Neutrino Masses in a 5D SU(3)W TeV Unification Model

چکیده
We study the generation of neutrino masses in the SU(3)W electroweak unified theory in M4 × S1/(Z2 ×Z ′ 2) spacetime. By appropriate orbifolding, the bulk symmetry SU(3)W is broken into SU(2)L × U(1)Y at one of the fixed points, where the quarks reside. The leptons form SU(3)W triplets, localized at the other symmetric fixed point. The fermion masses arise from the bulk Higgs sector containing a triplet and an anti-sextet. We construct neutrino Majorana masses via 1-loop quantum corrections by adding a parity odd bulk triplet scalar. No right-handed neutrino is needed. The neutrino mass matrix is of the inverted hierarchy type. We show that the model can easily accommodate the bi-large mixing angle solution favored by the recent neutrino experiments without much fine tuning of parameters. The constraints from μ → 3e transition and neutrinoless double β decays are discussed.

W Unification model
We study the phenomenology of a 5D SU(3)W model on a S1/(Z2 × Z 2) orbifold in which the minimal scalar sector plays an essential role of radiatively generating neutrino Majorana masses without the benefits of right-handed singlets. We carefully examine how do the exotic scalars affect the renormalization group (RG) equations for the gauge couplings and the 5D SU(3)W unification. We found that ...
متن کاملSolutions of the atmospheric, solar and LSND neutrino anomalies from TeV scale quark-lepton unification
There is a unique SU(4) ⊗ SU(2)L ⊗ SU(2)R gauge model which allows quarks and leptons to be unified at the TeV scale. It is already known that the neutrino masses arise radiatively in the model and are naturally light. We study the atmospheric, solar and LSND neutrino anomalies within the framework of this model.
متن کاملTeV scale 5 D SU ( 3 ) W unification and the fixed point anomaly cancellation with chiral split multiplets
A possibility of 5D gauge unification of SU(2)L×U(1)Y in SU(3)W is examined. The orbifold compactification allows fixed points where SU(2)L×U(1)Y representations can be assigned. We present a few possibilities which give long proton lifetime, top-bottom mass hierarchy from geometry, and reasonable neutrino masses. In general, these chiral models can lead to fixed point anomalies. We can show ea...
متن کاملNeutrino Masses and the Baryon Asymmetry
Due to sphaleron processes in the high-temperature symmetric phase of the standard model the cosmological baryon asymmetry is related to neutrino properties. For hierarchical neutrino masses, with B − L broken at the unification scale ΛGUT ∼ 1016 GeV, the observed baryon asymmetry nB/s ∼ 10−10 can be naturally explained by the decay of heavy Majorana neutrinos. We illustrate this mechanism with...
متن کاملGauge Coupling Unification and Neutrino Masses in 5d Susy So(10)
In this talk I discuss the problems and virtues of SUSY GUTs in four dimensions. I then show how to solve some of these problems, without foregoing the virtues, by considering an SO(10) SUSY GUT in five dimensions. I discuss gauge coupling unification and neutrino masses. In particular, it is shown that the 5D compactification scale and cutoff scale are determined by fitting the low energy valu...
