Constraining Flavour Symmetries At The EW Scale II: The Fermion Processes

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2012-12-07 v4

Abstract

We study the set of models in which the Standard Model symmetry is extended with the flavour group A4 and there are three copies of the Standard Model Higgs that transform as a triplet under this group. In this setup, new channels for flavour violating processes can be studied once the A4 representations of the fermions in the theory are given. We show that it is of great importance to take these constraints into account as they can put severe constraints on the viability of flavour models.
