Abstract

The quark and lepton mass matrices possess approximate flavor symmetries. Several results follow if the interactions of new scalars possess these approximate symmetries. Present experimental bounds allow these exotic scalars to have a weak-scale mass. The Glashow-Weinberg criterion is rendered unnecessary. Finally, rare leptonic {ital B} meson decays provide powerful probes of these scalars, expecially if they are leptoquarks.

Fermion masses and neutrino mixing in an U(1){sub H} flavor symmetry model with hierarchical radiative generation for light charged fermion masses

Journal Article Hernandez-Galeana, Albino - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

I report the analysis performed on fermion masses and mixing, including neutrino mixing, within the context of a model with hierarchical radiative mass generation mechanism for light charged fermions, mediated by exotic scalar particles at one and two loops, respectively, meanwhile the neutrinos get Majorana mass terms at tree level through the Yukawa couplings with two SU(2){sub L} Higgs triplets. All the resulting mass matrices in the model, for the u, d, and e fermion charged sectors, the neutrinos and the exotic scalar particles, are diagonalized in exact analytical form. Quantitative analysis shows that this model is successful to accommodatemore »« less

Limits on scalar-leptoquark masses from lepton-flavor-violating processes of the l{sub i} {yields} l{sub j}{gamma} type

Journal Article

The contributions of scalar leptoquarks to lepton-flavor-violating processes of the l{sub i} {yields} l{sub j}{gamma} type are investigated on the basis of the minimal model relying on four-color symmetry and involving the Higgs mechanism of quark- and lepton-mass generation. It is shown that experimental data on the decay processes {mu} {yields} e{gamma}, {tau} {yields} {mu}{gamma}, and {tau} {yields} e{gamma} are compatible with the existence of light scalar leptoquarks belonging to the type being considered and having masses around 1 TeV or below.

Weak interaction of leptons and quarks in the quaternionic model

Journal Article Chkareuli, J - Sov. J. Nucl. Phys. (Engl. Transl.); (United States)

A gauge theory of quaternionic fields of spin 0, 1/2, and 1 is constructed in order to obtain a unified description of the weak and electromagnetic interactions of quarks and leptons. Just as the complex field in the Lagrangian is associated with the presence of the electric charge in the theory, the quaternionic field corresponds to an ''electroweak'' charge whose components form the SU(2)xU(1) algebra. The theory predicts a minimum of eight quarks (leptons) in the form of pairs of quartets of light and heavy particles and in addition to the neutral Higgs scalar h/sup 0/ it also contains amore »« less
Signals from flavor changing scalar interactions in extended models

Conference Reina, L

If on the one hand many predictions of the Standard Model seem to be in remarkable agreement with experiments, on the other hand the full consistency of the model needs still to be proved. In particular, given our present ignorance of the Higgs sector of the theory, extensions of the Standard Model scalar sector are worth considering. The simplest extension of adding one extra SU(2) doublet of scalar fields, i.e. the Two Higgs Doublet Model, generally introduces Flavor Changing Scalar Neutral Currents. The severe constraints imposed by the low energy physics of K and B mesons (K{sup 0} {minus} {barmore »« less
