TeV Scale Phenomenology of $e^+e^- \toμ^+ μ^-$ Scattering in the
Noncommutative Standard Model with Hybrid Gauge Transformation

Weijian Wang, Jia-Hui Huang, Zheng-Mao Sheng
The hybrid gauge transformation and its nontrivial phenomenological implications are investigated using the noncommutative gauge theory with the Seiberg-Witten map expanded scenario. Particularly, the $e^+e^- \to\mu^+ \mu^-$ process is studied with a generalized noncommutative standard model (NCSM) including massive neutrinos and neutrino-photon interaction. In this model, the hybrid gauge transformation in the lepton sector is naturally introduced through the requirement of gauge invariance of the seesaw neutrino mass term. It is shown that in the NCSM without hybrid gauge transformation the noncommutative correction to the scattering amplitude of the $e^+e^- \to\mu^+ \mu^-$ process appears only as a phase factor, predicting no new physical deviation in the cross section. However, when the hybrid feature is considered, the noncommutative effect appears in the single channel process. The cross section and angular distribution are analyzed in the laboratory frame including Earth's rotation. It is proposed that pair production of muons in the upcoming TeV International Linear Collider (ILC) can provide an ideal opportunity for exploring not only the NC space-time, but also the mathematical structure of the corresponding gauge theory.
