The gauge invariance of the muonium-antimuonium ($Mbar{M}$) oscillation time scale is explicitly demonstrated in the Standard Model modified only by the inclusion of singlet right-handed neutrinos and allowing for general renormalizable interactions. The see-saw mechanism is exploited resulting in three light Majorana neutrinos and three heavy Majorana neutrinos with mass scale $M_Rgg M_W$. The leading order matrix element contribution to the $Mbar{M}$ oscillation process is computed in $R_xi$ gauge and shown to be $xi$ independent thereby establishing the gauge invariance to this order. Present experimental limits resulting from the non-observation of the oscillation process sets a lower limit on $M_R$ roughly of order 600 GeV.

The electron and muon number violating muonium-antimuonium oscillation process in an extended Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model is investigated. The Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model is modified by the inclusion of three right-handed neutrino superfields. While the model allows the neutrino mass terms to mix among the different generations, the sneutrino and slepton mass terms have only intra-generation lepton number violation but not inter-generation lepton number mixing. So doing, the muonium-antimuonium conversion can then be used to constrain those model parameters which avoid further constraint from the $muto egamma$ decay bounds. For a wide range of parameter values, the contributions to the muonium-antimuonium oscillation time scale are at least two orders of magnitude below the sensivity of current experiments. However, if the ratio of the two Higgs field VEVs, $tanbeta$, is very small, there is a limited possibility that the contributions are large enough for the present experimental limit to provide an inequality relating $tanbeta$ with the light neutrino mass scale $m_ u$ which is generated by see-saw mechanism. The resultant lower bound on $tanbeta$ as a function of $m_ u$ is more stringent than the analogous bounds arising from the muon and electron anomalous magnetic moments as computed using this model.
We consider an extension of the standard electroweak model with three Higgs doublets and global $B-L$ and $mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetries. Two of the scalar doublets are inert due to the $mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry. We calculated all the mass spectra in the scalar and lepton sectors and accommodate the leptonic mixing matrix as well. We also include an analysis of the scalar sector, showing that the potential is limited from below, and we obtain the masses of the scalar sector. Furthermore we consider the effects of the model on the anaomalous magnetic dipole of charged leptons and the $muto egamma$ decay. We also present the SUSY version of the model with global $B-L$.
We propose a model with the left-handed and right-handed continuous Abelian gauge symmetry; $U(1)_Ltimes U(1)_R$. Then three right-handed neutrinos are naturally required to achieve $U(1)_R$ anomaly cancellations, while several mirror fermions are also needed to do $U(1)_L$ anomaly cancellations. Then we formulate the model, and discuss its testability of the new gauge interactions at collider physics such as the large hadron collider (LHC) and the international linear collider (ILC). In particular, we can investigate chiral structure of the interactions by the analysis of forward-backward asymmetry based on polarized beam at the ILC.
We point out that the recent excess observed in searches for a right-handed gauge boson W_R at CMS can be explained in a left-right symmetric model with D parity violation. In a class of SO(10) models, in which D parity is broken at a high scale, the left-right gauge symmetry breaking scale is naturally small, and at a few TeV the gauge coupling constants satisfy g_R ~ 0.6 g_L. Such models therefore predict a right-handed charged gauge boson W_R in the TeV range with a suppressed gauge coupling as compared to the usually assumed manifest left-right symmetry case g_R = g_L. The recent CMS data show excess events which are consistent with the cross section predicted in the D parity breaking model for 1.9 TeV < M_{W_R} < 2.4 TeV. If the excess is confirmed, it would in general be a direct signal of new physics beyond the Standard Model at the LHC. A TeV scale W_R would for example not only rule out SU(5) grand unified theory models. It would also imply B-L violation at the TeV scale, which would be the first evidence for baryon or lepton number violation in nature and it has strong implications on the generation of neutrino masses and the baryon asymmetry in the Universe.
In a supersymmetric model, the presence of a right handed neutrino with a large Yukawa coupling $f_{ u}$ would affect slepton masses via its contribution to the renormalization group evolution between the grand unification and weak scales. Assuming a hierarchichal pattern of neutrino masses, these effects are large for only the third generation of sleptons. We construct mass combinations to isolate the effect of $f_{ u}$ from mass corrections already expected from tau Yukawa couplings. We then analyze the size of these effects, assuming that the Super-Kamiokande data constrain 0.033 eV $alt m_{ u_{tau}} alt 0.1$ eV and that neutrino masses arise via a see-saw mechanism. We also explore whether these effects might be detectable in experiments at future $e^+e^-$ linear colliders. We find that $m_{tnu_{tau}}$ needs to be measured with a precision of about 2-3% to measure the effect of $f_{ u}$ if the neutrino and top Yukawa couplings unify at the grand unification scale. In a simple case study, we find a precision of only 6-10% might be attainable after several years of operation. If the neutrino Yukawa coupling is larger, or in more complicated models of neutrino masses, a determination of $ttau_1$ and $tnu_{tau}$ masses might provide a signal of a Yukawa interaction of neutrinos.
