain involving heavy neutrinos, eventually decaying into leptons and jets. In particular, this signature allows one to measure the $Z'$ and heavy neutrino masses involved. In addition, over a large region of parameter space, the heavy neutrinos are rather long-lived particles producing distinctive displaced vertices that can be seen in the detectors. Lastly, the simultaneous measurement of both the heavy neutrino mass and decay length enables an estimate of the absolute mass of the parent light neutrino.

On Exclusive Coherent Production of Bosons in Electron-Proton Collisions
A phenomenological 2-to-3 framework is constructed for exclusive boson electroproduction that matches flux-factorized predictions near Q^{2}=0 while capturing finite-Q^{2} effects at larger virtualities.

Mono-Z' Signatures in the B-L Supersymmetric Standard Model at the LHC
Mono-Z' events from Z' plus singlet Higgs production in the BLSSM-IS, with h' decaying to LSP dark matter pairs, yield a detectable leptonic signal independent of the specific DM candidate.

Non-Standard Neutrino Interactions at Neutrino Experiments and Colliders
Collider searches are generally more constraining than neutrino measurements on simplified models of non-standard neutrino interactions, except possibly for muon-philic leptoquarks and certain heavy neutral leptons.
