abstract

We propose a type II seesaw model for light Dirac neutrinos to provide an explanation for the recently reported anomaly in W boson mass by the CDF collaboration with $7\sigma$ statistical significance. In the minimal model, the required enhancement in W boson mass is obtained at tree level due to the vacuum expectation value of a real scalar triplet, which also plays a role in generating light Dirac neutrino mass. Depending upon the couplings and masses of newly introduced particles, we can have thermally or non-thermally generated relativistic degrees of freedom $\Delta N_{\rm eff}$ in the form of right handed neutrinos which can be observed at future cosmology experiments. Extending the model to a radiative Dirac seesaw scenario can also accommodate dark matter and lepton anomalous magnetic moment.

  1. Improved cosmological limits on $Z^\prime$ models with light right-handed neutrinos

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The ACT DR6 bound on extra radiation yields the strongest exclusion limits yet on U(1)_{B-L} Z' bosons coupled to light right-handed neutrinos, beating colliders across most of the mass range.

  2. $Z^\prime$ Portal Dark Matter with Observable $\Delta N_{\rm eff}$

    hep-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 5.5 of 10

    Dirac right-handed neutrinos in a U(1)_{B-L} Z' portal model produce observable ΔN_eff that, together with direct/indirect detection and collider bounds, carves out testable WIMP and FIMP dark-matter regions.

  3. Effective theory of light Dirac neutrino portal dark matter with observable ${\Delta N_{\rm eff}}$

    hep-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A dark matter candidate interacting only with right-handed neutrinos is shown to produce ΔNeff ≥ 0.21, testable by future CMB experiments.

  4. Type-II Seesaw Mechanism for Dirac Neutrinos and its Implications on $N_{\text{eff}}$ and Lepton Flavor Violation in a 3-3-1 model

    hep-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A scalar sextet generates eV-scale Dirac neutrino masses in a 3-3-1 model, and the associated right-handed neutrino population constrains the Z' boson mass to exceed 4.4 TeV.

  5. Minimal Dirac seesaw dark matter

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A Z4-symmetric Dirac seesaw makes the imaginary part of a seesaw scalar a stable dark matter candidate and links its phenomenology to gravitational wave and CMB observables.
