S. Bhupal Dev","Xun-Jie Xu"],"abstract":"We consider a hidden $U(1)$ gauge symmetry under which only the right-handed neutrinos ($\\nu_{R}$) are charged. The corresponding gauge boson is referred to as the $\\nu_{R}$-philic $Z'$. Despite the absence of direct gauge couplings to ordinary matter at tree level, loop-induced couplings of the $\\nu_{R}$-philic $Z'$ via left-right neutrino mixing can be responsible for its experimental accessibility. An important feature of the $\\nu_{R}$-philic $Z'$ is that its couplings to neutrinos are generally much larger than its couplings to charged leptons and quarks, thus providing a particularly interesting scenario for future neutrino experiments such as DUNE to probe. We consider two approaches to probe the $\\nu_{R}$-philic $Z'$ at DUNE near detectors via (i) searching for $Z'$ decay signals, and (ii) precision measurement of elastic neutrino-electron scattering mediated by the $Z'$ boson. We show that the former will have sensitivity comparable to or better than previous beam dump experiments, while the latter will improve current limits substantially for large neutrino couplings.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.11876v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2204.11876v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"probing-the-n-r-philic-z-at-dune-near","repo_url":"https://github.com/xunjiexu/zprime-at-dune","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
