- Ultralight bosons for strong gravity applications from simple Standard Model extensionsPublication . Freitas, Felipe F.; Herdeiro, Carlos A. R.; Morais, António P.; Onofre, Antonio; Pasechnik, Roman; Radu, Eugen; Sanchis-Gual, Nicolas; Santos, RuiWe construct families, and concrete examples, of simple extensions of the Standard Model that can yield ultralight real or complex vectors or scalars with potential astrophysical relevance. Specifically, the mass range for these putative fundamental bosons (∼ 10−10 − 10−20 eV) would lead dynamically to both new non-black hole compact objects (bosonic stars) and new non-Kerr black holes, with masses of ∼ M to ∼ 1010M, corresponding to the mass range of astrophysical black hole candidates (from stellar mass to supermassive). For each model, we study the properties of the mass spectrum and interactions after spontaneous symmetry breaking, discuss its theoretical viability and caveats, as well as some of its potential and most relevant phenomenological implications linking them to the physics of compact objects.
- Phenomenology of a flavored multiscalar Branco-Grimus-Lavoura-like model with three generations of massive neutrinosPublication . Ferreira, Pedro Miguel; Freitas, Felipe F.; Pino Gonçalves, João; Morais, António P.; Pasechnik, Roman; Vatellis, VasileiosIn this paper, we present several possible anomaly free implementations of the Branco-Grimus-Lavoura (BGL) model with two Higgs doublets and one singlet scalar. The model also includes three generations of massive neutrinos that get their mass via a type-I seesaw mechanism. A particular anomaly free realization, which we dub νBGL-1 scenario, is subjected to an extensive phenomenological analysis, from the perspective of flavor physics and collider phenomenology.
