    Impact of one loop corrections on light neutrino masses in the low scale susy seesaw
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2024-01-10) Suarez Navarro, Omar Giancarlo; Jones Perez, Joel
    This thesis covers the study of one-loop quantum corrections to the light neutrino masses. In the first part, we examine the extension of the standard model with right-handed neutrinos, where the Seesaw type I is present, allowing accessible masses for experimental searches. However, considering the corrections to the light neutrinos masses requires the pairs of heavy neutrinos to appear as pseudo Dirac particles, implying a suppression of the LNV parameters. In the second part, the supersymmetric contributions are analyzed in order to relax the lepton number violation (LNV) restrictions and achieve a greater difference between the heavy neutrino masses, as well as large mixings. When analyzing the destructive interference between the supersymmetric (which we describe as reducible and irreducible) and non-supersymmetric contributions, we found parameter regions where cancellations occur, however they are very small. So, the addition of SUSY does not guarantee the effect called screening, and the cases that are favorable need some degree of fine-tuning. In all cases, the numerical results of the analytical one-loop expressions calculated in the νRSM and νRMSSM models are checked with SPheno.

    From light neutrino decay phenomenology to muon neutrino cross-section measurement at MINERvA experiment
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2022-08-15) Ascencio Sosa, Marvin Vladimir; Gago Medina, Alberto Martín
    This thesis tackles two essential topics of neutrino physics: neutrino decay and neutrino cross-section measurement. First, the invisible and visible neutrino decay is analyzed through a phenomenological approach, considering future long-baseline neutrino experiments such as DUNE and a hypothetical neutrino beam toward the ANDES laboratory. The study takes into account the νμ and νe disappearance and appearance, respectively, for both FHC and RHC flux modes. The results showed a negligible matter effect for DUNE but significantly more notable at ANDES. At 90% C.L., the sensitivity to the decay parameter α3 can be as small as 2 × 10−6 eV2 for a chosen coupling. The impact of neutrino decay in the determination of θ23 and δCP were also shown. Second, the double-differential cross-section measurement for νμ-carbon interactions with three-momentum transfer |q| < 1.2 GeV obtained with medium energy exposures in the NuMI beam at MINERvA experiment are reported. The measurement is presented as a function of |q| and Eavail and reviews different interaction models and nuclear effects along quasi-elastic to resonance processes to define a new model for a better agreement. The double differential cross sections are compared to the MnvTunes, GENIE, and NuWro predictions.
