Fermion Masses and Mixing in 331 Models with Horizontal Symmetry

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-31 v2

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.
