We develop a minimal left-right symmetric model based on the gauge group $SU(3)_C otimes SU(2)_L otimes SU(2)_R otimes U(1)_{B-L}$ wherein the Higgs triplets conventionally employed for symmetry breaking are replaced by Higgs doublets. Majorana masses for the right-handed neutrinos $( u_R$) are induced via two-loop diagrams involving a charged scalar field $eta^+$. This setup is shown to provide excellent fits to neutrino oscillation data via the seesaw mechanism for the entire range of the $W_R^pm$ mass, from TeV to the GUT scale. When the $W_R^pm$ mass is at the TeV scale, the $ u_R$ masses turn out to be in the MeV range. We analyze constraints from low energy experiments, early universe cosmology and from supernova 1987a on such a scenario and show its consistency. We also study collider implications of a relatively light $eta^+$ scalar through its decay into multi-lepton final states and derive a lower limit of 390 GeV on its mass from the LHC, which can be improved to 555 GeV in its high luminosity run.
We present twin Higgs models based on the extension of the Standard Model to left-right symmetry that protect the weak scale against radiative corrections up to scales of order 5 TeV. In the ultra-violet the Higgs sector of these theories respects an approximate global symmetry, in addition to the discrete parity symmetry characteristic of left-right symmetric models. The Standard Model Higgs field emerges as the pseudo-Goldstone boson associated with the breaking of the global symmetry. The parity symmetry tightly constrains the form of radiative corrections to the Higgs potential, allowing natural electroweak breaking. The minimal model predicts a rich spectrum of exotic particles that will be accessible to upcoming experiments, and which are necessary for the cancellation of one-loop quadratic divergences. These include right-handed gauge bosons with masses not to exceed a few TeV and a pair of vector-like quarks with masses of order several hundred GeV.
We present a minimal left-right symmetric flavor model and analyze the predictions for the neutrino sector. In this scenario, the Yukawa sector is shaped by the dihedral $D_4$ symmetry which leads to correlations for the neutrino mixing parameters. We end up with four possible solutions within this model. We further analyzed the impact of the upcoming long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment DUNE. Due to its high sensitivity, DUNE will be able to rule out two of the solutions. Finally, the prediction for the neutrinoless double beta decay for the model has also been examined.
We present an implementation of the manifest left-right symmetric model in FeynRules. The different aspects of the model are briefly described alongside the corresponding elements of the model file. The model file is validated and can be easily translated to matrix element generators such as MadGraph5_aMC@NLO, CalcHEP, Sherpa, etc. The implementation of the left-right symmetric model is a useful step for studying new physics signals with the data generated at the LHC.
We derive analytic necessary and sufficient conditions for the vacuum stability of the left-right symmetric model by using the concepts of copositivity and gauge orbit spaces. We also derive the conditions sufficient for successful symmetry breaking and the existence of a correct vacuum. We then compare results obtained from the derived conditions with those from numerical minimization of the scalar potential. Finally, we discuss the renormalization group analysis of the scalar quartic couplings through an example study that satisfies vacuum stability, perturbativity, unitarity and experimental bounds on the physical scalar masses.
The left-right twin Higgs model predicts one neutral Higgs boson $phi_{0}$ and it acquires mass $m_{phi_{0}}sim mu_{r}$ with the $mu$ term, which can be lighter than half the SM-like Higgs boson mass in a portion of parameter space. Thus, the SM-like Higgs boson $h$ can dominantly decay into a pair of light neutral Higgs bosons especially when $m_{h}$ is below the $WW$ threshold. First, we examine the branching ratios of the SM-like Higgs boson decays and find that the new decay mode $hrightarrow phi_{0}phi_{0}$ is dominant for the case of $m_{h}>2m_{phi_{0}}$. Then we study the production via gluon fusion followed by the decay into two photons or two weak gauge bosons and found that the production rate can be significantly suppressed for some part of parameter space. Finally, we comparatively study the process $gammagammarightarrow h rightarrow bbar{b}$ at ILC in the cases of $m_{h}>2m_{phi_{0}}$ and $m_{h}<2m_{phi_{0}}$, respectively. We find that these predictions can significantly deviated from the SM predictions, e.g., the gluon-gluon fusion channel, in the cases of $m_{h}>2m_{phi_{0}}$ and $m_{h}<2m_{phi_{0}}$, can be suppressed by about 80% and 45%, respectively. Therefor, it is possible to probe the left-right twin Higgs model via these Higgs boson production processes at the LHC experiment or in the future ILC experiment.
