Conclusions
The SM, based on the gauge symmetry SU(3)C x SU(2)L x U(1)Y, is in excellent agreement with experimental results.
Three firm observational evidences of new physics beyond the Standard Model :
1. Neutrino Masses.
2. Dark Matter.
3. Baryon Asymmetry.
These three problems may be solved by introducing right-handed neutrinos.
The tremendous success of gauge symmetry in describing the SM indicates
that any extension of the SM should be through an extension of its gauge
symmetry.
Introduction
3
TeV Scale B-LThe minimal extension is based on the gauge group:
GB-L ≡ SU(3)C x SU(2)L x U(1)Y x U(1)B-L
This model can account for the light neutrino masses.
New particles are predicted:
− Three SM singlet fermions (right-handed neutrinos) (cancellation of gauge anomalies).
− Extra gauge boson corresponding to B−L gauge symmetry.
− Extra SM singlet scalar (heavy Higgs).
S.K. (2006)
These new particles have Interesting signatures at the LHC.

In case of g’’ ~ O(0.1) then MZB-L ~ O(600) GeV.

ZB-L Discovery at LHC (Cont.)
ZB −L boson can be discovered in the e+e− decay channel in the mass region 800<MZ < 1000 GeV with an integrated luminosity of 10 fb−1.
Emam, Mine (2008) & Moratti et al. (2009)
7
The lightest heavy neutrinos can be (pair) produced at LHC via Z’B-L exchange.
The main decay channel of R pairs is through two W bosons.
Signatures for R at the LHC
Integrated luminosity ~ 300 fb-1 gives 71 events for the right handed neutrino mass of 200 GeV while it gives 46 events for the right handed neutrino mass of 400 GeV.
S.K., Huitu, Okada, Rai (2008)
Possible clean signals, which would enable reconstruction of both the R and Z’B-L masses, are those involving:(i) Two pairs of charged leptons and missing
transverse energy. (ii) Three charged leptons, two jets and
missing transverse energy.

Higgs Production
The cross section of this process is proportional to the Higgs boson couplings to the heavy quark mass.
In B-L, the production cross section for the light Higgs state is reduced respect to the SM one by a factor ~ cos2.
Heavy Higgs production is suppressed by two effects: a small ~ sin2 and a large mH’ (compared to mH).
9
At the LHC, the dominant channel for Higgs boson production is due to gluon-gluon fusion.
10
Both Higgs particles tend to decay into the heaviest gauge bosons and fermions allowed by the phase space.
Branching Ratios of Light Higgs are very close to those of SM: Couplings are cancelled in the ratio.
In addition to SM-like decay channels, either or both Higgs bosons can decay in genuine B-L final states, like R and/or Z’B-L pairs, with sizable rates.
This opens up then the intriguing possibility of all the new states predicted by the B-L model being simultaneously detected at the LHC.

A type I seesaw can be obtained from :

TeV Scale B-L with Inverse Seesaw Mechanism
Type-I seesaw mechanism implies ~ 10-6 , which may be unnatural small.
A new modification for TeV scale B-L model, based on the inverse seesaw mechanism, has been recently proposed.
If U(1)B-L is spontaneously broken by a SM singlet scalar with B-L charge =+1.
SM singlet fermions S1 with B-L =+2 and S2 with B-L =-2 are introduced, an inverse seesaw mechanism may be implemented.
The Lagrangian of the leptonic sector in this model is given by
S.K. (2010)
13
After B-L and EW symmetry breaking, the neutrino Yukawa interaction terms lead to the following mass terms:
Lepton number is broken but a remnant symmetry: (-1)L+S is survived.
After (-1)L+S is broken at much lower scale, a mass term for S2 is generated.
Diagonalization
The 9x9 neutrino mass matrix takes the form:
Light neutrino mass ~ eV is obtained for a TeV scale MN, if S << MN. No restriction imposed on the mD.
14
The scale of B- L symmetry breaking is unknown, ranging from TeV to much higher scales (GUT or Planck NP).
In MSSM, the electroweak and SUSY breaking scale are nicely correlated through the mechanism of radiative breaking of the EW symmetry.
Radiative corrections may drive the squared Higgs mass from positive initial values at the GUT scale to negative values at the EW scale.
The size of the Higgs VEV responsible for the EW breaking is determined by the size of the top Yukawa coupling and of the soft SUSY breaking terms.
Analogously, in a SUSY B-L, it is possible to radiatively induce the breaking of B−L having the scale of such breaking directly linked to the soft SUSY breaking scale.
B-L Symmetry Breaking Scale

The RGE of relevant scalar masses are:
From MX to MW, m21 and m2
2 are renormalized differently.
At O(1) TeV, m21 becomes negative, the
minimization condition is satisfied & B-L gauge symmetry is broken.

The minimal SUSY version of B-L model has the following superpotential:

SUSY B-L with Inverse Seesaw

TSS )~,~( 11
In this mode, B-L is spontaneously broken by chiral singlet superfields 1 with a charge = +1 and 2 with −1.
Also three chiral singlet superfields S1 with charge +2 and three chiral singlet superfields S2 with charge −2 are considered to implement the inverse seesaw mechanism.
The superpotential of the leptonic sector of this model is
The relevant soft SUSY breaking terms, assuming the usual universality assumptions, are

If (12) and (23) elements vanish, the sneutrino masses are:
B-L Right-Handed Sneutrino
where
The sneutrino mass matrix is obtained from the scalar potential that contains sneutrino fields:
The sneutrino mass matrix can be written as a 3x3 matrix, with entries multiplied by the identity 2x2 matrix
18
(s)Neutrino Correction to Lightest Higgs In MSSM, the mass of the lightest Higgs at one loop is given by
This upper limit on the lightest Higgs boson mass barely consistent with experimental data.
The genuine B−L corrections to the lightest SM-like Higgs boson mass can be obtained from one-loop radiative corrections, due to the right-handed neutrinos and sneutrinos,
For stop mass of order TeV, this correction implies that

The one-loop correction in the effective potential is given by the relation:
where the supertrace is defined as follow:
ΔV, due to one generation of neutrinos and sneutrinos, is given by:
Substituting and differentiating gives

for MN ϵ[0.4, 2.5] TeV, Yν ϵ[0.1, √(4π)], and cos2θ = 0, lightest Higgs boson massas function of the lightest sneutrino mass is given as follow:
B-L (s)neutrino corrections lead to an absolute upper limit on it at around 180 GeV.
If the effect of three generations is considered the upper bound reaches 200 GeV.
21
Sneutrino Dark Matter in SUSY B-L
In SUSY B-L, the lightest sneutrino is given by (large tan β and small tan θ limits):
In the MSSM, the lightest neutralino is an attractive candidate for cold DM. The current experimental constraints: LHC limits, WMAP results and CDMS,
impose stringent limits on the lightest neutralino even if it consists of gaugino-Higgsino mixture.
The relevant interactions of the B−L right-handed sneutrino are:

Sneutrino Direct Detection The general form of the elastic scattering cross section between DM sneutrino &
nuclei N is given by
Where
Here M is the the nuclei mass, A and Z are the mass number and the atomic number. The effective Lagrangian parameters bu and bd are defined as
25
The elastic cross section is quite insensitive to the B−L sneutrino mass.
The limits from CDMS II and XENON experiments indicate to a lower-bound of order 3.7×10−44 cm2. Thus, our B−L sneutrino DM can be detected in near future.
The sneutrino effective interaction is
Thus, the elastic scattering cross section of B−L right-handed sneutrino is given by
The following upper bound on elastic cross section is obtained:
26
Sneutrino Indirect Detection
A huge, unexplained, boost factor must be introduced in order to account for Pamela results.
As a result, it is difficult for our B−L sneutrino to explain the controversial results of PAMELA experiment.
B−L sneutrino annihilates into ℓ+ℓ- channels,
However, these channels give sub-dominate contribution to the annihilation process.
Therefore, the corresponding annihilation cross section is < 10−27 cm3s−1.
27
Summary The SM gauge group can be minimally extended by adding U(1)B−L
B-L extension contains (at least) three right handed neutrinos, extra gauge boson, and extra scalar Higgs. Promising signatures at LHC.
SUSY B-L is just as exciting: It incorporates well known benefits of SUSY models (gauge coupling
unification, solution to the hierarchy problem). It alleviates well known flaws of more minimal SUSY realizations (such an
upper limit on the lightest Higgs boson mass barely consistent with experimental data).
The right-handed sneutrino in the SUSY B-L model with inverse seesaw mechanism is also a viable candidate for cold DM.
Like its SM counterpart, right-handed sneutrino can be a long-lived particle and be pair produced at the LHC through ZB-L. Then, it decays into same-sign di-leptons, with a total cross section of order O(1) pb.
This signal is a striking sparticle signature of the SUSY B-L gauged model.
