Phenomenological implications of neutrino effective theories

Objective

There are few but strong indications that the Standard Model of Particle Physics cannot be the ultimate theory of nature. The increasing number of proposed extensions, together with the lack of new particles found by the LHC, is prompting us to consider the effective field theories (EFT) as the best framework to explore deviations from the Standard Model. Nevertheless, the most commonly explored EFT framework does not consider the existence of new light particles, such as those predicted by many theories trying to explain the origin of neutrino masses or dark matter, and therefore cannot account for two of the biggest unsolved problems in particle physics.

Considering the existence of new sterile neutrinos for definiteness, this project aims at building a new EFT framework where additional light particles are included to the commonly used EFT formalism. First, it will extend the few available works in the subject to construct a theoretically consistent framework. In the second part, it will make use of this formalism to identify and compute the most relevant predictions for the near-future experimental landscape.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Project’s keywords as indicated by the project coordinator. Not to be confused with the EuroSciVoc taxonomy (Fields of science)

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

UNIVERSIDAD AUTONOMA DE MADRID
Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
