Flavor Symmetry for Quarks and Leptons
Present data on neutrino masses and mixing favor the highly symmetric tribimaximal neutrino mixing matrix which suggests an underlying flavor symmetry. A systematic study of non-abelian finite groups of order g ≤ 31 reveals that tribimaximal mixing can be derived not only from the well known tetrahedral flavor symmetry T ≡ A4, but also by using the binary tetrahedral symmetry SL2(F3) which does...
متن کاملFlavor Physics with light quarks and leptons
The impact of rare K decays and lepton-flavor violating processes in shedding light on physics beyond the Standard Model is reviewd. To this purpose, I first recall the formulation of the Minimal Flavor Violation hypothesis –both in the quark and in the lepton sector– and then use it as guiding principle in comparing the new-physics sensitivity of different rare processes. On the phenomenologic...
متن کاملFlavor Mixing with Quarks and Leptons*
The last year has brought such a wealth of new information on heavy flavors _ that meaningful bounds can now be placed on all fermion mass related parameters -. in the Standard Model. I review the status of the KM matrix with particular emphasis on the theoretical uncertainties. B” -B’ mixing is reevaluated and CP violation is discussed as it is observed in KL decays and as it hopefully can be ...
متن کاملQuaternion Family Symmetry of Quarks and Leptons
To a first approximation, the quark mixing matrix has θ 13 = θ q 23 = 0, whereas the lepton mixing matrix has θ 23 = π/4. We show how this structure may be understood if the family symmetry is Q8, the quaternion group of eight elements. We find three viable scenarios for the Majorana neutrino mass matrix, each depending on 4 parameters and predicting a specific mass spectrum. The phenomenology ...
متن کاملNew Gauge Symmetry of Quarks and Leptons
Instead of anchoring the seesaw mechanism with the conventional heavy righthanded neutrino singlet, a small Majorana neutrino mass may be obtained just as well with the addition of a heavy triplet of leptons per family to the minimal standard model of particle interactions. The resulting model is shown to have the remarkable property of accommodating a new U(1) symmetry which is anomaly-free an...
