Fermion Masses and Mixing in 331 Models With Horizontal Symmetry

Abstract: The possibility of adding an SU (2) horizontal symmetry to the 331 model is studied. It is found that simple, anomaly-free fermion assignments can be made which lead to plausible results for fermion masses and mixings. In particular, all particles of the first generation are massless at tree-level, and the CKM matrix acquires a realistic form.

“…The LEP II experiments have given the lower limits on the vector bilepton masses around 100GeV [7]. The stringent lower bounds on vector bileptons require these particles to be heavier than 850GeV and 750GeV , which were established from muonium-antimuonium conversion [8] and from fermion pair production and lepton-flavor violating processes [9], respectively.…”

“…Fermion masses and the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa mixing matrix problem have already been considered in another version of the 3-3-1 model in Ref. [10] where an SU(2) horizontal symmetry was imposed and all masses of the first family vanish.…”

“…Furthermore, it is noted that the flavor changing neutral current (FCNC) [12] as well as CP(T) violation [13] through the lepton and quark parts appears in this case. It is known that FCNC can be avoided by taking into account the horizontal symmetry in addition to the 331 model [14].…”
