| Abstract |
We propose an extension of the electroweak sector of the Standard Model in which the gauge group SU(2)L is promoted to SU(2)1x SU(2)2. This framework naturally includes a viable dark matter candidate and generates neutrino masses radiatively & agrave; la Scotogenic. Our scenario can be viewed as an ultraviolet extension of the Scotogenic mechanism, addressing some of its shortcomings. The resulting phenomenology may be probed through a range of experimental signatures, from precision electroweak measurements to searches for lepton flavor violation. |

| Abstract |
We present and analyze two minimal extensions of the Standard Model featuring a spontaneously broken global, chiral, and anomaly-free U(1)D symmetry. This breaking generates naturally small Dirac neutrino masses via a seesaw mechanism and yields a physical massless Goldstone boson, the Diracon. Although both models share the same particle content and scalar potential, their distinct symmetry breaking pattern leads to remarkably different phenomenological and cosmological signatures. In the first model, the Diracon couples weakly to charged leptons but right-handed neutrinos can be efficiently produced in the early Universe, resulting in stringent constraints from the effective number of relativistic species, triangle Neff. Conversely, in the second one, right-handed neutrino production is suppressed, and flavour-violating processes such as μ-> eD\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$ \mu \to e\mathcal{D} $$\end{document} provide the most promising probes. These simple but elegant models showcase the complementarity between cosmological observations and low-energy flavour experiments in the search for physics beyond the Standard Model. |

| Abstract |
We investigate the dimuon Higgs decay h -> mu+mu- in the context of an extended Scotogenic model. The model introduces a singlet complex scalar in addition to the standard Scotogenic scalar doublet and singlet fermions, charged under a dark & Zopf;2 symmetry. By exploring the one-loop contributions, we show that the model allows for sizable deviations in the Higgs dimuon decay rate, quantified by the quotient R μμ= Br(h -> mu+mu-)/Br(h -> mu+mu-)SM. Crucially, these deviations comply with experimental limits, including those on Br(mu+ -> e+gamma) and Br(h -> gamma gamma). Such deviations can be tested and constrained by future precision measurements at the LHC. |

| Abstract |
We provide a comprehensive analysis of the Type-I Seesaw family of neutrino mass models, including the conventional type-I seesaw and its low-scale variants, namely the linear and inverse seesaws. We establish that all these models essentially correspond to a particular form of the type-I seesaw in the context of explicit lepton number violation. We then focus into the more interesting scenario of spontaneous lepton number violation, systematically categorizing all inequivalent minimal models. Furthermore, we identify and flesh out specific models that feature a rich majoron phenomenology and discuss some scenarios which, despite having heavy mediators and being invisible in processes such as μ-> e gamma, predict sizable rates for decays including the majoron in the final state. |

Theories of Flavour; New Gauge Interactions |
| Abstract |
The tri-hypercharge proposal introduces a separate gauged weak hypercharge assigned to each fermion family as the origin of flavour. This is arguably one of the simplest setups for building “gauge non-universal theories of flavour” or “flavour deconstructed theories”. In this paper we propose and study two minimal but ultraviolet complete and renormalisable tri-hypercharge models. We show that both models, which differ only by the heavy messengers that complete the effective theory, are able to explain the observed patterns of fermion masses and mixings (including neutrinos) with all fundamental coefficients being of O(1). In fact, both models translate the complicated flavour structure of the Standard Model into three simple physical scales above electroweak symmetry breaking, completely correlated with each other, that carry meaningful phenomenology. In particular, the heavy messenger sector determines the origin and size of fermion mixing, which controls the size and nature of the flavour-violating currents mediated by the two heavy Z ' gauge bosons of the theory. The phenomenological implications of the two minimal models are compared. In both models the lightest Z ' remains discoverable in dilepton searches at the LHC Run 3. |

| Abstract |
The particle spectrum of all Majorana neutrino mass models with spontaneous violation of global lepton number include a Goldstone boson, the so-called majoron. The presence of this massless pseudoscalar changes the phenomenology dramatically. In this work we derive general analytical expressions for the 1-loop coupling of the majoron to charged leptons. These can be applied to any model featuring a majoron that have a clear hierarchy of energy scales, required for an expansion in powers of the low-energy scale to be valid. We show how to use our general results by applying them to some example models, finding full agreement with previous results in several popular scenarios and deriving novel ones in other setups. |

Grand Unification; Theories of Flavour |
| Abstract |
In this paper we discuss SU(5)3 with cyclic symmetry as a possible grand unified theory (GUT). The basic idea of such a tri-unification is that there is a separate SU(5) for each fermion family, with the light Higgs doublet(s) arising from the third family SU(5), providing a basis for charged fermion mass hierarchies. SU(5)3 tri-unification reconciles the idea of gauge non-universality with the idea of gauge coupling unification, opening the possibility to build consistent non-universal descriptions of Nature that are valid all the way up to the scale of grand unification. As a concrete example, we propose a grand unified embedding of the tri-hypercharge model \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$${\text{U}}{\left(1\right)}_{Y}<^>{3}$$\end{document} based on an SU(5)3 framework with cyclic symmetry. We discuss a minimal tri-hypercharge example which can account for all the quark and lepton (including neutrino) masses and mixing parameters. We show that it is possible to unify the many gauge couplings into a single gauge coupling associated with the cyclic SU(5)3 gauge group, by assuming minimal multiplet splitting, together with a set of relatively light colour octet scalars. We also study proton decay in this example, and present the predictions for the proton lifetime in the dominant e+pi 0 channel. |

| Abstract |
Several hints of the presence of a new state at about 95 GeV have been observed recently. The CMS and ATLAS Collaborations have reported excesses in the diphoton channel at about this diphoton invariant mass with local statistical significances of 2.9 sigma and 1.7 sigma, respectively. Furthermore, a 2 sigma excess in the bb over bar final state was also observed at LEP, again pointing at a similar mass value. We interpret these intriguing hints of new physics in a variant of the Scotogenic model, an economical scenario that induces Majorana neutrino masses at the loop level and includes a viable dark matter candidate. We show that our model can explain the 95 GeV excesses while respecting the relevant collider, Higgs, and electroweak precision bounds and discuss other phenomenological features of our scenario. |

| Abstract |
The Scotogenic model is a popular scenario that induces radiative Majorana neutrino masses and includes a weakly-interacting dark matter candidate. We classify all possible ultraviolet extensions of the Scotogenic model in which (i) the dark DOUBLE-STRUCK CAPITAL Z(2) parity emerges at low energies after the spontaneous breaking of a global U(1)(L) lepton number symmetry, and (ii) the low-energy effective theory contains a naturally small lepton number breaking parameter, suppressed by the mass of a heavy mediator integrated out at tree-level. We find 50 such models and discuss two of them in detail to illustrate our setup. We also discuss some general aspects of the phenomenology of the models in our classification, exploring possible lepton flavor violating signals, collider signatures and implications for dark matter. The phenomenological prospects of these scenarios are very rich due to the presence of additional scalar states, including a massless Goldstone boson. |
