Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The main goal of experimental high-energy physics is to test and falsify different theory models, thereby constructing the consistent description of all observed phenomena. All these theoretical models are based on different symmetries that can be expected in the surrounding world. The new types of particles and interactions predicted in such models can be searched both directly and indirectly. Direct search can be performed when the experimental limitations make it possible to produce and/or detect these particles/interactions directly in the experiment. Indirect search makes it possible to “feel” these new inaccessible effects in the interactions of well-known particles. This Special Issue aims to discuss different experimental and phenomenological efforts regarding precise tests of currently recognized models as well as the search for new effects in order to extend our knowledge.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

A non-minimal approximation for effective masses of light and heavy neutrinos in the framework of a type-I seesaw mechanism with three generations of sterile Majorana neutrinos which recover the symmetry between quarks and leptons is considered. The main results are: (a) the next-order corrections to the effective mass matrix of heavy neutrinos due to terms O(θMD) are obtained, which modify the commonly used representation for the effective mass (MD is a Dirac neutrino mass when the electroweak symmetry is spontaneously broken); and (b) the general form of the mixing matrix is found in non-minimal approximation parametrized by a complex 3×3 matrix satisfying a nontrivial constraint. Numerical analysis within the νMSM framework demonstrates the very small effect of new contributions of direct collider observables as opposed to their possible significance for cosmological models.
