abstract

We study lepton flavour universality violation in SM boson decays in low-scale seesaw models of neutrino mass generation, also addressing other electroweak precision observables. We compute the electroweak next-to-leading order corrections, which turn out to be important - notably in the case of the invisible decay width of the $Z$ boson, for which the corrections can be as large as the current experimental uncertainty. As a well-motivated illustrative study case, we choose a realisation of the Inverse Seesaw mechanism, and discuss the complementary role of lepton flavour conserving, lepton flavour violating and precision observables, both in constraining and in probing such models of neutrino mass generation. Our findings suggest that invisible $Z$ decays are especially important, potentially at the origin of the most stringent constraints for certain regimes of the Inverse Seesaw (while complying with charge lepton flavour violation and other electroweak precision tests). We also discuss the probing power of the considered observables in view of the expected improvement in experimental precision at FCC-ee.

  1. Taming flavour violation in the Inverse Seesaw

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    New eta-based parametrisations of the ISS(3,3) show that Z-penguin flavour violation can reveal non-degenerate heavy sterile mixing even when radiative decays are absent.

  2. Test of lepton flavour universality in $W$-boson decays into electrons and $\tau$-leptons using $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV with the ATLAS detector

    hep-ex 2024-12 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    ATLAS measures R_tau/e = 0.975 +/- 0.012 (stat) +/- 0.020 (syst) for W boson decays to tau versus electron, consistent with lepton flavour universality.

  3. High-energy cLFV at $\mu$TRISTAN: HNL extensions of the Standard Model

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In HNL extensions of the Standard Model, mu+e- collisions at muTRISTAN could discover e-tau and mu-tau charged lepton flavour violation with sensitivity orders of magnitude beyond low-energy experiments and FCC-ee.

  4. Flavour and precision probes of a class of scotogenic models

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Full next-to-leading-order corrections to leptonic Z and Higgs decays are derived for the T1-2-A scotogenic model, and the resulting cLFV and electroweak observables are scanned to identify future collider probes.
