Kevin Hinze, Shaikh Saad

AI总结:

本研究提出基于SU(5)规范群的统一理论,通过标量轻夸克双圈产生中微子质量,该模型可实现规范耦合统一,预言TeV量级新物理态及可观测轻子味破坏速率,兼具简洁性与预测能力。

摘要:

标量轻夸克(leptoquark)天然存在于统一理论中,为解决标准模型最重大的挑战之一——中微子非零质量的存在——提供了一条颇具前景的途径。本研究提出了一种基于SU(5)规范群的统一理论,其中中微子质量通过标量轻夸克的传播在双圈层级产生。得益于该统一框架,带电费米子与中微子的质量及混合相互关联,并由一组共同的汤川耦合(Yukawa coupling)决定。这些奇异粒子不仅能阐释中微子质量的产生机制,还有助于实现规范耦合的统一,且预计会产生显著的轻子味破坏(lepton flavor violating)速率,为实验验证提供了切实可行的契机。要重现观测到的中微子质量标度,需要一组轻夸克的质量比统一标度低几个数量级——这是本方案的一个特有特征。此外,最大化统一标度意味着新物理态处于TeV量级,使其可在对撞机上被探测到。轻夸克发挥的多重作用凸显了所提出的统一模型的简洁性与预测能力。

英文摘要:

Scalar leptoquarks naturally arise within unified theories, offering a promising avenue for addressing one of the most significant challenges of the Standard Model--the existence of non-zero neutrino masses. In this work, we present a unified theory based on the SU(5) gauge group, where neutrino mass appears at the two-loop level via the propagation of scalar leptoquarks. Due to the unified framework, the charged fermion and neutrino masses and mixings are entangled and determined by a common set of Yukawa couplings. These exotic particles not only shed light on the neutrino mass generation mechanism but also help to achieve the unification of gauge couplings and are expected to lead to substantial lepton flavor violating rates, offering tangible opportunities for experimental verification. Reproducing the observed neutrino mass scale necessitates that a set of leptoquarks reside a few orders of magnitude below the unification scale--a specific feature of the proposed scenario. Moreover, maximizing the unification scale implies TeV scale new physics states, making them accessible at colliders. The diverse roles that leptoquarks play highlight the elegance and predictive ability of the proposed unified model.
