$\mathrm{Sp}(6)$ Unifying Deconstructed $\mathrm{SU}(2)$'s
Abstract
Understanding the origin of flavour hierarchies in the Standard Model remains an open problem, motivating extensions with non-trivial flavour symmetries. We unify deconstructed weak isospin into an symmetry at a high scale . The three generations of Standard Model (SM) left-handed doublets are unified into a single fundamental representation of . In addition to two BSM triplets from the breaking of , the enlarged symmetry predicts six additional gauge bosons below the unification scale: three triplets and three singlets, which induce flavour transitions in both the quark and lepton sectors, even in the presence of mass-gauge alignment. We derive updated bounds on the intermediate breaking scale of in the presence of the unification scale , mapping exclusions in the parameter space with . The most stringent constraints arise from precision flavour observables involving first- and second-generation transitions, including neutral meson mixing (, ), and conversion in nuclei. These measurements probe scales well beyond direct collider reach and imply for small , while for the bound relaxes to , recovering the limits of the model. Additionally we include projections from Mu3e and COMET-I and -II experiments which show promising further reach into the parameter space.
