Dark neutrinos and a three-portal connection to the standard model (2020)
Journal Article
Ballett, P., Hostert, M., & Pascoli, S. (2020). Dark neutrinos and a three-portal connection to the standard model. Physical Review D, 101(11), Article 115025. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.101.115025

We introduce a dark neutrino sector which respects a hidden Uð1Þ0 gauge symmetry, subsequently broken by the vacuum expectation value of a dark scalar. The model is a self-consistent realization of an extended hidden sector that communicates with the... Read More about Dark neutrinos and a three-portal connection to the standard model.

Testing New Physics Explanations of the MiniBooNE Anomaly at Neutrino Scattering Experiments (2019)
Journal Article
Argüelles, C. A., Hostert, M., & Tsai, Y. (2019). Testing New Physics Explanations of the MiniBooNE Anomaly at Neutrino Scattering Experiments. Physical Review Letters, 123(26), Article 261801. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevlett.123.261801

Heavy neutrinos with additional interactions have recently been proposed as an explanation to the MiniBooNE excess. These scenarios often rely on marginally boosted particles to explain the excess angular spectrum, thus predicting large rates at high...

Z's in neutrino scattering at DUNE (2019)
Journal Article
Ballett, P., Hostert, M., Pascoli, S., Perez-Gonzalez, Y. F., Tabrizi, Z., & Funchal, R. Z. (2019). Z's in neutrino scattering at DUNE. Physical Review D, 100(5), Article 055012. https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.100.055012

Novel leptophilic neutral currents can be tested at upcoming neutrino oscillation experiments using two complementary processes, neutrino trident production and neutrino-electron (ν − e) elastic scattering. Considering generic anomaly-free Uð1Þ exten... Read More about Z's in neutrino scattering at DUNE.

Neutrino masses from a dark neutrino sector below the electroweak scale (2019)
Journal Article
Ballett, P., Hostert, M., & Pascoli, S. (2019). Neutrino masses from a dark neutrino sector below the electroweak scale. Physical Review D, 99(9), Article 091701(R). https://doi.org/10.1103/physrevd.99.091701

We consider a minimal extension of the Standard Model which advocates a dark neutrino sector charged under a hidden U(1)′. We show that neutrino masses can arise radiatively in this model. The observed values are compatible with a light dark sector b... Read More about Neutrino masses from a dark neutrino sector below the electroweak scale.

Neutrino trident scattering at near detectors (2019)
Journal Article
Ballett, P., Hostert, M., Pascoli, S., Perez-Gonzalez, Y. F., Tabrizi, Z., & Funchal, R. Z. (2019). Neutrino trident scattering at near detectors. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019(1), Article 119. https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep01%282019%29119

Neutrino trident scattering is a rare Standard Model process where a charged-lepton pair is produced in neutrino-nucleus scattering. To date, only the dimuon final-state has been observed, with around 100 total events, while the other channels are as... Read More about Neutrino trident scattering at near detectors.
