Impact of Fermion Mass Degeneracy on Flavor Mixing
نویسندگان
چکیده
We carry out a systematic analysis of flavor mixing and CP violation in the conceptually interesting limit where two quarks or leptons of the same charge are degenerate in mass. We pay some particular attention to the impact of neutrino mass degeneracy and Majorana phase degeneracy on the lepton flavor mixing matrix.

The flavor of a little Higgs with T-parity
We analyze flavor constraints in the littlest Higgs model with T-parity. In particular, we focus on neutral meson mixing in the K, B, and D systems due to one loop contributions from T-parity odd fermions and gauge bosons. We calculate the short distance contributions to mixing for a general choice of T-odd fermion Yukawa couplings. We find that for a generic choice of textures, a TeV scale GIM...
متن کاملTop quark Kaluza-Klein mode mixing in the Randall-Sundrum bulk Standard Model and Constraint from ∆ρ
The Randall-Sundrum (RS) scenario with all the standard model (SM) fermions and gauge bosons in the bulk is phenomenologically studied. Even though the simple assumption of universal bulk fermion mass mψ leads to the same Kaluza-Klein (KK) mass spectrum for all the SM fermions and thus suppresses new contributions to Flavor-Changing-Neutral-Current (FCNC) and the ρ parameter, large Yukawa coupl...

We study top quark Kaluza-Klein (KK) mode mixing in the Randall-Sundrum scenario with all the SM fermions and gauge bosons in the bulk. Even though the simple assumption of universal bulk fermion mass mψ leads to the same KK mass spectrum for all the SM fermions and thus suppresses new contributions to the flavor changing neutral current and the ρ parameter, large Yukawa coupling of the top qua...
متن کاملA Simple Flavor Protection for RS
We present a simple variation of warped flavor models where the hierarchies of fermion masses and mixings are still explained but dangerous flavor violating effects in the Kaon sector are greatly reduced. The key new ingredients are two horizontal U(1) symmetries. These symmetries forbid flavor violation in the down quark sector (with the exception of small IR brane localized kinetic mixing ter...
متن کاملOn the flavor mixing by a Light-Cone Hamiltonian and the isotopic spin in QCD
The structure of an effective light-cone Hamiltonian as recently derived is analyzed with emphasis on its prediction for flavor mixing in physical mesons. In a (perhaps over-simplified) model with one adjustable parameter, the empirical masses of all 25 pseudo-scalar mesons which are possible for 5 flavors are reproduced (almost) quantitatively. These results are coupled with explicit numerical...
