A new, indirect detection method of neutrino pairs $ ubar{ u}$ using magnetization generated at triggered radiative emission of neutrino pair (RENP), $ |e rangle rightarrow | g rangle + gamma + u bar{ u} $ (atomic de-transition from state $|e rangle $ to state $|g rangle$ accompanied by a photon $gamma$), is investigated in order to determine unknown neutrino properties; Majorana/Dirac distinction and absolute neutrino masses. Magnetization associated with RENP events has parity violating component intrinsic to weak interaction enforced by crystal field effect in solids, and greatly helps background rejection of quantum electrodynamic (QED) origin even when these backgrounds are amplified. In proposed experiment we prepare a coherently excited body of trivalent lanthanoid ions, Er$^{3+}$ (a best candidate ion so far found), doped in a transparent dielectric crystal. The magnetic moment $mu langle vec{S}cdotvec{k} rangle/k $ arising from generated electron spin $vec{S}$ parallel to trigger photon direction $vec{k}/k$ is parity odd, and is absent in QED processes. The generated magnetic field of order nano gauss or larger is stored in crystals long after pair emission event till spin relaxation time. An improved calculation method of coherent rate and angular distribution of magnetization is developed in order to incorporate finite size effect of crystal target beyond the infinite size limit in previous calculations.

Electron spin flip in atoms or ions can cause neutrino pair emission, which provides a method to explore still unknown important neutrino properties by measuring spectrum of emitted photon in association, when electroweak rates are amplified by a phase coherence among participating atoms. Two important remaining neutrino issues to be determined are the absolute neutrino mass (or the smallest neutrino mass in the three-flavor scheme) and the nature of neutrino masses, either of Dirac type or of Majorana type. Use of Raman scattered photon was recently proposed as a promising tool for this purpose. In the present work we continue along this line to further identify promising ion targets in crystals, calculate neutrino pair emission rates, and study how to extract neutrino properties from Raman scattered photon angular distribution. Divalent lanthanoid ions in crystals, in particular Sm$^{2+}$, are the most promising, due to (1) its large number density, (2) sharp optical lines, (3) a variety of available ionic levels. Rejection of amplified quantum electrodynamic backgrounds is made possible to controllable levels by choosing a range of Raman trigger direction, when Sm$^{2+}$ sites are at O$_h$ inversion center of host crystals such as SrF$_2$.
R-parity violating supersymmetric models (RPV SUSY) are becoming increasingly more appealing than its R-parity conserving counterpart in view of the hitherto non-observation of SUSY signals at the LHC. In this talk, RPV scenarios where neutrino masses are naturally generated are discussed, namely RPV through bilinear terms (bRPV) and the mu from nu supersymmetric standard model. The latter is characterised by a rich Higgs sector that easily accommodates a 125-GeV Higgs boson. The phenomenology of such models at the LHC is reviewed, giving emphasis on final states with displaced objects, and relevant results obtained by LHC experiments are presented. The implications for dark matter for these theoretical proposals is also addressed.
We propose neutrino mass spectroscopy using Er$^{3+}$:Cs$_2$NaYF$_6$ or :Y$_2$O$_3$ crystal placed in hollow of a Bragg fiber as a target system. Unknown neutrino parameters and properties such as the lightest neutrino mass, Majorana/Dirac distinction, and CP violating phases can be explored by measuring scattered photons ($gamma$) along the excitation (and fiber) axis by varying Raman trigger ($gamma_0$) directions, in Er$^{3+}$ de-excitation process from $|erangle $ state to $|grangle $ state; $|erangle ,, | erangle + gamma_0 rightarrow | grangle + gamma + u_ibar{ u}_j$, $ u_i,, i = 1, 2,3$ being a mass-resolved neutrino state. Rates and required level of QED background rejection are calculated using measured data of the target system.
A new scheme using macroscopic coherence is proposed from a theoretical point to experimentally determine the neutrino mass matrix, in particular the absolute value of neutrino masses, and the mass type, Majorana or Dirac. The proposed process is a collective, coherent Raman scattering followed by neutrino-pair emission from an excited state $|erangle$ of a long lifetime to a lower energy state $|grangle$; $gamma_0 + | erangle rightarrow gamma + sum_{ij} u_i bar{ u_j} + | grangle $ with $ u_i bar{ u_j}$ consisting of six massive neutrino-pairs. Calculated angular distribution has six $(ij)$ thresholds of massive neutrino-pair emission which show up as steps at different angles in the distribution. Angular locations of thresholds and event rates of the angular distribution make it possible to experimentally determine the smallest neutrino mass to the level of less than 1 meV (accordingly all three masses using neutrino oscillation data) , the mass ordering pattern , normal or inverted, and to distinguish whether neutrinos are of Majorana or Dirac type. Event rates of neutrino-pair emission, when the mechanism of macroscopic coherence amplification works, may become large enough for realistic experiments by carefully selecting certain types of target atoms or ions doped in crystals. The problem to be overcome is macro-coherently amplified quantum electrodynamic background of the process, $gamma_0 + | erangle rightarrow gamma +gamma_2 + gamma_3+ | grangle $, when two extra photons, $gamma_2,, gamma_3$, escape detection. We illustrate our idea using neutral Xe and trivalent Ho ion doped in dielectric crystals.
A new scheme to determine the neutrino mass matrix is proposed using atomic de-excitation between two states of a few eV energy spacing. The determination of the smallest neutrino mass of the order of 1 meV and neutrino mass type, Majorana or Dirac, becomes possible, if one can coherently excite more than 1 gram of atoms using two lasers.
