The abstract, sentence by sentence

arXiv listing abstract v1. Results and the main claim are underlined; show every role.

A preliminary analysis of zero hadronic energy dimuon production in the NuTeV experiment is presented (nu_mu (anti-nu_mu) + N -> nu_mu(anti-nu_mu) + mu^+ + mu^- + N). The data show a signal in excess of background which is attributed to neutrino trident production. This excess is consistent with the Standard Model prediction including electroweak interference. Other sources of low-hadronic energy dimuon events are also considered.

The data show a signal in excess of background which is attributed to neutrino trident production. This excess is consistent with the Standard Model prediction including electroweak interference. Other sources of low-hadronic energy dimuon events are also considered.

A global fit to leptophilic Z' couplings using lepton precision observables bounds electron couplings below roughly 0.2 and shows that muon-tau flavour-changing couplings alone can accommodate both the muon g-2 anomal...
Dressing L_mu - L_tau in Color
hep-ph 2014-03 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

A Z' boson coupled to muon-minus-tau number and to quarks can fit the LHCb B to K* mu mu anomaly, but neutrino trident data rule out the same model as an explanation of (g-2)_mu.
Scalar Non-Standard Interactions in Neutrino Oscillation
hep-ph 2018-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

A scalar-mediated matter effect enters neutrino oscillation as an energy-independent shift of the mass matrix, and a naive three-point Borexino fit prefers a nonzero electron-flavor coupling of about -0.16.
