Absolute Neutrino Mass and Mass Ordering

Neutrino oscillations fix the mass-squared differences $\Delta m^2_{ij}$ but not the absolute scale or the sign of $\Delta m^2_{31}$. What are the absolute neutrino masses, is the ordering normal or…

The Muon Anomalous Magnetic Moment (g − 2)

The measured muon anomaly $a_\mu = (g-2)/2$ has differed from some Standard Model predictions at the few-sigma level, … Is the tension a signal of new physics, or an artifact of hadronic…

The Hierarchy Problem

Radiative corrections to the Higgs mass scale quadratically with the cutoff, … so keeping $m_H \approx 125\,\text{GeV}$ against a Planck-scale cutoff requires enormous fine-tuning. Why is the electroweak…

Matter–Antimatter Asymmetry of the Universe

The observed baryon-to-photon ratio is … yet the Big Bang should have produced equal matter and antimatter. The Standard Model satisfies Sakharov's three conditions only far too…
