Abstract

We examine the minimal U(1)Lμ−Lτ gauge model in light of the latest neutrino data, including neutrino oscillations, cosmological observations, direct mass measurements, and neutrinoless double-beta decay. Using the most conservative oscillation data, we find that normal ordering is excluded at approximately the 90% confidence level (CL). Incorporating cosmological constraints from cosmic microwave background observations strengthens this exclusion to about 95% CL, while further including baryon acoustic oscillation data increases it to nearly 99% CL. The inverted ordering is even more strongly disfavored. Our analysis is performed within a frequentist framework, minimizing sensitivity to prior assumptions inherent in Bayesian approaches. These results impose strong constraints on the viability of the minimal U(1)Lμ−Lτ gauge model.

最小U(1)Lμ−Lτ模型的全局中微子约束

我们根据最新的中微子数据，包括中微子振荡、宇宙学观测、直接质量测量和无中微子双β衰变，来检验最小U(1)Lμ−Lτ规范模型。使用最保守的振荡数据，我们发现在大约90%的置信水平（CL）上排除了正常排序。结合宇宙微波背景观测的宇宙学约束，将这种排除率提高到95%左右，而进一步包括重子声学振荡数据，则将其提高到近99%。倒序则更不受欢迎。我们的分析是在频率框架内进行的，最大限度地减少了对贝叶斯方法固有的先验假设的敏感性。这些结果对最小U(1)Lμ−Lτ规范模型的可行性施加了强烈的约束。2025年由美国物理学会出版
