Lepton masses and mixings, and muon anomalous magnetic moment in an extended $B-L$ model with type I seesaw mechanism

TL;DR

This paper introduces an extended $B-L$ model with discrete symmetries that explains neutrino data, predicts mixing angles, and accounts for the muon g-2 anomaly through a type I seesaw mechanism.

Contribution

It presents a novel $B-L$ model with discrete symmetries that successfully explains sterile-active neutrino mixing and the muon g-2 anomaly, incorporating the type I seesaw mechanism.

Findings

Predicted neutrino mixing angles consistent with recent constraints.

Successfully explained the muon g-2 anomaly.

Provided specific ranges for sterile neutrino mixing parameters.

Abstract

We propose a $B-L$ model combined with the $S_4\times Z_3\times Z_4$ discrete symmetry which successfully explains the recent $3+1$ sterile - active neutrino data. The smallness of neutrino mass is obtained through the type-I seesaw mechanism. The active-active and sterile-active neutrino mixing angles are predicted to be consistent with the recent constraints in which $0.3401\, (0.3402) \leq \sin^2\theta_{12}\leq 0.3415\, (0.3416), \, 0.456\, (0.433) \leq \sin^2\theta_{23}\leq 0.544\, (0.545), \, 2.00\, (2.018) \leq 10^2\times \sin^2\theta_{13}\leq 2.405\, (2.424),\,\, 156 \, (140.8) \leq \delta^{(\circ)}_{CP}\leq 172\, (167.2)$ for normal (inverted) ordering of the three neutrino scenario, and $0.015 \,(0.022) \leq s^2_{14}\leq 0.045 \,(0.029), \, 0.005 (0.0095)\leq s^2_{24}\leq 0.012\, (0.012), \, 0.003 \,(0.009)\leq s^2_{34} \leq 0.011$ for normal (inverted) ordering of the $3+1$ neutrino scenario. Our model predicts flavour conserving leptonic neutral scalar interactions and successfully explains the muon $g-2$ anomaly.
