S4 as a natural flavor symmetry for lepton mixing
Group theoretical arguments seem to indicate the discrete symmetry S4 as the minimal flavor symmetry compatible with tribimaximal neutrino mixing. We prove in a model-independent way that indeed S4 can realize exact tribimaximal mixing through different symmetry breaking patterns. We present two models in which lepton tribimaximal mixing is realized in different ways and for each one we discuss...
متن کاملSpontaneous Symmetry Breaking through Mixing
We discuss a model, in which the negative mass square needed in the Higgs mechanism is generated by mixing with a heavy scalar. We have two scalar doublets in the standard model. Phenomenological properties of the heavy new scalar are discussed. The heavy scalar can be detected by the LHC. In the Standard Model (SM) the masses of the Wand Z-bosons and of the fermions (leptons and quarks) are in...
متن کاملThe early Universe: Inflation and symmetry breaking
Until the beginning of the 20-th century the sky was assumed to be essentially immutable. In 1916, right after formulating the his theory of General Relativity, Einstein applied it to the entire Universe, in what could be considered as the birth of modern theoretical cosmology. To do that, he generalized the length of the 4-interval (that is, the space-time metric) of special relativity, ds = −...
متن کاملFlavor Symmetry Breaking and Mixing Effects in the ηγ and η′γ Transition Form Factors
Abstract. We reanalyze the ηγ and ηγ transition form factors within the modified hard scattering approach on the basis of new experimental data from CLEO [1] and L3 [2]. Our approach perfectly describes the experimental data over a wide range of the virtuality of the probing photon, 1 GeV2 ≤ Q2 ≤ 15 GeV2. The analysis provides hints that the conventional flavor octet-singlet scheme for the η-η ...
متن کاملSpontaneous Breaking of Flavor Symmetry and Naturalness of Nearly Degenerate Neutrino Masses and Bi-maximal Mixing∗
The gauge model with SO(3)F flavor symmetry and three Higgs triplets is studied. We show how the intriguing nearly degenerate neutrino mass and bi-maximal mixing scenario comes out naturally after spontaneous breaking of the symmetry. The hierarchy between the neutrino mass-squared differences, which is needed for reconciling both solar and atmospheric neutrino data, is naturally resulted from ...
