Non-standard neutrino interactions in the Zee-Babu model [Elektronisk resurs]

• We investigate non-standard neutrino interactions (NSIs) in the Zee-Babu model. The size of NSIs predicted by this model is obtained from a full scan over the parameter space. taking into account constraints from low-energy experiments such as searches for lepton flavor violation (LFV) and the requirement to obtain a viable neutrino mass matrix. The dependence on the scale of new physics as well as on the type of the neutrino mass hierarchy is discussed. We find that NSIs at the source of a future neutrino factory may be at an observable level in the nu(e) -> nu(tau) and/or nu(mu) -> nu(tau) channels. In particular, if the doubly charged scalar of the model has a mass in reach of the LHC and if the neutrino mass hierarchy is inverted, a highly predictive scenario is obtained with observable signals at the LHC, in upcoming neutrino oscillation experiments, in LFV processes, and for NSIs at a neutrino factory.
