Fermion masses, neutrino mixing and CP violation from the anti-grand unification model

چکیده

The fermion masses and mixing angles are fitted using only 3 free parameters in a non-supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model, with new approximately conserved chiral gauge quantum numbers broken by a set of Higgs fields. The fundamental mass scale of this anti-grand unification model is given by the Planck mass. We also calculate neutrino mixing angles and masses, as well as CP violation from the CKM matrix. A good fit is obtained to the observed fermion masses but our predictions of the neutrino masses are too small to lead to any observable neutrino oscillation effects claimed today, without introducing another mass scale. We also give some arguments in support of this type of model based on the observed fermion masses. PACS: 12.15.Ff, 12.15.Mh [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected]

Minimal SUSY SO(10) Model and Predictions for Neutrino Mixings and Leptonic CP Violation

We discuss a minimal Supersymmetric SO(10) model where B-L symmetry is broken by a 126 dimensional Higgs multiplet which also contributes to fermion masses in conjunction with a 10 dimensional superfield. This minimal Higgs choice provides a partial unification of neutrino flavor structure with that of quarks and has been shown to predict all three neutrino mixing angles and the solar mass spli...

Quark-Lepton Masses and the Neutrino Puzzle in the AGUT Model

We first discuss an approach to the fermion mass problem, according to which the whole of flavour mixing for quarks is determined by the mechanism responsible for generating the physical masses of the up and down quarks: the Lightest Flavour Mass Generation model. Then we consider fermion masses in the Anti-grand Unification Theory and, in particular, the neutrino mass and mixing problem. To be...

A Natural Solution to the Neutrino Mixing Problem

The combined requirements, of (i) a natural solution to the fermion mass hierarchy problem and (ii) an explanation of both the atmospheric and solar neutrino problems, lead to an essentially unique picture of neutrino masses and mixing angles. The electron and muon neutrinos are quasi-degenerate in mass with maximal mixing, giving ν e − ν µ vacuum oscillations. The overall neutrino mass scale i...

CP Violation and Baryogenesis due to Heavy Majorana Neutrinos

We analyze the scenario of baryogenesis through leptogenesis induced by the out-ofequilibrium decays of heavy Majorana neutrinos and pay special attention to CP violation. Extending a recently proposed resummation formalism for two-fermion mixing to decay amplitudes, we calculate the resonant phenomenon of CP violation due to the mixing of two nearly degenerate heavy Majorana neutrinos. Solving...

Supersymmetric SO(10) for fermion masses and mixings: rank-1 structures of flavour

We consider a supersymmetric SO(10) model with a SU(3) symmetry of flavour in which fermion masses emerge via the see-saw mixing with superheavy fermions in 16+16 representations. In this model the dangerous D = 5 operators of proton decay are naturally suppressed and flavour-changing supersymmetric effects are under control. The mass matrices for all fermion types (up and down quarks, charged ...
