We explore constraints on gauge bosons of a weakly coupled U(1) B−L , U(1) Lµ−Le , U(1) Le−Lτ and U(1) Lµ−Lτ . To do so we apply the full constraining power of experimental bounds derived for a hidden photon of a secluded U(1) X and translate them to the considered gauge groups. In contrast to the secluded hidden photon that acquires universal couplings to charged Standard Model particles through kinetic mixing with the photon, for these gauge groups the couplings to the different Standard Model particles can vary widely. We take finite, computable loop-induced kinetic mixing effects into account, which provide additional sensitivity in a range of experiments. In addition, we collect and extend limits from neutrino experiments as well as astrophysical and cosmological observations and include new constraints from white dwarf cooling. We discuss the reach of future experiments in searching for these gauge bosons.

“…While these decay products are important to understand for the purposes of nuclear power generation, the antineutrino flux from these products has also received attention in particle physics due to its usefulness in probing the nature of the weak interaction and fundamental properties of neutrinos. Reactor antineutrino flux measurements have been used in the past to verify predictions of the charged [1][2][3] and neutral current [4][5][6] weak interaction. Over the past two decades, reactor antineutrinos have been utilized to produce measurements of Standard Model neutrino oscillation parameters [7][8][9][10][11].…”

Prospects for improved understanding of isotopic reactor antineutrino fluxes

Predictions of antineutrino fluxes produced by fission isotopes in a nuclear reactor have recently received increased scrutiny due to observed differences in predicted and measured inverse beta decay (IBD) yields, referred to as the "reactor antineutrino flux anomaly." In this paper, global fits are applied to existing IBD yield measurements to produce constraints on antineutrino production by individual plutonium and uranium fission isotopes. We find that fits including measurements from highly 235 U-enriched cores and fits including Daya Bay's new fuel evolution result produce discrepant bestfit IBD yields for 235 U and 239Pu. This discrepancy can be alleviated in a global analysis of all data sets through simultaneous fitting of 239 Pu, 235 U, and 238 U yields. The measured IBD yield of 238 U in this analysis is ð7.02 AE 1.65Þ × 10 −43 cm 2 =fission, nearly two standard deviations below existing predictions. Future hypothetical IBD yield measurements by short-baseline reactor experiments are examined to determine their possible impact on the global understanding of isotopic IBD yields. It is found that future improved short-baseline IBD yield measurements at both high-enriched and low-enriched cores can significantly improve constraints for 235 U, 238 U, and 239 Pu, providing comparable or superior precision to existing conversion-and summation-based antineutrino flux predictions. Systematic and experimental requirements for these future measurements are also investigated.

The mass and weak interaction eigenstates for the quarks of the third generation are very well aligned, an empirical fact for which the Standard Model offers no explanation. We explore the possibility that this alignment is due to an additional gauge symmetry in the third generation. Specifically, we construct and analyze an explicit, renormalizable model with a gauge boson, X, corresponding to the B − L symmetry of the third family. Having a relatively light (in the MeV to multi-GeV range), flavor-nonuniversal gauge boson results in a variety of constraints from different sources. By systematically analyzing 20 different constraints, we identify the most sensitive probes: kaon, B + , D + and Upsilon decays, D −D 0 mixing, atomic parity violation, and neutrino scattering and oscillations. For the new gauge coupling g X in the range (10 −2 -10 −4 ) the model is shown to be consistent with the data. Possible ways of testing the model in b physics, top and Z decays, direct collider production and neutrino oscillation experiments, where one can observe nonstandard matter effects, are outlined. The choice of leptons to carry the new force is ambiguous, resulting in additional phenomenological implications, such as nonuniversality in semileptonic bottom decays. The proposed framework provides interesting connections between neutrino oscillations, flavor and collider physics.
