Probing chiral and flavored Z from cosmic bursts through neutrino interactions
Abstract
The origin of tiny neutrino mass is an unsolved puzzle leading to a variety of phenomenological aspects beyond the Standard Model (BSM). We consider U(1) gauge extension of the Standard Model (SM) where so-called seesaw mechanism is incarnated with the help of thee generations of Majorana type right-handed neutrinos followed by the breaking of U(1) and electroweak gauge symmetries providing anomaly free structure. In this framework, a neutral BSM gauge boson Z is evolved. To explore the properties of its interactions we consider chiral (flavored) frameworks where Z interactions depend on the handedness (generations) of the fermions. In this paper we focus on Z-neutrino interactions which could be probed from cosmic explosions. We consider e+ e- process which can energize gamma-ray burst (GRB221009A, so far the highest energy) through energy deposition. Hence estimating these rates we constrain U(1) gauge coupling (gX) and Z mass (MZ) under Schwarzchild (Sc) and Hartle-Thorne (HT) scenarios. We also study -DM scattering through Z to constrain gX-MZ plane using IceCube data considering high energy neutrinos from cosmic blazar (TXS0506+056), active galaxy (NGC1068), the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) and the Lyman-α data, respectively. Finally highlighting complementarity we compare our results with current and prospective bounds on gX-MZ plane from scattering, beam-dump and g-2 experiments.
