Neutrinos, their Partners and Unification
نویسنده
چکیده
Efforts to unify group-theoretically the standard-model gauge interactions with the generation structure of fermions and their mirror partners should be accompanied with the unification of the corresponding gauge couplings. In this paper the possibility of such a unification is studied and conclusions on possible symmetry-breaking channels and scales, as well as on the fermion content of the theory, are drawn. The breaking of some of the symmetries allows various Majorana masses for neutrinos and their mirror partners, so these are studied next. Implications to neutrino mixings and mass hierarchies in connection with recent experimental results, as well as to electroweak precision tests, are then discussed. ∗e-mail:[email protected]

Horizontal Symmetry and Masses of Neutrinos Tsutomu YANAGIDA
A striking and puzzling phenomenon 1s that neutrinos appear nearly massless in contrast to all other leptons and quarks. The left-handed neutrinos may combine with their chiral partners (if they exist) to form Dirac fermions with masses comparable to the usual lepton and quark masses. It has been pointed outu by the present author and independently by Gell-Mann, Ramond and Slansky that this can...

متن کاملLow Scale Quark-Lepton Unification
We investigate the possibility that quarks and leptons are unified at a low energy scale much smaller than the grand unified scale. A simple theory for quark-lepton unification based on the gauge group SU(4)C ⊗ SU(2)L ⊗ U(1)R is proposed. This theory predicts the existence of scalar leptoquarks which could be produced at the Large Hadron Collider. In order to have light neutrinos without fine t...
متن کاملNeutrino masses and unification of the gauge and Yukawa couplings
There is a convincing experimental evidence that neutrinos are massive. Therefore we investigate the influence of the neutrino masses on the unification of gauge and Yukawa couplings in the framework of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. We estimate the contribution of the neutrino Yukawa coupling to the gauge and Yukawa coupling unification. We find that in the case of the gauge coupli...

SU L (4) × U (1) model for electroweak unification and sterile neutrinos Abstract Some of basic problems in neutrino physics such as new energy scales, the enormous gap between neutrino masses and the lightest charged fermion mass, possible existance of sterile neutrinos in eV mass range are studied in the local gauge group SU L (4) × U (1) for electroweak unification, which does not contain fe...
