Title: Generalized gauge U(1) family symmetry for quarks and leptons

Abstract

If the standard model of quarks and leptons is extended to include three singlet right-handed neutrinos, then the resulting fermion structure admits an infinite number of anomaly-free solutions with just one simple constraint. Well-known examples satisfying this constraint are B–L, L_μ–Lτ, B–3Lτ, etc. Here, we derive this simple constraint, and discuss two new examples which offer some insights to the structure of mixing among quark and lepton families, together with their possible verification at the Large Hadron Collider.

Hierarchical quark and lepton masses with sequential U(1) gauge symmetry

Journal Article Ma, Ernest - Physics Letters. B

Instead of right-handed neutrino singlets, the standard model is extended to include lepton triplets (Σ⁺, Σ⁰, Σ^-). Each quark and lepton family may now transform under an anomaly-free U(1)_X gauge symmetry, known already for many years. A new sequential application is presented, using just the one Higgs doublet of the standard model, together with two U(1)_X Higgs singlets. The resulting structure has hierarchical quark and lepton masses, as well as a viable seesaw neutrino mass matrix.

Dark Gauge U(1) symmetry for an alternative left–right model

Journal Article Kownacki, Corey ; Ma, Ernest ; Pollard, Nicholas ; ... - European Physical Journal. C, Particles and Fields

An alternative left–right model of quarks and lep-tons, where the SU(2)_R lepton doublet (ν, l)_R is replaced with (n, l)_R so that n_R is not the Dirac mass partner of ν_L, has been known since 1987. Previous versions assumed a global U(1)_S symmetry to allow n to be identified as a dark-matter fermion. We propose here a gauge extension by the addition of extra fermions to render the model free of gauge anomalies, and just one singlet scalar to break U(1)_S.This results in two layers of dark matter, one hidden behind the other.

Baryon and lepton number as local gauge symmetries

Journal Article Fileviez Perez, Pavel ; Wise, Mark B - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

We investigate a simple theory where baryon number (B) and lepton number (L) are local gauge symmetries. In this theory B and L are on the same footing and the anomalies are canceled by adding a single new fermionic generation. There is an interesting realization of the seesaw mechanism for neutrino masses. Furthermore, there is a natural suppression of flavor violation in the quark and leptonic sectors since the gauge symmetries and particle content forbid tree level flavor changing neutral currents involving the quarks or charged leptons. Also one finds that the stability of a dark matter candidate is anmore »« less

Dynamical symmetry breaking and composite model for leptons, quarks, and Higgs mesons

Journal Article Kobayashi, T - Phys. Rev. D; (United States)

Dynamical symmetry breaking producing light-fermion generations, masses of fermions and bosons, and parity violation is proposed in a composite model. The model is described by three types of constituents, which are written in terms of two types of fermion constituents, a leptonic one t/sup l/ and a quarklike one t/sup q/, and a bosonic constituent S/sup 0/. Gauge interactions SU(3)/sub H/xSU(3)/sub c/xSU(2)/sub L/x SU(2)/sub R/xU(1)/sub B/-L are introduced. Leptons (l), quarks (q), and Higgs scalars (..delta..) for parity violation are, respectively, represented by the hypercolor (SU(3)/sub H/) singlet bound states of the types t/sup l/S/sup 0dagger/, t/sup q/S/sup 0dagger/, andmore »« less

Composite quarks and leptons from restricted anomaly matching

Journal Article Albright, C H ; Schrempp, B ; Schrempp, F - Phys. Rev. D; (United States)

A composite model based on the unique and simple solution SU(3)/sub HC/ x SU(6) /sub L/ x SU(6)/sub R/ (HC denotes hypercolor) of a restricted 't Hooft anomaly-matching program is systematically analyzed. Particular emphasis is placed on implementing the idea that not only fermions but also Higgs scalars should be composite. The composite fermions remaining massless on the level of the physically appealing gauged subgroup SU(3)/sub c/ x SU(2)/sub L/ x SU(2)/sub R/ x U(1)/sub B/-L of SU(6)/sub L/ x SU(6)/sub R/ are identified as conventional quarks and leptons as well as color-sextet quarks and color-singlet ''pointlike baryons.''
