Seesaw fermion masses in the standard model

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. D; (United States)
The seesaw mechanism is implemented for all quarks and leptons in the standard model of strong and electroweak interactions based on the gauge group SU(3)/sub c/ x SU(2)/sub L/ x U(1). This requires the introduction of a set of new fermions that are singlets of the weak-interaction group SU(2)/sub L/. Two models are constructed: one with discrete symmetries and another with Peccei-Quinn symmetry. The Higgs sector of the second model is identical to the Dine-Fischler-Srednicki model.
