Basabendu Barman, Debasish Borah, Suruj Jyoti Das, Indrajit Saha

TL;DR
This paper investigates how recent pulsar timing array results, indicating primordial gravitational waves, constrain the scale of Dirac leptogenesis and left-right symmetric models, linking gravitational wave signals to particle physics beyond the Standard Model.
Contribution
It analyzes the implications of PTA data on the energy scales of Dirac leptogenesis and left-right symmetric models, providing bounds based on gravitational wave observations.
Findings
Dirac leptogenesis scale should be above 10^7 GeV.
Minimal LRSM scale constrained to around 10^6 GeV.
Non-minimal LRSM compatible with PTA data at 10^2-10^3 TeV, but with collider constraints.
Abstract
Motivated by the recent release of new results from five different pulsar timing array (PTA) experiments claiming to have found compelling evidence for primordial gravitational waves (GW) at nano-Hz frequencies, we study the consequences for two popular beyond the Standard Model (SM) frameworks, where such nano-Hz GW can arise due to annihilating domain walls (DW). Minimal framework of Dirac leptogenesis, as well as left-right symmetric model (LRSM) can lead to formation of DW due to spontaneous breaking of symmetry. Considering the NANOGrav 15 yr data, we show that the scale of Dirac leptogenesis should be above GeV for conservative choices of Dirac Yukawa couplings with fine-tuning at the level of the SM. The scale of {\it minimal} LRSM is found to be more constrained GeV in order to fit the NANOGrav 15 yr data. On the other hand, the {\it…
