Standard Model Anomalies: right-handed neutrinos

In summary, the conversation discusses the concept of the right-handed neutrino and its potential for providing more anomaly-free solutions than hypercharge for a U(1). The participants also mention a relevant article and ask for recommendations on a textbook about open problems in the Standard Model.

If we consider de right-handed neutrino there would be more anomaly-free solutions than hypercharge for a U(1)?

I am not suscribed :s

GIves you a starting point to search though.

B-L conservation?

Thank you.

If we would assign one hypercharge to a field that would determine the value of all others hypercharges? Are those predicted, also, by only one anomaly-free solution?

If you guys could tell me a good textbook about the open problems in SM I would be very grateful.
 

Related to Standard Model Anomalies: right-handed neutrinos

1. What are right-handed neutrinos?

Right-handed neutrinos are hypothetical particles that have been proposed as a solution to certain anomalies in the Standard Model of particle physics. They are the antiparticles of the left-handed neutrinos that are already included in the Standard Model.

2. What anomalies in the Standard Model do right-handed neutrinos address?

Right-handed neutrinos have been proposed as a potential explanation for the observed phenomenon of neutrino oscillations, which suggests that neutrinos have mass. They may also help to explain the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe and the existence of dark matter.

3. How do right-handed neutrinos interact with other particles?

Right-handed neutrinos are expected to interact very weakly with other particles, making them difficult to detect. They may interact through the weak nuclear force, but not through the strong nuclear force or electromagnetism.

4. Have right-handed neutrinos been observed?

No, right-handed neutrinos have not yet been observed. They are still a theoretical concept and have not been confirmed by any experiments. However, there are ongoing efforts to search for them using high-energy particle accelerators and other techniques.

5. What would the discovery of right-handed neutrinos mean for our understanding of the universe?

If right-handed neutrinos are discovered, it would be a groundbreaking discovery that could significantly impact our understanding of the universe. It could help to explain some of the mysteries of the Standard Model, such as the origin of neutrino mass and the nature of dark matter. It may also open up new avenues for research in particle physics and cosmology.
