Standard Model with right-handed neutrinos

In summary, the inclusion of right-handed neutrinos in the Standard Model is the simplest extension, but their PR coefficients must be determined through experimentation or theoretical calculations. The mass of neutrinos in this model is still an open question, and the Lagrangian interactions with the W and Z bosons will depend on the specific implementation of the right-handed neutrinos. There are many different models that include right-handed neutrinos and have been studied extensively in the past.

Hey, I would like to ask you: I need have Standard Model with right-handed neutrinos. This is the simplest extension of SM which contains the Dirac and Majorana neutrinos.
PR (right projection operator) coefficients should be nonzero. Is that enough? But what is their value? In the SM for the neutrinos interaction with the Z boson, the coefficients are respectively 1 / 2 and 0.
Do neutrinos further in this model are massless? What is the Lagrangian interaction with W and Z? Is there any name of this model? Are any papers about this model?

thanks for your reply:)

Hello,

Thank you for your question. The inclusion of right-handed neutrinos in the Standard Model is indeed the simplest extension to the model. The coefficients for the right projection operator (PR) are not specified in the Standard Model and can vary depending on the specific model being studied. Therefore, it is not enough to just include the PR coefficients, as their values must be determined through experimentation or theoretical calculations.

In terms of mass, the inclusion of right-handed neutrinos does not necessarily mean that all neutrinos in the model will be massless. The mass of neutrinos is still an open question in particle physics and is an active area of research. The specific model you are referring to may have a mechanism for generating neutrino masses, but without more information, it is difficult to say for sure.

The Lagrangian interaction with the W and Z bosons in this model will also depend on the specific implementation of the right-handed neutrinos. Again, without more information, it is difficult to give a definitive answer. However, in general, the interaction between the neutrinos and the W and Z bosons in the Standard Model is described by the weak interaction Lagrangian.

There are many different models that include right-handed neutrinos, so there is not one specific name for this model. It is important to note that the inclusion of right-handed neutrinos is not a new idea and has been studied extensively in the past. There are many papers and studies on this topic, so I would recommend doing some research and reading up on the various models and their predictions.

I hope this helps answer your questions. Best of luck with your research!
 

What is the Standard Model with right-handed neutrinos?

The Standard Model with right-handed neutrinos is an extension of the Standard Model of particle physics that includes the existence of right-handed neutrinos, in addition to the left-handed neutrinos already present in the model. This extension is proposed to explain the observed phenomenon of neutrino oscillation, in which neutrinos change from one type to another as they travel through space.

What is the role of right-handed neutrinos in the Standard Model?

The right-handed neutrinos in the Standard Model are proposed to have a mass and interact with other particles through the Higgs mechanism. This means that they can provide a mechanism for the observed neutrino oscillation, as well as potentially explaining the existence of dark matter and the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe.

What evidence supports the existence of right-handed neutrinos?

Although there is currently no direct evidence for the existence of right-handed neutrinos, the Standard Model with right-handed neutrinos has been able to successfully explain the observed phenomenon of neutrino oscillation. In addition, other extensions to the Standard Model, such as supersymmetry, also predict the existence of right-handed neutrinos.

Can right-handed neutrinos be detected in experiments?

Right-handed neutrinos are difficult to detect due to their weak interactions with other particles. However, there are ongoing experiments, such as the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), that are specifically designed to search for evidence of right-handed neutrinos and their properties.

What implications does the Standard Model with right-handed neutrinos have for our understanding of the universe?

If the Standard Model with right-handed neutrinos is proven to be correct, it would provide a more complete understanding of the fundamental particles and their interactions. It could also potentially explain some of the mysteries in physics, such as the matter-antimatter asymmetry and the existence of dark matter. However, more research and evidence is needed to fully confirm the validity of this model.
