Flavour from accidental symmetries
We consider a new approach to fermion masses and mixings in which no special “horizontal” dynamics is invoked to account for the hierarchical pattern of charged fermion masses and for the peculiar features of neutrino masses. The hierarchy follows from the vertical, family-independent structure of the model, in particular from the breaking pattern of the Pati-Salam group. The lightness of the f...
متن کاملThe Peccei–Quinn Field as Curvaton
A simple extension of the minimal supersymmetric standard model which naturally and simultaneously solves the strong CP and μ problems via a PecceiQuinn and a continuous R symmetry is considered. This model is supplemented with hybrid inflation and leptogenesis, but without taking the specific details of these scenarios. It is shown that the Peccei-Quinn field can successfully act as a curvaton...
متن کاملFlatons and Peccei-quinn Symmetry
We study in detail a supersymmetric Peccei-Quinn model, which has a DFSZ and a KSVZ version. The fields breaking the Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry correspond to flat directions (flaton fields) and have unsuppressed couplings when PQ symmetry is unbroken. The models have interesting particle physics phenomenology. The PQ scale is naturally generated through radiative corrections; also, in the DFSZ ...
متن کاملFamily symmetries and the SUSY flavour problem
We re-examine the constraints on continuous family symmetries coming from flavour changing neutral current limits on the D−term contributions to squark and slepton masses. We show that, for a restricted choice of the familon sector, continuous family symmetries are consistent with even the most conservative limits both for the case of gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking and the case of gravit...
متن کاملIs There a Peccei - Quinn Phase Transition ?
The nature of axion cosmology is usually said to depend on whether the Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry breaks before or after inflation. The PQ symmetry itself is believed to be an accident, so there is not necessarily a symmetry during inflation at all. We explore these issues in some simple models, which provide examples of symmetry breaking before and after inflation, or in which there is no symm...
