Non-unitarity and NSI

Generic new physics affecting n oscillations can beparameterized as 4-fermion Non-Standard Interactions:

Large NSI?

We searched for gauge invariant SM extensions satisfying:

Matter NSI are generated at tree level

4-charged fermion ops not generated at the same level

No cancellations between diagrams with different messenger particles to avoid constraints

The Higgs Mechanism is responsible for EWSBS. Antusch, J. Baumann and EFM 0807.1003

At d=6 only one possibility: charged scalar singlet

At d=8 we found no new ways of selecting n

The d=6 constraints on non-unitarity and the scalar singlet

apply also to the d=8 realizations

What if we allow for cancellations among diagrams?

tick means selects n at d=8 without 4-charged fermion

bold means induces 4-charged fermionat d=6, have to cancel it!!

There is always a 4 charged fermion op that needs canceling

Conclusions Models leading “naturally” to NSI imply:

O(10-3) bounds on the NSI

Relations between matter and production/detection NSI

Probing O(10-3) NSI at future facilities very challenging but not impossible, near detectors like MINSIS excellent probes

Saturating the mild model-independent bounds on matter NSI and decoupling them from production/detection requires strong fine tuning
