Title: SO(3) family symmetry and axions

Abstract

Motivated by the idea of comprehensive unification, we study a gauged SO(3) flavor extension of the extended Standard Model, including right-handed neutrinos and a Peccei-Quinn symmetry with simple charge assignments. The model accommodates the observed fermion masses and mixings and yields a characteristic, successful relation among them. The Peccei-Quinn symmetry is an essential ingredient.

Peccei-Quinn symmetry as flavor symmetry and grand unification

Journal Article Davidson, A ; Nair, V P ; Wali, K C - Phys. Rev. D; (United States)

We consider the possibility of identifying the Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry as also the flavor symmetry in multigenerational grand unification schemes. The essential ingredient, a global, axial U(1) symmetry in the PQ mechanism to avoid the strong CP-violation problem provides useful constraints on the fermion--Higgs-boson couplings in the theory, thereby leading to identical ''canonical'' forms for fermion mass matrices in both the charged sectors. These forms are the conjectured Fritzsch-type matrices exhibiting the ''nearest-neighbor'' interactions in generation space. From among the popular schemes for grand unification, SO(10) emerges as one which has several advantages over the others for constructing multigenerational grandmore »« less

Light sterile neutrinos and a high-quality axion from a holographic Peccei-Quinn mechanism

Journal Article Cox, Peter ; Gherghetta, Tony ; Nguyen, Minh D. - Physical Review D

We present a five-dimensional (5D) axion-neutrino model that explains the Standard Model fermion mass hierarchy and flavor structure, while simultaneously generating a high-quality axion. The axion and right-handed neutrinos transform under a 5D Peccei-Quinn gauge symmetry, and have highly suppressed profiles on the UV brane where the symmetry is explicitly broken. This setup allows neutrinos to be either Dirac or Majorana with hierarchically small sterile neutrino masses. The axion decay constant originates from the IR scale, which in the holographically dual four-dimensional description corresponds to the confinement scale of some new strong dynamics with a high-quality global Peccei-Quinn symmetry thatmore »« less

SMART U(1)$$$$_X$$$$: standard model with axion, right handed neutrinos, two Higgs doublets and U(1)$$$$_X$$$$ gauge symmetry

Journal Article Okada, Nobuchika ; Raut, Digesh ; Shafi, Qaisar - European Physical Journal. C, Particles and Fields

To address five fundamental shortcomings of the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics and cosmology, we propose a phenomenologically viable framework based on a U(1)_X × U(1)_PQ extension of the SM, that we call “SMART U(1)_X”. The U(1)_X gauge symmetry is a well-known generalization of the U(1)_B–L symmetry and U(1)_PQ is the global Peccei–Quinn (PQ) symmetry. Three right handed neutrinos are added to cancel U(1)_X related anomalies, and they play a crucial role in understanding the observed neutrino oscillations and explaining the observed baryon asymmetry in the universe via leptogenesis. Implementation of PQ symmetry helps resolve the strong CP problemmore »« less

We propose a SU(5) × U(1)_X × U(1)_PQ model, where U(1)_X is the generalization of the B – L (baryon minus lepton number) gauge symmetry and U(1)_PQ is the global Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry. There are four fermions families inmore »« less

Peccei-Quinn symmetry and nucleon decay in renormalizable SUSY SO(10)

Journal Article Babu, K. S. ; Fukuyama, Takeshi ; Khan, Saki ; ... - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

We suggest simple ways of implementing Peccei-Quinn (PQ) symmetry to solve the strong CP problem in renormalizable SUSY SO(10) models with a minimal Yukawa sector. Realistic fermion mass generation requires that a second pair of Higgs doublets survive down to the PQ scale. We show how unification of gauge couplings can be achieved in this context. Higgsino mediated proton decay rate is strongly suppressed by a factor of (M_PQ/M_GUT)², which enables all SUSY particles to have masses of order TeV. With TeV scale SUSY spectrum,more »« less
