abstract

To explain the dark matter and the baryon asymmetry of the Universe, the parameters of the $\nu$MSM (an extension of the Minimal Standard Model by three singlet neutrinos with masses smaller than the electroweak scale) must be fine-tuned: one of the masses should be in the ${\cal O} (10)$ keV region to provide a candidate for the dark-matter particle, while two other masses must be almost the same to enhance the CP-violating effects in the sterile neutrino oscillations leading to the baryon asymmetry. We show that a specifically defined global lepton-number symmetry, broken on the level of ${\cal O} (10^{-4})$ leads to the required pattern of sterile neutrino masses being consistent with the data on neutrino oscillations. Moreover, the existence of this symmetry allows to fix the flavour structure of couplings of singlet fermions to the particles of the Standard Model and indicates that their masses are likely to be smaller than ${\cal O} (1)$ GeV, opening a possibility of their search in decays of charmed, beauty and even $K$ or $\pi$-mesons.

  1. Dirac-Phase CP-Violation in the Low-Scale Type-I Seesaw with Three Right-Handed Neutrinos

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Restricting CP violation in the low-scale type-I seesaw with three right-handed neutrinos to the Dirac phase δ alone yields specific testable subregions of heavy-neutrino flavor mixings and permits low-scale leptogene...

  2. Constraining Heavy Neutral Leptons Coupled to the Tau-Neutrino Flavor at the Large Hadron Collider

    hep-ph 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    DV searches with no prompt-lepton tag can probe HNLs with dominant tau-neutrino mixing at the LHC, improving existing bounds by more than an order of magnitude at Run 2 luminosity.

  3. The mass-coupling effect in leptogenesis

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In weak-washout heavy-particle decay leptogenesis, the lepton asymmetry is approximately independent of the decaying particle mass and the couplings of thermalized decay products, because the nonthermal distribution s...

  4. Detector performance at SHiP for cascade-produced long-lived particles

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Cascade LLPs in SHiP suffer strong acceptance suppression, yielding at most moderate enhancement over primary production for light ALPs and subdominant contribution for HNLs from secondary kaons.

  5. Probing Dynamical Inverse Seesaw with Low-frequency Gravitational Waves

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Dynamical inverse seesaw predicts low-frequency stochastic GW signals from a first-order phase transition, with complementarity to heavy neutral lepton searches at small active-sterile mixing.

    hep-ex 2025-08 accept novelty 4.0 of 10

    The ATLAS search finds no evidence of heavy neutral leptons in W boson decays and sets the strongest limits to date on their mixing with electron and muon neutrinos in the 15-30 GeV mass range.
