The discovery and exclusion limits for sterile neutrinos are shown using both the Cut-and-Count(CC) and Multi-Variate Analysis(MVA) methods. We also discriminate between Dirac and Majorana sterile neutrinos by exploiting a set of kinematic observables which differ between the Dirac and Majorana cases. We find that the MVA method, compared to the more common CC method, can greatly enhance the discovery and discrimination limits. Two benchmark points with sterile neutrino mass m N =20 GeV and 50 GeV are tested. For an integrated luminosity of 3000 fb^-1, sterile neutrinos can be found with 5σ significance if heavy-to-light neutrino mixings |U_(Ne)|^2~|U_(Nμ)|^2~10^-6, while Majorana vs. Dirac discrimination can be reached if at least one of the mixings is of order 10^-5.展开更多

As the inflaton potential is fully radiatively generated exclusively by gauge self-interactions, the model is predictive; thus, it is protected by gauge symmetry itself, without the introduction of any additional matter fields or arbitrary interactions. We show that the model fully agrees with the recent cosmological observations within the controlled perturbative regime of gauge interactions, g4≤1/(2πRMP), with the compactification radius(10 ≤ RMP ≤ 100): the expected magnitude of the curvature perturbation power spectrum and the value of the corresponding spectral index are in perfect agreement with the recent observations. The model also predicts a large fraction of the gravitational waves, negligible nonGaussianity, and a sufficiently high reheating temperature.展开更多
